COO switches from Claude to Codex for coding tasks

0

A COO has switched from Claude to Codex for daily coding tasks in professional use. The report notes Claude's tendency toward laziness alongside strengths in taste and context. Codex is described as more eager yet still limited in taste and contextual understanding. The commentary projects that Codex will prevail once remaining gaps close.

Honestly though - even my coo switched to using codex from Claude cowork

what? the claude app is much better than the chatgpt app

claude code mac app is very good, just as codex mac app is good

chatgpt mac app is horrific

agree multimodality at openai is better

but don’t think this is right read on anthropic.

Anthropic needs to solve the computer/power problem or they will be the Friendster of the AI era.

I just ran a semi-complicated stock screening prompt on all four major AIs: Grok, Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude.

The first three returned comparable results. Claude refused to do the work.

Not the way to win guys…

@jxnlco @PrimeIntellect wasn't release at the start of the experiment + codex had no issue getting on a loop (compare to claude for instance)

Claude is lazy, but has taste and context (no talking about 4.7 tho)

Codex is eager, but still lacks some taste and context.

Once Codex gets both, it’s over.
