Claude Code vs. Codex
People are comparing Claude Code to Codex, noting differences in speed, token usage, and problem-solving approaches, with some finding Codex to be smarter but more resource-intensive.
if codex (the model) is so good why is codex (the tui) so much worse than claude code
Claude Code and Codex I won't explain https://t.co/NcSXiU14CV
Slower yes, eats tokens like crazy, but Codex 5.2 is the smartest model I've used so far. Will run for an extended time but it will come with a solution. Claude Code takes shortcuts and fast but not as smart.
