Author tested daily OpenAI's o1-mini for coding, compared to the Claude Sonnet 3.5. Conclusion: The Claude Sonnet 3.5 is still better for everyday coding tasks.
✅ Advantages of o1-mini:
The 64k token output context allows for large-scale refactorings.
With a good prompt, he can complete a large refactoring task in 2-3 attempts.
❎ Disadvantages of o1-mini:
Requires very detailed and specific prompts.
Long thinking time requires a perfect prompt that takes edge cases into account.
Works in “one shot” mode, not suitable for conversational style of interaction.
Limited number of chats per day/week.
An overly verbose conclusion.
Errors in Cursor implementation (code duplication, lack of text output).
✨ Conclusions on comparison of o1-mini and Claude Sonnet 3.5:
o1-mini is better for large-scale refactoring projects or building new large projects.
The Claude Sonnet 3.5 remains the best choice for small task sets.
When working with o1-mini you need to be as specific and detailed in the prompts as possible.
