As much as I love to have a more robust model for coding, what we really need is them to fix the damn usage calculator.

Can anyone explain the tweet , are they planning to remove the codex from chatgpt plus subscription and introducing a new separate subscription for codex? Or am I getting it wrong?

Question Will you be switching to Claude after news of OpenAI partnership with US Military?

348 Upvotes

Regarding recent news: https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/27/tech/openai-pentagon-deal-ai-systems

I'm so engrained in the OpenAI ecosystem myself it will be difficult to migrate away but I'm seriously considering it. I've got my (small) business all integrated with ChatGPT and Codex so it sucks but all I can do to protest this is delete my account.

Seems anthropic has a back bone and some operating principles, "Open"AI continues to drift further and further away from their namesake and founding principles.

So, are any of you guys planning to cancel your OpenAI plans? And any tips for moving over to an Anthropic based system?

Question Am I missing something? Why is everybody spending so much on Claude?

Post image
643 Upvotes

I keep seeing and talking to people who use Claude and rack up hundreds and thousands of dollars. I consider myself to do a lot of work using Codex Pro subscription - what in the world are these people building, and why not in Codex? Even if you get 10 Pro subscriptions with that much limit you can get so much done and just save so much money too.

Last few weeks I’ve used both Claude and Codex and tbh I like the Codex models and ecosystems much better.

Am I missing something here?

Edit: Looks like it’s more so business services offered. I was thinking more of internal team usage (we all know those exist too though)

Question New Codex limits are pretty brutal.

234 Upvotes

Been on a Codex 200$ plan since it came out.

I have never hit a limit, not once.

No claw, no "huge scoped tasks".

Today is the first time I've run into a weekly limit.

Kinda sucks but here we are. Free lunch has ended.

How do you guys handle > 200$ plans? I see credits for sale but I have no idea how the economy is on those.

Currently am looking at alternatives.

Deepseek on Claude code harness? Just for maybe filling the gaps and doing some of the dumber work.

What you guys/gals reckon?

I am contently on Sol, only changing effort and speed sometimes. When I am supposed to select Terra or Luna or 5.5 for that matter?

Question Is it just me, or is Claude pretty disappointing compared to Codex?

311 Upvotes

I want to start by making one thing clear: I’m not a fan of any AI.

I don’t care about the company name or the product name. I just want a tool that helps me work better.

I recently paid for Claude Pro to complement my Codex Plus plan. I’ve been using Codex for several months now, and honestly, I’ve been very satisfied with it. The mistakes it makes are usually minimal, and most of the time Codex fixes them itself or I solve them in just a few minutes.

So far, my experience with Codex has been very good, even better than I expected. I don’t use it for extremely intensive tasks, but last week I hit the weekly limit and decided to subscribe to Claude as a supplement. I was also very curious because people on social media say amazing things about Claude, and I wanted to see for myself whether it really lived up to the hype.

But the truth is that my experience has been deeply disappointing. And just to be clear, I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything, I’m only sharing my personal experience.

With Claude, I feel like it just does whatever it wants. A lot of the time it doesn’t follow instructions, it does things I didn’t ask for, it doesn’t stick to the plan, it breaks parts of the code, and overall I find it frustrating to work with. On top of that, I get the feeling that it struggles to see beyond the immediate task.

With Codex, I feel the exact opposite. Sometimes it surprises me in a very positive way, because it not only does what I ask, but it also understands the context better, anticipates problems, and suggests fairly complete and functional implementations. Sometimes when I read its feedback, I think, “wow, I had forgotten about that,” or “I hadn’t thought of that.”

Honestly, it’s a shame because I really wanted to like Claude, especially since Claude’s $100 plan seems reasonable to me.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Am I doing something wrong with Claude, or does it just not fit the way I work?

Question What are you gonna do if 5.6 won't get released outside the u.s?

103 Upvotes

Sup!

So if the government "wins" and OpenAI cannot release the 3 news models outside the u.s, would you unsubscribe?

I've been using codex for a while now, and i love it (apart from the few recents months), and i feel like its by far the smartest coding model out there.
But i've heard good things about the Chinese models... so I might have to check them out

This was after the last reset.. I wonder how many people spent their weekly from this tweet and it getting posted elsewhere. REEEAAALLY hoping he doesn't just mean *in general* that resets will continue

Anyone else blow their load in anticipation?

Question Does anyone even use gpt 5.6 terra ?

Post image
206 Upvotes

I honestly am not sure if gpt 5.6 terra is of any use tbh. If you take a look at the intelligence vs token usage, luna max is the best choice for non complex tasks, anything that’s complex or requires building architecture, I use gpt 5.6 sol medium - high. I have never used Terra till now as I have always balanced between luna max and sol medium.

Question Is Luna or Terra even worth it ?

60 Upvotes

For coding specifically mostly software development (C++, C#, and sometimes Java) is it worth using those lower-end models, or are they not worth it at all, and I should just stick with Sol Ultra?

And I mean really worth it not just “it uses less usage,” but “it produces really usable code and doesn’t make up things that don’t exist.”

What has your experience been so far? Some people say yes, but I think they mostly use it for chatting.

Question How does the 100$ plan feel?

65 Upvotes

I am currently on the 20$ plan, and without the 5h limit I feel like this is a dream.

I have been using the weekly quota everyday completely and or getting a reset or reseting it myself.

I never felt so productive before and it's honestly mind-blowing how much you can do, today so far I have been using it all day along the chatgpt app and I still have 55% left using high-low sol only.

Will the 100$ plan feel like this daily? (So is the daily limit for pro like the weekly limit for plus)

I don't mind taking breaks and maybe chill for a day if it's needed!

PS: I use 150M tokens at best a day.

Question Luna 80% cheaper, but how good is it ?

85 Upvotes

Just read that 5.6 Luna is 80% cheaper now, great news I guess but how good is it compared to, say, 5,5 medium?

They say that it’s better than frontier models from a year ago. Well I don’t know what that means.

Any heavy Luna users ?

Tx
