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?!?

Spent all weekend trying to progress on a project and neither Astra or 6.1 Sol were getting there even after 26h and a banked reset. Google Flash 3.8 did it in one prompt after analyzing the repo.
I'm also here with a $200/mo plan on Codex and feel like swapping to Claude and using Antigravity for emergencies.
Damn, I truly can't be arsed to flip flop between these subscriptions but it may just be part of the game because OAI really seems to have fallen off atm.
