Interesting chart, but for CUDA I take issue with:

1) Reduction being red. Thrust/CUB give you:

* thrust::reduce
* thrust::transform_reduce
* cub::(Device/Block/Warp/Thread)Reduce

2) Traversal requiring kernels. Thrust/CUB give you:

* thrust::transform
* cub::DeviceTransform

Claude 4 > GPT5

---

I've been testing Claude 4 Sonnet vs GPT5 and GPT5-Fast in Cursor. GPT5 is too slow (and still failed at the task). GPT5-Fast was better but my anecdotal experience is that it isn't as good as Claude 4.
