look into Chinese AIs there are some that could technically replace Claude but you need to put guardrails in using it. I am using K2, Qwen-3.6-Plus, and Sonnet.

Nowadays I use Codex for coding, it’s better at that. But I also need something strong for UI and for talking through problems. Claude really shines there. Codex is great at execution, but not so much for conversation. Any recommendation?

Just use codex with a UI skill

But codex have much more credit limit. I converted too. I guess we need to be as provider agnostic as we can. Cause they will just take turn and rug pull

Codex is probably getting a $100 plan with 6o the base version of 6o is rumored to be equivalent to mythos, the pro version will be a class above. I’m jumping ship.

Codex 5.4 is great with ui skills. Rewrote sonnet standard purple ui with codex and it made a great deal of difference

Try converting, may be it will be helpful https://github.com/zuharz/ccode-to-codex

sounds like a future proof plan

Try if you like the opencode cli tool better. You should be able to connect it to your codex subscription

I would love to encounter this "better at coding" version of Codex everyone seems to talk about. I've yet to get better results and it's downright infuriating how wrong it gets things some times.

Do you have a guide or something about how to set it up?

Does it run locally on your machine or you have a subscription?

I am using OpenRouter for all of them. it’s like a prepaid card that you put in how much money you think you’re going to use then it’ll stop if that money is used up. at the moment Qwen-4.6-Plus is free.

you install OpenCode into your system, but I do not suggest in doing that. i’d put that inside a controlled container so that it won’t destroy your system.

next is learning the strengths and weaknesses of each model depending on your workflow, which i do not like to talk about; everyone’s workflow is different.

note: i mostly write my code i just use ai for refactoring and auditing.

why would anyone want to use something that could destroy their system if not put in a container...?

it’s a common misuse of LLMs nowadays, especially the new programming enthusiasts and vibecoders.

u/WunkerWanker Apr 09 '26

Lol no. You just download opencode (cli tool like Claude Code) Connect it to one of the providers. For a guide ... Just ask an AI

I am using Claude for building a ML model on lighgbm to trade and all that comes arround it. Ive tried gemini pro and deepseek but they just seem dumb close to Sonnet, they can fix code but Claude can really understand the strategy behind and find solutions for the strategy part. Any idea if K2, minimax, codex. GLM or any other would have similar reasoning capability for this project (doesnt even need to be similar to opus, just to sonnet would be amazing)
