# Model rankings shift; my workflows stay provider-neutral

ChatGPT 5.6 is fantastic, Grok 4.5 is the working horse.

In tokenomics time - Antropic loses the edge.

I was already prefering Cursor + Codex combo, and now it became even stronger.

Thankfully none of the workflows, skills, ways of working is specific provider dependant and is a simple lift-and-shift,

But clearly I would recommend Cursor for knowledge work these days for flexibility + multi model access at will.

Will it stay? Of course not.
