TLDR: Claude Opus 4.5 has emerged as the current leader in AI-assisted coding, and this hands-on tutorial demonstrates building a complete React Native breathwork app without writing a single line of code manually. The key insight is that while the model is slower than alternatives, its intelligence-speed tradeoff pays off in first-attempt accuracy.
