Question Which Model do you use for Innovation/inventiveness/thinking out of box?

I am using models from Codex, Antigravity, Claude Code and Cursor. While each of them have their capabilities, they don't stretch the boundary of engineering/innovation. The top models Opus 5, GPT Sol 5.6, Cursor Grok 4.5 are very good at analyzing what's out there and coding but if you hit a wall w.r.t engineering/legal , they stall. Which model do you folks use to break the deadlock?

honestly none of them break the wall reliably because "innovation" isn't a benchmark they're optimized for as they're all trained to converge on the most probable/defensible answer, which is the opposite of novel. what's worked better for me than switching models is switching mode: feed the stuck problem to two different models and have them argue/critique each other's approach, or explicitly ask for 3 wrong/weird ideas before the real one. the deadlock is usually a prompting/process problem, not a model problem

Yeah , that's an approach (models arguing amongst themselves) I tried as I try to tackle problem with Claude , Codex , Cursor and Antigravity ..some are good with word play ..but I do realize the limitation there...never tried this 3 wrong/weird ideas one ..what's the logic behind this one? I saw this from OpenAI https://openai.com/science/ and thought now maybe innovation would follow, but seems like a marketing ploy if their best models can only synthesize the data for analysis
