AI coding agents: GPT-5.5, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Gemini 3.5 Flash compared

A recent comparison evaluated three AI coding agents: OpenAI's Codex (powered by GPT-5.5), Anthropic's Claude Code (using Claude Sonnet 4.6), and Google's Antigravity (with Gemini 3.5 Flash). The experiment focused on real-world engineering tasks to determine which agent performed best. GPT-5.5 excelled in terminal command execution, Claude Sonnet 4.6 led in SWE-Bench for production code tasks, and Gemini 3.5 Flash demonstrated superior multi-tool orchestration capabilities and speed.
