Claude vs GPT vs Gemini: A Systems-Level Benchmark for Engineering Workflows

Why This Comparison Actually Matters Over the past year, large language models have quietly shifted from "developer tools" to core infrastructure inside engineering workflows. Whether you're debugging distributed systems, designing APIs, or generating test suites, models like OpenAI's GPT, Anthropic's Claude, and Google's Gemini are no longer optional - they're becoming operational dependencies. But most comparisons you see online are shallow. They focus on vibe-based outputs or simple prompts. That's not how senior engineers evaluate systems.
