What’s the best LLM for debugging code?

GPT edges it for fast, precise root-cause hunts in logs and stacks—ideal for live fixes.

Which model handles large codebases best?

Claude, hands down—its context stitching crushes multi-file reasoning without losing the plot.

Will Claude replace GPT in engineering teams?

Not fully; hybrids rule—Claude for synthesis, GPT for iteration, per workload.
