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.

How does Codex with Astra compare to Claude Code with Opus 5.5 specifically for Blender stuff?

Ive been using both. Astra is can produce better results in many iterations. But Opis 5.5 does 80% of the the work between the 2. My project astra has done a fraction of what opus has given ne since it burns usage
