GPT-5.5 vs Claude Opus 4.7
The short answer
Both are frontier models you can call through one key on ApexApi. GPT-5.5 is the broad multimodal generalist with strong tool orchestration, so it is a safe default for mixed workloads and agents. Claude Opus 4.7 leans into careful long-form reasoning and agentic coding over large contexts. If your work is heavy on multi-file code and deliberate analysis, try Opus first. For general assistants and tool-using agents, start with GPT-5.5. The honest answer is to A/B them on your own prompts, which one key makes easy.
