What developers say about Codex on X
- “Codex feels like infinite usage compared to Claude Code. They have done a very good job cost optimising. But the models just arent nearly as good. Opus 5.5 right now is INSANE. GPT-6.1 Sol is a good daily driver though.”
- “I used Claude Code Opus 5.5 and ChatGPT Codex 6 Astra + 6.1 Sol interchangeably... Claude is far ahead of Codex when it comes to session management... Codex beats Claude by a mile here. You can basically give Codex control of your entire co”
- “昨天使用 Codex的dot 去修复，居然在云端使用了 GPT-6 Astra，并且还是 Ultra 的推理强度，下午+晚上烧光了一周的 200 额度，还额外干掉了 6,000 多点的 Credits！”
