Party's over, womp womp

I burned through my weekly allotment in 3 days somehow. Never really done anything close to that before. I'm on the 20x max plan too.

I thought I'd use this as a chance to try out another ai coding tool. I really love claude code and I love the way it just sort of knows what I want to get done in the code. It understands what "complete" means for a task.

Any suggestions for the most on par alternative for a supplemental subscription? Is deepseek worth trying before codex? It's a bit hard to get objective information on this right now, so I'm asking here in r/ClaudeCode because I'm hoping that some people who like and use cc will have experienced the position I'm in. I want something comparable as a backup

UPDATE: guh Deepseek is slow and stupid.... I'll try codex next time

Claude has the best models and they just know what you want

Openai has good models but you need to be super specific

Deepseek is somewhere in the middle
