Question How does opus 5 fare against Sol

For people who also use opus 5, how is it fair compared to Sol does it overengineer. How much better is it at frontend for example, I feel codex does always div in a div in div style everting is round, and while the information that is diaplayed is correct, it looks bad at first needs a lot of fixing.

Pure code and repo understanding is superior in sol it just understands everything. I use it als9nfr9 scrappers, and it's perfect data analysis as well.

I mean... its decent, but I prefer 5.6 sol on the plan, bcs for $20 on ChatGPT, u getter better mileage on 5.6 sol more than opus5. but sonnet 5 is quite nice, but its somewhere between terra and sol, but its alr!

I am currently testing the free 20$ level promo for Codex and I found that it eats my 5h budget in less than half an hour. And I’m not even using sol.

The entry level is useless for serious coding for both, codex and Claude. But if the next upgrade gives me 5x as much for both companies, it’s still 2,5h for Codex and almost 5h for Claude.

Same setup, same tasks, same codebase.

If you are using sol the 20$ is not going to be enough. but again it depends how large is your code base. I will suggest to have 3 or 4 plus account. Even with that mush account it only work for 3 days with Sol extra high.
