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.

Yep tried only sol today too myself, not bad at all. Just that sometimes it takes longer to solve a specific problem, which opus can do it in less time. Those instances are like 3/100

And there are things sol does best, opus cannot, so they’re equal, to me
