@gokulr I feel codex mac app is overall a well-made product than claude. the design, the little things like codex immediately not stopping your actual task even though you're out of limits (within fair use limits) etc. so, no wonder if you feel codex is much faster than claude.
@gokulr I have felt it too. I recently started using codex and its much faster than cc.
I always thought it was just me for whom Codex was MUCH faster than Claude Code. But today, the head of AI infra at a $10b company confirmed that Codex is indeed much faster “due to tool call speed” (his take). Claude Code team, do you know / see that CC is much slower than Codex? It “thinks” for much longer (maybe loading tools / skills?) I’m sad to say that it has really hurt my usage of CC, and I almost dread using it because it just takes too much time compared to the same query in Codex.
Just to clarify, the comparison is Mac Desktop App vs Mac Desktop App
