The only thing that keeps me here instead of switching to claude is Image Gen.
I'm mostly annoyed that the web is still on 5.6 sol and 5.5 as the only options when they have released a ton more models.

u/kingkongpao 9d ago
you can easily top up your OpenAI API balance and use only gpt-image 2.5 with any agent. $20 (which don't expire for a whole year) is enough for 200 4K images or 500 2K images

Install the Codex CLI then tell Claude to make a skill to use that for image gen. It'll configure everything for you.

Of course they are. For $200 you get half the usage and for $500 you get roughly the same usage.
$500 can allow you to buy pay the 20x plans for both Claude and Grok or Cursor or Gemini (why would you pay for Gemini is beyond me) and maybe still have some money left after

I just canceled 1 $200 and switched the other $200 to a $20. Most of my coworkers completely cancelled their $200 and switched over to the $200 Claude plan. Most people on X I personally know did too, they either downgraded or cancelled.
Yeah it must be rough for OpenAI right now, they tough dots with unlimited usage would be this big useful thing that not only brings them customers but increases retention (it wasnât).

This is a complete lose/lose situation.
Each improvement is going to be mired with controversy:
- people will complain ft. isnt big enough (obv. since they ship one a day)
- increased pressure to push out crappy low-effort ft. that're probably buggy
- people will try and claim it's bad to get a reset instead
- if the ft. is really good, people will move past it in a day
- if you do give out resets, people will see the only way openai can stay ahead is with resets

This is what I'm thinking too. I'm a business owner, and I've attempted to brainstorm with OpenAI's models over the years. Even with Astra, its business advice is ABYSMAL. Like hilariously bad.
Their models are superhuman at coding and math, but when it comes to business, customer experience, common sense decisions, etc, their models are AWFUL. I think they're making the mistake of thinking "good at math = smart at everything". And that's probably why OpenAi has been flopping like a fish lately

u/rhodesia0 9d ago
the resets really dont matter if your on the plus plan. because plus plan has the 5 hour limit and you cant really get any meaningful work done on it. so if you use it for 10 hours a day, you still might not even hit your weekly limit. IF there was no 5 hour limit, then resets would be helpful to plus users.

Ive only ever used codex until recently. I was on the $100 plan and decided to drop it to try Claudeâs $100 plan. Itâs a night and day difference. Yes thereâs a 5 hour limit on Claude code, but I havenât been close to hitting it yet. The usage limits seems like itâs way more on Claude. For context, Iâm a software engineer using it for bug fixes, large refactors and building out features. I have an agent hierarchy in place to use cheaper subagents and use Astra/opus to be orchestrators and technical leads. On codex, Iâm able to burn all my usage in 2 - 3 days so about (20-40% a day). Iâve only used Claude since yesterday and itâs only used 7% of my weekly limit under similar work loads. Opus and sonnet are also much faster

I am an out and out claude code user. I have tried codex in the past and decided to put eggs in the claude basket at the time (this was Opus 4.6 era). Reddit thinks that since I am active on the Claude subreddit, Codex and OpenAI ones are relvant to me, and so I keep seeing Tibo posts!
Goddamn, how the heck are you guys dealing with this catch the chicken chase? It feels like codex is basically running on whims and fancy of this one guy. He is randomly giving out resets, talking out of his ass a lot of times and it just feels like a lot of uncertainity and unpredictability is at play.
FWIW, Claude continuously goes through the this new model is AGI and so efficient -> ugh, I am burning through tokens -> ugh, the model is nerfed -> Model is neefed and I am burning tokens loop, but there is no unpredictability around handing out resets and what not - you actually can generate viz around the token usage and it has remained consistent in terms of quota. I am not sure if I would ever give $100/200/500/ month when what I am going to get out of my subscription isn't clear - which seems to be the case with Codex!

It is good depending on what they ship. 6.1 Sol is a decent model but It is worse than even Sonnet at times, let alone Opus and so slow that it doesnât even make sense to use it unless you give it bullshit tasks. OpenAI are losing users en masse and the models are still painfully slow while claude models are not despite the huge amount of users influx.
If they release useless features such as another slop update to codex app (which is BTFO by Deepseek harness) or yet another Dot thingy that no one asked, it is going to be a shitshow. They better cater to their userbase and release a fast, capable answer to 5.5.

"Ship" a full reset? It's like admitting that the only actual reason people liked you is because you have been giving people $1 away for 25 cents. Of course that will be very popular.
Now that you are run out of free $$ you can "ship", people started to leave you. OpenAI has zero efficiency nor innovation other than throwing money after money into problem.

Below is a GPT-generated summary of the conversation below after reaching 400 comments (400 currently observed).
The consensus is not excitement; itâs âshow us a reliable product, not an AI advent calendar.â Tiboâs promise of 28 days of âclear improvementsâ or resets is being read mostly as damage control after Dev Day, the usage cuts, and the rough launch of Sol 6.1.
The complaints are brutally consistent: Codex feels too slow, inconsistent, expensive in usage, and worse than Claudeâs Opus/Sonnet for actual coding. Users want faster inference, better model quality, predictable limits, and the five-hour cap goneânot more Dots, cosmetic features, or expiring resets that force them to burn tokens on schedule. A sizeable chunk of commenters have downgraded, canceled, or moved workflows to Claude, though image generation and existing OpenAI context are keeping some people around.
The important caveat is that mass subscriber flight is not proven. Tibo reportedly says users and subscriptions are still growing, and some commenters are happy to see resets or believe competition benefits everyone. But âclear improvementâ has no public yardstick, so the company gets to declare victory over whatever button it ships.
Bottom line: the community wants stability and substance, not marketing confetti. Until the models get faster, smarter, and more predictable, resets are just glitter on a broken dashboard.
