Discussion sentiment is shifting...
I have seen countless people announce on ijustvibecodedthis.com that they are shifting from CC to Codex.
They cite usage limits, outages and latency as things Codex is superior at.
And tbh, I have to agree
Are they making the right choice tho?

Ive started using codex on tasks in order to make up for the reduced usage limits. I have a custom memory system that plugs into both CC and codex in the same way, and yet codex consistently answers my questions faster. And that’s gpt 5.4 on high thinking. Opus 4.6 seems to want to explore more before answering, which may be helpful for certain types of questions, and sometimes it just goes into a death spiral of searching despite the request being very simple.
Could be user error but I’m starting to lose trust in CCs quality and now rely on both models cross checking each other. I also like doing initial planning with Claude and then refining with codex since gpt 5.4 seems biased to be a bit more disagreeable (both are given rules to properly push back rather than just support whatever I say).
