watching trump get elected twice; you can see why americanos have no problemos with mental backflips when choosing. But you're still choosing evil when you could try local models
Will you send me an H100?
I’ve been extraordinarily productive with this, their $10 Go plan, and a rigorous spec-driven workflow. Haven’t touched Claude in 2 months. I sprinkle in some billed API usage to power my task-planner and reviewer subagents (both use GPT 5.4 now). The ability to switch models is very useful and a great learning experience. GLM, Kimi and their free models surprised me. Not the best, not perfect, but still very product…

- OR - it's about lock-in. Build the single pane of glass everyone uses. Offer it under cost. Salt the earth and kill everything else that moves. Nobody can afford to run alternative interfaces, so they die. This game is as old as time. Remember Reddit apps? Alternative Twitter clients? In a few years, CC will be the only survivor and viable option. It also kneecaps attempts to distill Opus.
It’s probably a mixture of things including direct control over how the api is called and used as pointed out above and giving a discount for using their ecosystem. They are in fact a business so it should not surprise anyone they act as one.
IMO, the web UI is a killer feature - it’s got just enough to be an agent manager - without any fluff. I run it on my remote VMs and connect over HTTP.
More than that, it's an extremely large and complex TypeScript code base — probably larger and more complex than it needs to be — and (partly as a result) it's fairly resource inefficient (often uses 1GB of RAM or more. For a TUI).
On top of that, at least I personally find the TUI to be overbearing and a little bit buggy, and the agent to be so full of features that I don't really need — also mildly buggy — that it sort of becomes hard to use and remember how everything is supposed to work and interact.
Hugely grateful for what they do.

GPT 5.4 has been the winner this week. Last week Opus 4.6. You can use both in OpenCode.
How does it compare to using GPT 5.4 inside Codex?
Open Code has been the backbone of our entire operation (we used Claude Code before it, and Cursor before that). Hugely grateful for what they do.
