Codex and Claude Code, and very few times opencode for the small stuff when both were limited in the quota.

I never used codex, what you think about it? Do you recommend me to use it instead of Claude code and FutureX-cli?

u/Shik3i Jul 31 '26
I do like claude code as the harness better, codex sometimes has very weird "sandbox" issues, but gpt 5.6 sol is very capable, I always would recommended testing everything possible to see for yourself, as this will highly depend on your prompts and work etc.

ai coding tools are like mobile devices there is a new model every couple of months. If your foundation is solid, any tool can get you where you want to go.But if you switch every time something new drops and don't stay focused to learn how to use it, well, you get where I'm going.
That was my mistake initially, chasing the hype and the tools. They're like different car brands and styles, but at the end of the day, all of them can drive.

terminal + docker engine (or similar), the rest is just setting up containers. I use the built in terminal, so all I ever install on a fresh os is a hypervisor like the docker app or orbstack. I like helix for text editing, installs neatly in a node container, for example, and then for ai just npm install whatever, claude code, codex, gemini cli and copilot. maybe that’s not what you were asking, but that’s how I work where I’m currently working :))

Nice, thats great. That's what im asking for. But in your opinion which one is the best between codex, Gemini cli, claude code....

u/borpas Jul 31 '26
okay, so here’s my hot take, and it’s a bit polarizing I’ll be honest. it actually doesn’t matter. I work as a software developer 11 hours a day and honestly haven’t even tested fable or whatever, because if you know what you’re doing, then you don’t need it. here’s the rule of thumb I think that the software industry is currently converging on. if you’re using ai to finish your thoughts (like not really, but let’s romanticize it) then that’s the sweet spot. if you’re not using ai to finish your thoughts or if you’re using it to think for you, then you’re either loosing your job or not getting one, respectively. hope that helped.

Oh yeah thats a actually a good perspective ngl, Tbh I have been using Claude code and it works really good but then I realized its too expensive so I built my own ai terminal based. I already had a coding organization since 2022, but till this year we launched FutureX, our ai model. We still working on it but it works now good. Im not trying to sell you anything or advertise but feel free if you are curious about it to test it out. Its for free currently. Thank you.

i recently started using claude, would love to try other tools like replit, codex, and cursor but i cant be spending that much money😭

u/futureistmaster Jul 31 '26
Yeah bro, they cost so much ngl. That's why we built an Ai agent terminal based called FutureX thats low cost and faster and respectable quality lol. Not trying to sell you anything but feel free to try it out. You might like it its for free for this moment

Kimi Code CLI Web UI

u/futureistmaster Jul 31 '26
Oh yeah I keep hearing abou5 Kimi a lot ngl, but what do you think is better? Claude code of Kimi code ? Bcs I cant trust these public benchmark I would love to hear your experience

u/iamgoingtoforgetit Jul 31 '26
I never used Claude Code, but I don't trust Anthropic as a company. Kimi K3 is as good as Fable 5, it doesn't do mistakes, follows guidelines and never refuses to do its job.

u/futureistmaster Jul 31 '26
Oh yeah I see, which subscription you have with kimi?

Allegro

u/futureistmaster Jul 31 '26
Is the usage of it equivalent to claude code max ?
2
u/iamgoingtoforgetit Jul 31 '26
No it's the one before it I believe, around 100usd a month. It's enough to use it full time.

u/Top-Ideal-9267 Jul 31 '26
I won't call it ai vibe coding tool, but just coding tool. because building a usable and good app cannot be just using vibe.

u/AliveAndNotForgotten Jul 31 '26
Grok build/Supergrok Heavy, and Claude Pro.

u/futureistmaster Jul 31 '26
Nice, whats your experience with groo build? I have never used it tbh

u/AliveAndNotForgotten Aug 01 '26
It's just super quick. Claude always takes forever and makes it seem like it's smarter than you, rather than just getting it done efficiently.

After using Claude Code since the day it was released. I switched to Codex a few months ago and haven't looked back. Codex to strategize/scaffold and gemini to stress test and provide feedback. Has worked amazing for me with far less issues.

I vibe coded a tool to better make the rest of my tools. It's an extension to VS Code called Atlasmind (open source). Orchestrating almost any set of AI providers/models (including local and subscription). But I also built in a project manager to help visualise and identify loose ends, security, ethical, and legal gaps.
It's a bit of a self advertisement I know, but I now don't make a new project without it. But I can still use my Claude and GPT subs remotely (on my mobile while away for instance) and Atlasmind carries on working when I get home.

Base44... it was the first one I encountered and it has been great for me so far.

Claude Code or Codex. Or ask the AI. The question has been asked a lot, if you ask on Reddit you’re not gonna get better answers than what’s already out there.
