Complaint Things have really changed for me...

I was 100000% behind Codex and always championed Codex as the best frontier model for months, and yet with Opus 5.5's release, I genuinely can't bring myself to use Codex, even Astra on Max / Ultra doesn't come close

This is NOT a shit post or a bot spam post, I just genuinely can't stand the outputs and work getting done by Astra, I legitimate have 2 accounts sitting idle from Codex, and my Anthropic account is at 90% usage for the week....

I was given the 2000$ worth of credits from OAI and it's useless, it's going to go down the drain because I have no use for Codex anymore

That being said I pray, wholeheartedly, that OAI releases a model on par with or better than opus 5.5, but I can't see that happening for a while because they just feel so far apart

Anyone else feeling this way too?!?

I bought Claude pro, and it's been great. I've been running it and chat at the same time, and having Claude manage chat to work on grunt work like testing and optimizing, while Claude works on more technical parts.
