Gate News message, April 27 — SemiAnalysis, a semiconductor and AI analysis firm, released a comparative benchmark of coding assistants including GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7, and DeepSeek V4. The key finding: GPT-5.5 marks OpenAI’s first return to the cutting edge in coding models in six months, with SemiAnalysis engineers now alternating between Codex and Claude Code after previously relying almost exclusively on Claude. GPT-5.5 is based on a new pretraining approach codenamed “Spud” and represents OpenAI’s first expansion of pretraining scale since GPT-4.5.
In practical testing, a clear division of labor emerged. Claude handles new project planning and initial setup, while Codex excels at reasoning-intensive bug fixes. Codex demonstrates stronger data structure comprehension and logical reasoning but struggles with inferring ambiguous user intent. On a single dashboard task, Claude automatically replicated the reference page layout but fabricated large amounts of data, while Codex skipped the layout but delivered significantly more accurate data.
The analysis reveals a benchmark manipulation detail: OpenAI’s February blog post urged the industry to adopt SWE-bench Pro as the new standard for coding benchmarks. However, GPT-5.5’s announcement switched to a new benchmark called “Expert-SWE.” The reason, buried in fine print, is that GPT-5.5 was surpassed by Opus 4.7 on SWE-bench Pro and fell significantly short of Anthropic’s unreleased Mythos (77.8%).
Regarding Opus 4.7, Anthropic published a postmortem analysis one week after release, acknowledging three bugs in Claude Code that persisted for several weeks from March to April, affecting nearly all users. Multiple engineers had previously reported performance degradation in version 4.6 but were dismissed as subjective observations. Additionally, Opus 4.7’s new tokenizer increases token usage by up to 35%, which Anthropic openly admitted—effectively constituting a hidden price increase.
DeepSeek V4 was assessed as “keeping pace with the frontier but not leading,” positioning itself as the lowest-cost alternative among closed-source models. The analysis also noted that “Claude continues to outperform DeepSeek V4 Pro on high-difficulty Chinese writing tasks,” commenting that “Claude won against the Chinese model in its own language.”
The article introduces a key concept: model pricing should be evaluated by “cost per task” rather than “cost per token.” GPT-5.5’s pricing is double that of GPT-5.4 (input $5, output $30 per million tokens), but it completes the same tasks using fewer tokens, making the actual cost not necessarily higher. Initial SemiAnalysis data shows Codex’s input-to-output ratio at 80:1, lower than Claude Code’s 100:1.

DeepSeek V4 Pro with Ollama Cloud: One-click integration with Claude Code
According to an Ollama tweet, DeepSeek V4 Pro was released on 4/24, has been added to the Ollama catalog in cloud mode, and can call tools like Claude Code, Hermes, OpenClaw, OpenCode, Codex, etc. with just a single line of command. V4 Pro: 1.6T params, 1M context, Mixture-of-Experts; cloud inference does not download local weights. If you want to run it locally, you need to obtain the weights yourself and run it with INT4/GGUF and multi-card GPUs. Early speed tests were affected by cloud load; typical performance is about 30 tok/s, with a peak of 1.1 tok/s. It is recommended to use the cloud prototype first, and for production later, run inference yourself or use a commercial API.

Guo Ming-chi: OpenAI wants to build an AI Agent phone; MediaTek, Qualcomm, and Luxshare Precision are key in the supply chain
Guo Ming-chi claims that OpenAI is working with MediaTek, Qualcomm, and Luxshare Precision to develop an AI Agent phone, with mass production expected in 2028. The new phone will be centered on task completion: an AI agent will understand and execute requests, combining cloud and on-device computing, with a focus on sensing and contextual understanding. The specifications and supply chain list are expected to be finalized in 2026–2027; if it takes shape, it could bring a new upgrade cycle to the high-end market, and Luxshare may become a major beneficiary.
