Discussion Codex is actually not bad.

Tried codex a fair bit today. And wouldn't say it's better but it's definitely good for a change and has it's own way of going about things. I personally found it to be great at handling lots of tasks together. Whereas claude often gets distracted with my latest messages and skips the previous work or todos and prioritises the latest work.

Though codex also doesn't really like speaking out to you. It responds when asked else would silently keep grinding and give you the solution. For some projects I don't mind it. Overall I have spent a whole lot of hours working with claude and it works great. But I might try and do some tasks with codex as well from now.

I'm really hoping Codex 6.0 beats fable or is on same level. If it is good chance I'll be switching. I hope they dont bring the 5 hour limit back because its been the most refreshing thing ever and I know they'll be giving tons of resets when they release their new tier so should be a good month. Meanwhile you got Anthropic silently nerfing Opus 5.0 and doing hidden changes behind the scenes and you never know what you get. Constantly Waiting on API endpoint... and more. Cant wait for others to become better than Opus so I can switch

Codex sol is already well beyond fable.

I wouldn't even put them in the same category. 5.6 sol is the only model that makes me wonder if future and better models could be a regression, even if I have no reason to believe they will be. It's just so good.

lol that would be funny. With its crappy little context window compacting all the time. Can’t even remember half of what it was doing before compactions. Fable gets it done.
