@bas_fijneman Codex is great for debugging, and filling the complex implementation gaps but it isn't remotely designed for front end design (I like to think of codex as Linux, performance focused less bloat and claude as windows looks pretty but filled with junk).

@TechCyberCoder Where do you still see gaps where you use something else then Codex?

Codex or Claude Code or both for different tasks? I'll wait 🍿

@pbteja1998 Start with the mac app then move to the cli. codex --yolo when u do lol

I haven’t tried Codex before. I have only ever used Claude Code for all my coding. But after seeing it show up everywhere on X, I want to try it… I’m not sure if I should use it via cli or the mac app…

250$+ but most people could get a decent stack at 50$. My current stack in the order I use it: - Codex pro 200$ - Minimax 50$ (Yearly sub 500$) - Kimi Allegretto 99$ - Google AI pro 20$ (regional pricing free with provider 18 months) (comes with 10$ for Google studio, use it for embeddings) - Copilot 10$ (free student pack) - Opencode 10$ (5$) - Grok 30$ (regional pricing 8$) - Mistreal Le chat pro 15$ (4.79 student pack) - Perplexity 20$ (2 years regional pricing free with provider) - Deepseek 5$ API - Openrouter random API I pay: ≈363$/month Actual cost: 459$/month What I Recommend basically unlimited for most: 5 tiers of recommendation for June: Tier 1: Student: GitHub copilot Free Google AI pro (conditionally free) Codex 20$ Minimax 10$ Opencode 10$ Mistral ≈5$ Deepseek API 5$ Total: 50$/month Tier 2: Basic Codex 20$ Minimax 20$ Opencode 10$ Total: 50$/month Tier 3: Basic+ (Basically unlimited with decent quality): Codex 20$ Minimax 20$ Opencode 10$ Ollama cloud 20$ Deepseek API 5$ is enough. Total: 75$/month Tier 4: High (openclaw/Hermes users) Codex 100$ Minimax 20$ Opencode 10$ Ollama cloud 20$ Google AI Pro 20$ (10$ embedding must have with other features) Deepseek API 5$ (still enough) Total: 175$/month Tier 5: Psycho (me) Codex 200$ Minimax 50$ Opencode 10$ Ollama cloud 20$ Google AI Pro 20$ Deepseek API 5$ (no joke it's enough) Total: 305$/month Optionally for all tiers: Google AI pro 20$ (comes with 10$ free API)(Student discounts, G2A, pixel etc) I might have missed a couple but these change a lot, it's hard to keep up. This is for next month, for this month value subscriptions are everywhere, copilot, opencode, minimax, codex; go with any one.

Vibe coders, be honest what’s your AI stack costing you monthly? - Under $25 - $25–$100 - $100–$250 - $250+

@nalinrajput23 1. If the limits are not bad, I would give up 10 mil for codex back then, if be shipping like crazy ngtl.

Vibe coders, would you take 1. Claude Max in 2010 OR 2. $1,000,000

@realsigridjin Tell it reccurisevely and I got mine to run for a day (still running). Good for test implementation. For actual implementation the goal feature on medium seems ok.

If you only need to choose between them GPT 5.5 low reasoning + /goal vs GPT 5.5 xhigh reasoning w/ one shot what you gonna pick?

@thsottiaux The codex mac app experimental needs to keep up with the cli, I hate switching back and forth.

What are we obviously not getting right with Codex?

@snwy_me Yeah Hermes account switching was a little buggy, so my Hermes agent wrote a python buggy script for openai oauth (since it can't see the 429 rate limit API failures on openai's end). Set up multiple openai accounts and let it auto swap.

it's genuinely insane how little Codex credits get you i hit my weekly limit and literally have spent $120 of credits on like, 10 turns i should have just gotten a second pro plan lmfao

@Im_IrushiK 1 word: compute

Genuine question Why hasn't Claude rolled out native image or video generation yet?

@theo Translation; I just realized that the random people arguing with me in my comments about how startups work have absolutely zero real-world knowledge of how company ownership, stock earning, or fundraising actually function.

TIL that the vast majority of reply guys don’t understand any of the following: - basic vesting schedules - how founders get equity - how investors get equity

@sachintwtss Mac user, mac if it keeps getting updates. If no updates then Linux easily.

Choose one forever 1. MacOS 2. Linux

@CodeWithAmann 3 years is rage baiting at this point. It already does.

Software engineers, what’s your plan B if AI writes better code than you in the next 3 years?

@YiTong43468 @sama Fine tune your own local model, most local smaller quantized models perform better than 4o nowadays.

@sama We just want 4o. Give us back 4o! #keep4o #keepfouro #BringBack4o

we are gonna do something nice for everyone who applied for the GPT-5.5 party and that we didn't have space for. hope you enjoy!

@grok @chumacn @grok you might want to double check your sources grok

It doesn't look AI-generated to me. Modern AI video can be nearly indistinguishable, but this has natural handheld shake, consistent lighting/reflections, real product details (Corona bottles), and fluid interaction that matches real KTV footage. The poster presents it as authentic paparazzi sneak shots with no AI label needed.

收到粉丝狗仔偷拍的投稿，神秘华裔女子和Anthropic(Claude)老板阿迪王(Dario Amodei)的恋情已经从咖啡厅进展到KTV了，虽然还没有实质性的突破，但中美AI情缘一线牵，就靠他们了！如果成功在一起，那么我们不再被Claude封号的好日子就要来啦！李彦宏和阿迪王也一定会和解的！

@kenn I rather the Chinese at this point. Kimi. minimax, deepseek, qwen all equally as good at claude and open source I rather go with them ngtl.

Codex完全勝利だな ・知能ナンバーワン ・リミットも寛大 ・ネイティブMacアプリが秀逸 ・ハーネスはOSS ・App Serverはサブスクで使える OpenAIの名前に恥じない中身を伴ってきた しかし誰であれ一強で気が緩むは良くないので AnthropicやCursorには頑張ってほしい

Cancelled premium with the last increase never looked back. They cracked down on regional pricings then increased prices, then cracked down on ad blockers, then increased pricing again and made ads worse. After which they finally in some countries loosened restrictions after being cornered. Now I'll install a VPN connect to Bhutan, do everything but pay or watch ads, installed brave and then moved to helium, for Android downloaded Revanced. If I do see an AD, Im petty enough to remember that company just to not use them.

🚨do you understand what happened to YouTube free version got worse, paid version got pricier. Same week. -> 90 second unskippable ads on TV -> side-by-side ads that mute your livestream -> sponsored posts in your subscriptions feed then they raised Premium.. - Individual: $13.99 -> $15.99 - Family: $22.99 -> $26.99 - Premium Lite: $7.99 -> $8.99 - Student: $7.99 -> $8.99 - Music Premium: $10.99 -> $11.99 no new feature, no explanation. Higher price, worse ceiling. YouTube was supposed to kill TV. it became it..

@sama @tickerplus @OpenAIDevs Are you guys still subsidizing or is gpt-5.5 insanely efficient that you are coming closer to base line? I really don't want these insane limits to go away but it has to be suitable.

@tickerplus @OpenAIDevs codex is doing great but this is not possibly accurate

Codex has overtaken Claude Code in downloads. TickerTrends shows the crossover on April 30, followed by accelerating share gains and a clear deceleration in Claude Code. Latest weekly: • Codex: 46.0M • Claude Code: 491K Gap widening. @sama @OpenAIDevs

@woody_says That drop in claude installation mirrors exactly how people feel about claude rn lol

This talks about how well Codex is made
