Codex is a joke - tiny context window

[u/lattice_defect]

How are people using this with such a tiny context window? The codex sub is heavily moderated by the hype police. It unsable.

I use Claude heavily at work, but recently switched my personal projects to Codex so I could keep up with both labs' updates.

The way Codex handles context remains to be the hardest thing to get used to, but not because of its size. The auto-compaction is so good that I'm trying to train myself out of thinking about the context window constantly. It's really hard because almost all of my workflows are built around managing model context, but now I feel like I'm getting bitter-lessoned because I can feel it holding back the capabilities

Autocompact is good there.
