> and use my $800/month company Claude allowance only for the tricky stuff that Codex can’t figure out.

It doesn’t seem controversial that the model that can solve more complex problems (that you admit the cheaper model can’t solve) costs more.

For the things I use it for, I’ve not found any other model to be worth it.



You’re assuming rational behavior from a company that doesn’t care about losing billions of dollar.

Have you tried Codex with OpenAi’s latest models?


Not in the last 2 months.

Current clause subscription is a sunk cost for the next month. Maybe I’ll try codex if Claude doesn’t lead anywhere.


I use both. As I’m working, I tell each of them to update a common document with the conversation. I don’t just tell Claude the what. I tell it the why and have it document it.

I can switch back and forth and use the MD file as shared context.
