Claude Code outperforms Minimax M3 in coding tasks, boosting PRs 19x

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer compared the performance of two AI coding assistants, Minimax M3 and Claude Code, over a 30-day period. The switch to Claude Code resulted in a significant increase in merged pull requests, with 1,845 merged in 30 days compared to 295 over the preceding three months on Minimax M3. This jump was attributed to a combination of factors, including the AI model's capabilities, a six-fold increase in agent working hours, and a change in workflow where the developer no longer reviewed every pull request personally. Despite a four-fold increase in cost, the cost per merged pull request decreased significantly. AI
