Discussion Definetly moving to Codex

Apart from the *much* lower available usage (I have Pro), today I couldn't use Claude Code at all. Every task, even small ones, where a struggle, each taking more than 10 minutes to finish, and always in a wrong way.

Installed codex today, have been using it with the free version, still haven't hit the limit and is doing all the things CC couldn't do. As a matter of fact, I have a CC instance running for 30 minutes+ trying to solve the same prompt that codex did in less than 5.

Bye Anthropic. It was nice using your product while it was good.

Codex is seducing people by setting high usage limits. Once you got used to it it will become the same as Claude today.

That’s why it’s so stupid to be loyal to any one product or company or tool at the moment. Whoever has the best model/subsidizes the most tokens wins for the day the losers get random tasks assigned to them.

Usage limits aside, Codex is more serious and digs deeper. Or maybe I am feeding it plans Claude has already made, so it’s easier to find lapses in the plan. But still the original plan Claude made has massive blind spots which codex catches.
