Claude up to 16/36 as Opus 4.8 adds parallel subagents

Claude is the only score mover today, rising from 15 to 16/36 after Anthropic’s Opus 4.8 added dynamic workflows and parallel subagents for long-running coding tasks. ChatGPT moved the other way, dropping from 19 to 16/36 as its enterprise update centered on usage and spend tracking while leaving a control gap that IT buyers may notice. Signal is narrow, but the operator read is clear: the day favors tools that can keep complex work moving without losing task control or inspection.

Foundation-model news

Gemini 3.1 · Google DeepMind Model release
Designer Viktor Oddy published a 16-minute tutorial showing how to pair Google's Gemini 3.1 with ByteDance's Seedance 2.0. The workflow builds fully animated marketing sites that clients often pay $10,000 for, but in a fraction of the usual time. For those tracking AI video and media generation, this signals how fast creative tools are moving into production web work. The missing piece is the exact step that makes the whole pipeline feel more like a studio than a no-code demo.
