I've been using Codex since before ChatGPT (the OG version) and CC since launch. For me personally - Claude Code with Opus/Sonnet generally has better taste, more personality in interactions, and is more willing to just do the work. Paired with skills, LSPs, linters, and hooks, it works very well. I think of the two like this:

Claude Code with Opus/Sonnet is the L7 senior engineer still gunning for promotion. Hasn't hit burnout, hasn't been ground down by terrible teams yet. Capable and willing to get their hands dirty. Codex (the harness) with GPT-5.4 or 5.3-codex is fantastic but terse. Some of the UX frustrates me. I want a visual task list. That said, Codex as a harness is phenomenal. Think of it as the senior EM / CTO-in-waiting who won't write new code without complaining and nitpicking for hours. But they'll thoroughly tear your code apart and produce a plan you can execute yourself or pass to Claude Code.

Both are great, and so is Factory Droid. Also worth checking out Compound Engineering from Every.to if you haven't.

I guess I can stop being upset about no longer having access to Webpass anymore and being back in the Comcast handcuffs.

Does GLM-5 have multimodality or are they still wanting you to load an MCP for vision support?

I'm getting that trying to load the content at all, text included.
brianjking··on You can turn Claude's most annoying feature off
This is one of my favorite features. That's my second favorite, I enjoy reticulating iirc.
brianjking··on 19 States approved permanent daylight saving time
Uniform time act of 1966 prevents this being set at the state level outside of remaining forever in standard time.

Until this goes away or a federal bill passes, nothing will change: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Time_Act.

This only allows states to choose to switch or to remain in "standard time", there's not an option to remain in "savings time".

brianjking··on The First Fully General Computer Action Model
Very exciting, great work to you and the team. Will there be any APIs available for commercial use or open source access?

What's the plan on that front?

brianjking··on OpenAI should build Slack
Butterfield should bring Glitch back, that's for sure.

Pretty damn great bird, tbh.

Director.ai uses Stagehand, which is made by Browserbase.
brianjking··on Fara-7B: An efficient agentic model for computer use
Correct, this only works in the browser w/ Playwright as far as I can tell from a quick test.

Care sharing some of your sub-agent usage? I've always intended to really make use of them, but with skills, I don't know how I'd separate these in many use cases?

They also reset limits today, which was also quite kind as I was already 11% into my weekly allocation.
brianjking··on Show HN: RowboatX – open-source Claude Code for everyday automations
LOTS! Sometimes for quick file system organization, creating Claude skills, deep document analysis.

Anthropic published a doc or two about this too, here's one of them: https://www-cdn.anthropic.com/58284b19e702b49db9302d5b6f135a...

It is so impressive that Anthropic has been able to maintain this pricing still.

Google has always done this.

This is an awesome benchmark. Officially one of my favorites now. Thank you for making this.
brianjking··on Cerebras Code now supports GLM 4.6 at 1000 tokens/sec
Does this allow me to use Claude Code as the orchestration harness with GLM 4.6 as the LLM along with other LLMs? Seems so based on your description, thanks for the link.

I couldn't load the article. I was getting a nginx error initially. I'm able to view now. I think they were getting a bit squeezed.

Is this able to load for anyone?

I must say that I loved the idea of a tardigrade riding a surfboard. You're welcome.

Granted not an SVG, but still awesome.

Their massive increase in token processing since Veo3 and nano banana have been released would say otherwise...

Or we're all just used to eating things we don't like and smiling.

Wait, this wasn't what I was experiencing. Did something change in gpt-5-codex or was that your normal experience?
