Updates can change which assistant fits a task
Which assistant is stronger at writing, or at code, is not a settled fact. Anthropic and OpenAI update their models, instructions, and tools on different schedules, and each update can shift how the two compare. A , the trained engine behind an assistant, is only one of the moving parts.
So a tidy spring ranking can be wrong by summer. Keeping both assistants installed lets you rerun the comparison on your own work after a meaningful update. That fresh result says which one handles this job better today, without pretending the lead is permanent.

Answer
Ask what a few months of releases do to a chart.
