The negative reactions here are baffling me. The fact that we can even get to say 30% with computer is amazing. So much hatred towards AI and anything from the frontier labs like OpenAI (or Goog for that matter) makes no sense.

“I did not wake up to be a loser. This loser attitude, makes no sense to me.” - Frontier Model Labs (original quote by Jensen in a podcast)

There is really no reason to use Claude code anymore. Codex is much better with gpt 5.5. Not to mention, it’s open source, they play well with third parties, they don’t hold the model like mythos for elite companies, they have other good models like imagegen and I can use however the heck I want like openclaw.

Codex is becoming such a good product. I have the 100$ pro lite. I have Claude still but 20$. I rarely use it. Let’s see if they give generous limits and more importantly a model that’s better than 5.5. The mythos fear mongering did not give me a good impression that they care about the average developer.

Use the imagegen skill in codex and ask it to create sprites. It works really well.

“Insider is supported by ANTHROPIC“ get their money and act like independent? What a joke

While OpenAI was late to the game with codex, they are (inspite of the hate they get) consistent in model performance, limits, and model getting better along with harness (which is open source unlike Claude) and they don’t hype shit up like mythos. It seems like Anthropic PR game is scare tactics and squeeze out developers while getting money from big tech. Not to forget they are the ones worked with palantir first. Blatant marketing game but it has worked for them! Something to learn by other companies.

Gpt 5.4 high with fast mode in codex app is hands down the best way to do anything coding or non coding. If you have not tried it you are missing out. 100$ well spent. Claude code is too hyped up on HN.

Unfortunately the paper doesn’t include gpt 5.3 which was released around the same time as opus 4.6 and also gpt 5.4 few days back. Both are available via api

https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-5.3-codex

IMHO The harness must be used when running these experiments. The model vendors know best on giving the best harness with gpt 5.4 and codex or Claude code with opus 4.6 which makes a big difference if you are running any kind of agentic coding tasks.

I see both Claude and gpt to be neck and neck in coding. Every other model+harness is definitely 3-6 months behind. Right now codex seems to be the best in terms of solving complex bugs, long running tasks, much higher limits and even speed while Claude seems to do well in front end and their cli ux seems nice! Codex app is very good though (wish it wasn’t electron as a memory hog but it’s good)

ChatGPT has given more for my 20$ than any other vendor. And that’s not even considering codex which is so good and the limits are much much higher

It’s disgusting how they have successfully fooled people into thinking they are the good guys. They partnered with palantir, let them freely do the dirty work and once they realized they can make money directly they spin the PR and just trying to get more users. Well played.

I wish oss models are good so that we don’t have to deal with either leading companies!

They are playing a good PR game for sure. Their recent track record doesn’t show if they can be trusted. Few millions is nothing for their current revenue and saying they sacrificed is a big stretch here.

5.1 is 100 years old in AI world.

That’s their excuse to still appeal to people who can be tricked with their safety first pitch. It’s easy to have constitution and all the crap when you are not battle tested. They just showed their true colors.

If you haven’t used codex with gpt-5.3-codex (high or xhigh) you are missing out. Claude is still good at conversations but boy I can have codex go at a problem and it does better than Claude almost all the time. Front end and product UX Claude is slightly better but given the very very generous limits of codex, they are the best bang for buck

At this point if one lab comes up with a feature it’s a matter of time before another does the same!

Codex 5.3 is hands down the best model for coding as of today

That’s gpt-5.3-codex released last week

It’s not a crime if you do something for money. Those who comment are likely doing the same and they couldn’t get into a company like OpenAI and hence the hatred! Keep doing the great work you always did! Excited to see what you ll do with all the resources in the world.

Its SWE bench pro not swe bench verified. The verified benchmark has stagnated

5.3 codex https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-5-3-codex/ crushes with a 77.3% in Terminal Bench. The shortest lived lead in less than 35 minutes. What a time to be alive!

Codex seems to give compensation tokens whenever this happens! Hope Claude gives too.

Nvda is not the only exception. Private big names are losing money but there are so many public companies seeing the time of their life. Power, materials, dram, storage to name a few. The demand is truly high.

What we can argue about is if AI is truly transforming lives of everyone, the answer is a no. There is a massive exaggeration of benefits. The value is not ZERO. It’s not 100. It’s somewhere in between.

For every sensational article of AI was useless, there is plenty of examples where using ChatGPT to find out what else could be happening and then having a conversation with doctor has helped many that I know of anecdotally and many such reports online as well.

At the end of the day, it’s yet another tool that people can use to help their lives. They have to use their brain. The culture of seeing doctor as a god doesn’t hold up anymore. So many people have had bad experiences when the entire health care industry at least in US is primarily a business than helping society get healthy.

Not sure if this correct. Codex was one of the first research projects long before Anthropic was started as a company. May be they did not see it as a path to AGI. It seems like coding is seen by few companies as the path to general intelligence (almost like Matrix where everything is code).

Only in HN and some reddit subs I even see the name claude. In many countries AI=ChatGPT.

Yeah. 50% of the time to throw away expensive tokens and limits is not ideal. But I bet by this time next year OSS models will be at that capability!

Is that your website or something? You keep promoting it

With the amount of hatred for anything OpenAI it’s not surprising the author chose a clickbaity title. HNs quality of posts are going down and instead of objective analysis I often see very polarized and flamy articles, titles etc.

I pay almost the same amount for youtube premium as chatgpt plus. And when I see the creators inserting their own sponsored ads I get frustrated. It stopped youtube's own ads but not the product placements and other ads by the creators.
