The author tested the o1-mini model from OpenAI daily for coding, comparing it with Claude Sonnet 3.5. Conclusion: Claude Sonnet 3.5 is still better suited for everyday coding tasks.
✅ Advantages of o1-mini:
The output context of 64k tokens allows for large-scale refactorings.
With a good prompt, it can perform a large refactoring task in 2-3 attempts.
❎ Disadvantages of o1-mini:
Requires very detailed and specific prompts.
Long thinking time requires an ideal prompt considering edge cases.
Works in "one-shot" mode, not suitable for conversational interaction style.
Limited number of chats per day/week.
Excessively verbose output.
Errors in Cursor implementation (code duplication, lack of text output).
✨ Conclusions on the comparison of o1-mini and Claude Sonnet 3.5:
o1-mini is better for large-scale refactoring projects or creating new large projects.
Claude Sonnet 3.5 remains the best choice for a set of small tasks.
When working with o1-mini, you need to be as specific and detailed as possible in the prompts.
