@jun_song You should ask AI if it is

Seems like AI has become the most important thing in many people's lives. I'm the same. I think about AI all day long. Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

@HealthRanger Love deepseek its so good but also trust codex more maybe it’s just a data thing

VERDICT after many hours of vibe coding, bug fixing and testing: Qwen 3.6 27b - Outstanding for its size. A workhorse model. For many tasks (like document normalization), turn off thinking and it screams with speed and accuracy. I don't use it for coding, however. Kimi K2.6 - Highly-capable coding model. Very efficient thinking tokens. Has its own Kimi harness that's excellent. Very usable, very affordable. Replaces Claude for most tasks. Also good at local admin tasks. DeepSeek V4 - Outstanding at bug-fixing. Sometimes over-thinks and spits out lots of tokens but it's so inexpensive, nobody cares. Solid at coding, and the real bonus is the 1M context window that's native to the model. DeepSeek has made this model so cheap, it almost feels free. You can code all day long for a dollar... All three models are outstanding in their own way. I use all three daily now, for different things. My Claude usage has dropped by 90%, and I'm still getting everything done that I need to. What do all these LLMs have in common? They're all FROM CHINA. China is winning the AI race and the inference race. And the open source race, and the energy grid race, etc.

@Layton_Gott As in I would pick gpt 5.5 over Claude as Claude destroyed so much I can’t trust another anthropic product.

@Layton_Gott 5.5 can’t trust Claude ever again

I'm sick of AI influencers posting "Opus 4.7 is better" or "GPT-5.5 wins" while their sponsors pay them to say it... So I have a real question with no money attached: If you HAD to pick one for coding in 2026, which? → Opus 4.7 → GPT-5.5 Why? If you can't tell me why, you're just going with whatever the newest "best" model is.

@RealBlackIrish I have 8 and it’s great

I never wanted children until I was 42. I now have four, and honestly I wish I had eight. Having children is the only thing that matters in life. It’s the only thing that’s real. The rest is bullshit.

@AtlasScope @thsottiaux Yes this

@thsottiaux Add a feature like dispatch. If I can leave Codex open on a desktop and send commands from my phone, I’d feel invincible. Also Claude still has slight edge in front-end design but the gap has closed with 5.5.

What are we obviously not getting right with Codex?

@thsottiaux An easy fix let us color code our tabs with the main window a subdued color matching that way we never put commands in wrong windows and saves you guys compute a win win

@ItsAlexhere0 Yes it’s going well

Anyone here fully moved over from Claude Code to Codex?

@cjzafir That’s the same as my list. Exactly. It’s just so clear now where they are. It’s a great time to be alive

Best models right now: 1st > GPT 5.5 (extra high) 2nd > Deepseek v4 pro (think max) 3rd > GPT 5.4 (extra high) 4th > Claude Opus 4.6 (extra high) 5th > Gemini 3.1 pro (thinking) 6th > Kimi 2.6 (thinking) 7th > GLM 5.1 (thinking) 8th > MiMo v2.5 pro 9th > Qwen 3.6 max (thinking) 10th > Claude Sonnet 4.6 (high) PS: Yes no Opus 4.7 because it's very unstable, unpredictable and nerfed model right now.

@ThoughtfulSaint @Mormonger @realDailyWire @RealMattFradd The funny thing was @realDailyWire had lots of LDS subscribers. I even fell for it.

During the latest @realDailyWire staff meeting DW: “Dang, we just had to lay off half our employees due to falling view and subscriber counts, what should we do?” @RealMattFradd : “How about I take another giant Australian crap all over the Christ centered faith of the most family oriented pro social conservative group in America” DW: “I LOVE IT!” (PS… Matt I would be happy to come on your show)

@LeaderJohnThune Pass the SAVE act or shut up

Protecting our borders and deporting criminal illegal aliens are essential components of our country’s security. Unfortunately, Democrats don’t agree. Republicans will continue to work to ensure that our borders are secure and that dangerous criminals are not on our streets.

@MrsErikaKirk Yes he did. We miss him.

My husband set the standard.

@ItsAlexhere0 And I’d add DeepSeek > Codex (right now)

Unpopular Opinion: CODEX > Claude Code Feels pretty obvious at this point

@jun_song Surprisingly DeepSeek

Ngl, which model release are you waiting for the most right now?

Codex had me going in circles. Claude destroyed the project on deployment day. Deepseek found the error for 1 cent and then I got Codex to write the fix. I think DeepSeek may be a winner.

@pcshipp Surprisingly deepseek for me

Which LLM is best for frontend development right now? - GPT 5.5 - Opus 4.7 - Gemini 3.1 pro

How many of us questioned ourselves these last few weeks?

@hiarun02 It’s long gone for me. Codex and surprisingly DeepSeek 4. Work well together

Anyone cancelled Claude Code for Codex yet? Feels like dev's are switching not because Codex is better. but because it’s cheaper to actually get work done. What’s your experience?

At this rate, I'm no longer going to order the M5 Mac Studio

@positivecarry88 Bullet proof self driving awesomeness

Why do people actually buy the Tesla Cybertruck… be honest
