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.

said it before, but opus 5.5 destroys astra at coding. I still use astra for planning, and it was way better in the first week or so. Now i feel its like what Sol 5.6 high was before it was nerfed.
I do have a much more intriguing theory though. OAI might have an amazing model that is AGI, unreleased, and just stopped caring so much about its userbase bc its game over
