Anthropic dominates model mentions, Codex leads coding agents

Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch analyzed 1,400 developer replies to track AI usage trends, building an automated pipeline with Claude Opus, Gemini, and v0. The data reveals that while OpenAI's Codex beats Claude Code in agent mentions, Anthropic continues to dominate underlying model usage.

// ANALYSIS

The tooling landscape is fracturing: developers prefer Anthropic's models for reasoning, but OpenAI's agent ecosystem is gaining more traction. This split highlights how model superiority doesn't automatically translate to agent adoption.

–Anthropic is dominating OpenAI in raw model mentions, suggesting Claude remains the default choice for heavy lifting.
–OpenAI's Codex outpacing Claude Code in mentions points to a stronger developer ecosystem or distribution advantage.
–Rauch's analysis pipeline is a perfect showcase of modern AI development: mixing Opus for scripts, Gemini for classification, and v0 for UI.
–The finding that OpenAI is "catching up" indicates recent moves are starting to close the gap in developer mindshare.
