Claude Sonnet 5.5 handles 33 coding tasks in 5-hour window, outperforming Opus

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user conducted an experiment to determine how many coding tasks could fit within a 5-hour window across different Anthropic Claude models and OpenAI's Codex. The results indicated that Claude Pro with Sonnet 5.5 could handle approximately 33 tasks, Haiku 5.5 around 20, Codex Sol 6.1 about 18, and Opus 5.5 only about 6. The user noted that Haiku, despite being a cheaper model, fit fewer tasks than Sonnet, suggesting it might take longer to complete tasks. These figures are estimates based on a single task type and default model settings. AI

IMPACT Sonnet 5.5 appears to be the most cost-effective for coding tasks within a 5-hour window, offering significantly more tasks than Opus.
