Not so much a reply to the post, as a comment on the comments in this post. It's starting to feel like a lot of comments on here and other social media outlets that are anecdotal about their experience with x model and y tool are astroturfing. They add almost zero value to the conversation. These is a multi-billion dollar market and battleground, so im skeptical of anyone telling me that this isn't happening at a dec…

more folks should be skeptical

I found GPT 5.4 terrible. I just tested 5.5 and compared with opus its still not great.

What I found was that I *strongly* preferred Claude Code with its defaults. Codex was almost unusable to me -- It would spit out a 4-5 page plan where it kept repeating itself, where Claude would give me a crisp 1-2 pager I could actually review. *But* I don't work with the defaults -- I work with my own prompt framework based off of superpowers. Given sufficient prompt scaffolding, I've found the models relatively i…

The problem I ran into was, using the workflow I use with claude, the code that being written wasn't good, missing edged cases, incomplete.

After reviewing the code, I also found it was annoying to get GPT 5.4 to actually fix the code based on my prompts compared with opus. I had to be far more specific and direct (which is related then to missing edge cases, complete, etc).

In what harness?

codex. codex is also pretty garbage compared with claude code. The permissioning system in claude code with auto mode is now pretty fantastic. With codex the only vaugely usable mode is yolo mode which is bad for obvious reasons.

So Claude decided to take the rest of the day off without notice or giving a scheduled time off? Many such cases with humans (given that we continue to compare LLMs to humans these days which you cannot)

Introducing: Claude AWOL

You too can avoid Claude AWOL by subscribing to our premium package, Claude VACATION. Claude will show up on time, and give you at least one months notice before any outages.

well apparently Dario did the same thing with Mythos - ethics for the big AI labs is mainly posturing

I wish palantir had their own model. Now that's a business I can get behind. Until then I have to use grok I guess.

At least palantir is open about their villainy I guess, they make no attempts to pull the wool over your eyes. So you at least know that you are for sure getting in bed with the bad guys if you go with them

I have max plans for both and over the past 5+ months now have built a custom "agent swarm" orchestrator with a database backed API and several skills CLI that the agents use to deliver orchestrated software factory runs. We can use several different topologies (2 or 3 agents, etc.) but currently primarily use pair programming teams consisting of an opus4.7 for implementation and a codex5.5 for plan and code reviews,…

Yea, I'm similar I think in that Claude has better style/architecture/design, while Codex is a more critical reviewer, but also writes more complex code that just works not caring as much about the bigger picture - together they work pretty well. I don't run any swarms though, I could easily see them ping/pong on the most simple feature almost endlessly if I let them. How do you review all the code being generated?

It's a lot to review since adding the AI workflows, but bottom line is I'm not in a race, I've been working on the same repo since 2019 and I generally don't add too much at once and just take my time. But, I'll admit, I'm a lot more careful about backend schema, services, testing, API design, CLI design, etc., while not being too overly worried about frontend items. This particular long run was focused on building frontend UI for backend that has been painstakingly built. This time, I used the claude.ai/design for a large amount of UI planning for a backend that is ready for it. Then I just let the swarm handle it with our orchestration tool, since it's frontend. Then, just test it in the browser and iterate on what needs changed.

i think they broke billing for new api users - I just signed up yesterday for the api and am a max customer. Even though i paid and waited 24 hours, I am unable to access claude api at all and never used any of the banned bots on the account.

- API key auth works (/v1/models returns full list) - Console shows $20 credit balance - Spend limit is $100/month, $0 used - Two different API keys generated in this org both fail with same error, I only have 1 org.

There was another thread where some people pointed out, Amazon will give you access to Claude with better uptime for the same price (per million tokens up / down), downside is, it does not have the native ability to browse the web, but maybe that's a hidden blessing, since it's less likely to read some random website that has prompt injection embedded into it. For coding its fine, I havent experimented too much with…

But that's just paying per use right, not with the subscription which is way better value

Correct, but in the case that they brought it up, their employer was on a enterprise license, which is still pay per token. The subscription will eventually go away in some way, or cost way more than it does.

"I should vote for Hitler, at least he's open about his villainy", such nonsense argument. People can have ethics, that's a real thing.
