Original Reddit post

I know that the Opus downgrade posts are getting boring. Me myself was blown away by Opus 4.6 a few months ago at its peak, and when it started getting downgraded I subbed for Codex as well and have been using them side by side since then. Whatever I give to Opus 4.7 to do, I immediately notice how much of unnecessary code it added, how much it actually missed the point of the whole task. It spins in a loop overengineering something and totally missing the core of what it needed to do. Then I ask Codex with GPT 5.5 to review the task and the diff, and it always precisely points out how the whole point was missed and how half of the changes are total bs and what needs to be fixed. Do you guys genuinely still use Opus and find it useful? It came to a point that I’m actually considering unsubscribing, I’m keeping my sub just in-case, but Its been a long time it did something complex for me. Sonnet might be good for some lighter tasks, but Codex handles them as well, with more session limit. Its just able to handle tougher tasks as well submitted by /u/Minute-Complaint8646
