In my opinion, they solved the wrong problem. The main issue I have with Codex is that the best model is insanely slow, except at nights and weekends when Silicon Valley goes to bed. I don't want a faster, smaller model (already have that with GLM and MiniMax). I want a faster, better model (at least as fast as Opus).

When they partnered with Cerebras, I kind of had a gut feeling that they wouldn't be able to use their technology for larger models because Cerebras doesn't have a track record of serving models larger than GLM.

It pains me that five days before my Codex subscription ends, I have to switch to Anthropic because despite getting less quota compared to Codex, at least I'll be able to use my quota _and_ stay in the flow.

But even Codex's slowness aside, it's just not as good of an "agentic" model as Opus: here's what drove me crazy: https://x.com/OrganicGPT/status/2021462447341830582?s=20. The Codex model (gpt-5.3-xhigh) has no idea about how to call agents smh

For a bit, waiting for LLMs was like waiting for code to compile: https://xkcd.com/303/

> more than 1000 tokens per second

Perhaps, no more?

(Not to mention, if you're waiting for one LLM, sometimes it makes sense to multi-table. I think Boris from Anthropic says he runs 5 CC instances in his terminal and another 5-10 in his browser on CC web.)

Will you pay 10x the price? They didn't solve the "wrong problem". They did what they could with the resources they have.

This is interesting for offloading "tiered" workloads / priority queue with coding agents.

If 60% of the work is "edit this file with this content", or "refactor according to this abstraction" then low latency - high token inference seems like a needed improvement.

Recently someone made a Claude plugin to offload low-priority work to the Anthropic Batch API [1].

Also I expect both Nvidia and Google to deploy custom silicon for inference [2]
