Gemini 3.7 may have fast token output but holy cow does it waste it on useless output. Several times now I've given it a shot and watched it's reasoning trace go through a bunch of unnecessary / off-target steps relative to what I asked. Don't have this issue with 5.6 models. MAI Code 1.1 is also solid and fast for non-complex tasks.

Copilot and Devin. They're actually really good too.
Re: A week of using Codex more than Claude
#264I'm still using gpt-5.5 in copilot (visual studio proper) as a "custom" model. It feels like I've been enjoying an ~unpatched exploit while everyone else wallows in the proverbial mud. A large part of what pushes developers toward these products appears to be the billing model. Pre-paying for tokens is some kind of ideological red line for a lot of developers. I think this is a strategic error. The subscription model…
> Those paying $100/m+ for subscription access are almost certainly getting taken for a ride based upon my experience with prepaid tokens. I don't understand what this means. Are they overpaying and getting less? Typically "taken for a ride" means, exactly "The seller got more out of the deal than usual sellers would". Buying a burger for $3000 == "taken for a ride". Paying $30 for all you can eat != "taken for a rid…

#265Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sure, you can let politics dominate everything you do. Or you can realize that SpaceX is a massive (public) company with thousands of employees, and millions of shareholders, all of whom have their own opinions and goals, just like any other corporation. Competition is good. Excluding a leading player in the market because you don’t like Elon Musk is…something.
If politics isn’t a concern, why not just use deepseek?
You know why

It is under-utilized and not getting the attention it deserves.

It's receiving less attention than it merits

OMP is great, testify.-
jcode is a very very peculiar harness, but has some out-of-the-box thinking built in (by the devs, thinking ...)
Crush is also very well put together, and, IIRC, can do "mid turn" interruption, so can be driven from the outside.-
Re: A week of using Codex more than Claude
#270I’m sure it depends on the type of work, but for mine, Codex is much more helpful. Honestly, it mostly comes down to it being significantly faster, probably because as many have said, it seems tuned to not spit out word vomit, both in its chat interactions, and its code (Claude is obsessed with massive comment blocks that are basically guaranteed to become dead context noise if you ever use it to iterate on code). I…

I see what you did there
