I use Codex when Claude Code is down, and I only began using Claude when ChatGPT was down
yes codex is very fast, I go back to Claude for now
Heck I prefer DeepSeek to both of those.
I was running deepseek through claude's code agent harness. Maybe it works better through a different tool?
Harness also matters, and also provider. I was using openrouter and switched to the Deepseek api and suddenly all the tool call issues I was having resolved themselves. Flash is so damn fast at doing stuff like generating boilerplate I can’t go back to the bigger slower models.
Dario and co seem to be on some elevated pedestal - us mere mortals are beneath them - and they have this scattershot devrel where each engineer has their own X way of communicating to the public often at odds with each other.
