BTW, I've basically stopped using Opus entirely and I now have several Codex tabs with GPT-5-high working on different tasks across the 3 codebases (HVM, Bend, Kolmo). Progress has never been so intense. My job now is basically passing well-specified tasks to Codex, and reviewing its outputs. OpenAI isn't paying me and couldn't care less about me. This model is just very good and the fact people can't see it made me realize most of you are probably using chatbots as girlfriends or something other than assisting with complex coding tasks
