This actually might be the first time I’m considering a full switch to GPT, here are the reasons and they’re kinda… preliminary… and to be honest, I’m eager to hear what you think, because maybe I’m just enthusiastic right now :D
- for the first time since GPT-5, Codex doesn’t feel like “beep beep here’s the result”
- Ultra is actually awesome. I feel like ultracode / dynamic workflows are still better / more mature, BUT right now I see that using 3 sessions on 3 different features, all of them running ultra and subagents, it seems to stay within the limits
- that means: while I burn through Max 20 5h limit in 20 minutes (and I’m not judging the limits themselves yet [although I don’t like them :D ]) because Claude tends to parallelize AGGRESSIVELY, Codex is still more… defensive… running 5 subagents max (although I’ve set max_threads = 20, max_depth = 3) and more “in wall clock sync with limits” if that’s relatable Edit - adding more context: I use plans (based on customized superpowers:writing-plans), adding a “Cross-check everything again and flag open decisions” stuff, and whenever I threw them onto GPT5.5 it was like “Decision 1: Do you want the hacky way or a proper solution?” Admittedly, I’m exaggerating, but seriously, the decisions were 90% no-brainers, still the 10% not-no-brainers were really gold and worth discussing. Throwing the same plans onto Sol it’s like "Okay, here are my decisions:
- No-Brainer decision
- Another clear decision with no other viable option Two product-wise decisions I want to discuss: …" So basically it echoes the no-brainers, still allowing me to override it, and focusses on the not-so-no-brainers. Hope that’s relatable… submitted by /u/Firm_Meeting6350
