A user found that Anthropic's Claude Opus model significantly outperformed other frontier and local models, including GPT-5, in complex low-level systems engineering tasks. The user detailed a project where Opus successfully reverse-engineered firmware, identified CRC structures, and automated binary patching for an AirPlay speaker to disable an idle timer. This experience led the user to conclude that Opus operates on a different level for demanding binary analysis tasks. AI
