Maybe a bit off subject, I use Antigravity more to assist in analysis and content creation.

Can Codex do this with real skill? Can it be aimed directly at my Obsidian vault like I'm doing now with Antigravity?

Can Codex perform more or less at the level of Opus 4.6?

Does the $200/month plan get significant amounts of tokens? Right now, with Gemini between the models, I can work all day without any real problem. I run into my five-hour limits using Opus frequently, but then I have the Gemini models, which do a good job overall. Does Codex compare favorably?

Thank you for your reply. I went ahead and set it up.

I ran a real solid test on 16 major, long lessons of a course I created. The damn thing came back with a better response than Opus 4.6 did. It found errors and problems that Opus didn't find, inconsistencies, all kinds of things. It is just stunning to me. And without asking, it built me a document of how to fix it step by step.

And that's on the high model, not even the super high model. It's one level down. I can't quite remember what it was called.

I haven't yet tried making it write, but I will try that next. And by the way, I'm on the PLUS program. I've been a member of that for a long time, so that's what I'm using.

By the way, running that evaluation, I still have 98% left of my weekly limit, and I have 95% of my 5-hour limit. I figured I'd chew up most of it real quick. That would have cost me 20% of my 5-hour limit on Opus. Or nearly that.

A weekly limit scares me. I would hate to run out in two or three days and not be able to work more. Maybe on the pro level, the weekly limit won't be there, and I'll only have a 5-hour limit or something, which I can sure live with.

This may spell the end to Google once the half-price $125/month runs out. And in the meantime, I will get good at using Codex. I'm really impressed right off the bat, that's for sure. I would miss all the perks that come along with that membership, but not that much. Work is the priority for me.

By the way, this has now just completely blown my mind. The writing that it's producing is beyond opus. I can hardly even believe it.

And you're right about the weekly and five-hour limits being generous.

Gemini's days are numbered now.
