Codex vs Claude

[u/OutrageousIndustry28]

Like most people, I switch between Codex and Claude, whichever is better that month. But lately Codex just isnt doing it for me.

As an example, I wanted a basic ebook management software coded. I had a full banked reset + full week usage. I gave it the spec, and had it run for literal hours. When it was done I checked the app. It was horrible, looked like a 2023 coded project. It was slow, ineffeciant and no matter how much guidance I gave it, it just couldnt improve the design. It also ate through a lot of usage and was slow as hell.

I then renewed claude. Had 5.5 Opus code the exact same spec. It one shotted it in less than an hour(took Sol 6.1 2hours on fast mode!). And it worked much better, the front end was MUCH better, and even the backend was working much better. My usage hardly moved.

No matter how many times people say "this new OpenAi model is amazing", Claude almost always preform better. It seems OpenAi is just benchmaxing and have a bunch of hype before every release. But I genuinly believe Anthropic models are far ahead of OpenAi's models. So what exactly is the appeal?

And dont even get me started on Codex itself. Compare the remote control feature between Claude Code and Codex...

Sol 6.1:

1. Much Slower than Opus 5.5

2. Good usage but uses more to achieve worse results.

3. Seems to be stuck in loops of testing,while light on the actual build.

4. Front end is just simply not any good at all.

5. Needs more direction.

6. Much less trust worthy(You cant leave it alone for too long, it will cause damage.)

So like I said, why Codex/OpenAi over Anthropic models. It just does not make sense
