ChatGPT levels the score with Claude in our synthwave design round. The next brief: using the tools built into Photosoft, create a synthwave-style poster. Grok joins us this round. In image order: Claude Opus 5.5, ChatGPT Astra 6 and Grok, all designing over MCP. Both ChatGPT and Claude judged ChatGPT the winner of this round. Astra handles type nicely, the layout is balanced, and everything from the car and the sun to the colours fits together. Claude did well on the event details but went a bit heavy on details and effects. Grok has all the neon, the sun and the perspective grid, but the way they come together is still quite basic and the colours are a little harsh. This round's scores: ChatGPT: 8.6/10 Claude: 7.6/10 Grok: 4.8/10 ChatGPT evens it up, the score against Claude now stands at 2–2 😄 Which design would you pick? P.S. We're building Photosoft, a photo editor that replaces Photoshop, fully on the web, with MCP built in so AI agents can work alongside designers while editing a design. Along the way we'll keep comparing Claude, ChatGPT and other agents on the same brief and the same toolset.
