That "full quarter" included the Christmas holidays for many people, during which not a lot of work gets done.

I think it's a bit early to expect to see huge visible output from these new tools. A lot of people are still spinning up on them - learning to use a coding agent effectively takes months.

And for people who are spun up, there's a lot more to shipping new features and products that writing the code. I expect we'll start to see companies ship features to customers that benefited from Opus 4.5/4.6 and Codex 5.2/5.3 over the next few months, but I'm not surprised there hasn't been a huge swell in stuff-that-shipped in just the ~10 weeks since those models become available.

There is one notable example that's captured the zeitgeist: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw had its first commit on November 25th 2025, 3 months later it's had more than 10,000 commits from 600 contributors, attracted 196,000 stars and (kind-of) been featured in a Superbowl commercial (apparently that's what the AI.com thing was, if anyone could get the page to load - https://x.com/kris/status/2020663711015514399 )
