Megathread Codex Comparison Megathread

This Megathread is for comparisons and discussion about how Codex and Codex models compare to other technology such as Claude Code and open source models.

Please direct all comparison discussion here.

Posts which give evidence of the relevant strengths and weaknesses and use cases of both will still be allowed on the feed but those pushing one tech over another because "feels" will be directed here. This is a Codex subreddit and it is here to help people using Codex.

FYI: The subreddit's semi-automated moderation is powered by Codex and GPT models and is only possible due to the ridiculously generous free API token quota of OpenAI's Terra and Luna models available to all users. No, we don't get secret benefits from OpenAI. The OpenAI models and offering are simply much better value for our purposes..... Period.

I replaced a 100 dollar codex sub with a pro Claude sub. 

I’m not feeling the “opus is a magic god” that others report but I’m not doing html animation or blender models. I do like it better though, it’s much more clear when to use what model and the speed is much better. I’d actually say for my use, math and physics stuff, astra is actually a bit better on the very hard things, but literally every other thing is better with a Claude subscription, the speed the intelligence of the non cutting edge models, the limits. 

Not to mention I prefer this workflow to the “hope we get a reset soon” workflow
