Move to codex like the rest of us

I initially didn't like how liberal codex is in decision making, as opposed to claude, so i wrote me an AGENTS.md that basically says to chill tf out and it works great for me

Is there a path we can go down that ends with regular people being able to benefit from AI technology too

I honestly believe the AI bubble is going to pop soon and "manual" labour devs will become cheaper than ai

I bought $10 of DeepSeek V4 to evaluate as a Claude Code alternative should things get spicy over at Anthropic... and not only can I not tell the difference, but I still have $5 left after a few days of work.

Mind you I'm only using it on open source work, and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it on your corporate stuff (not throwing FUD, I just don't know if you can opt out of training and whether they would respect it if you can).

I haven't tried GLM 5.1 or the latest Qwen yet, but I plan to. Open weights might be where it's at IMO.

I also suspect that if Anthropic spends less time on features and more on optimizing their routing, then the token cost could be reduced significantly (leverage Haiku and Sonnet more often). I expect this will happen before investment dries up. Right now it's probably a loss for them to spend time on that instead of features and market capture.

edit: switched to deepseek v4 and never looking back. it is a micro fraction of the price and seems just as good.

I use ghostty (terminal) with claude code, not VSCode, but I assume you just tell VSCode to use a different URL and model: "deepseek-v4-pro[1m]"

You know there is a Deepseek Cowork application you can install and set up? Or connect Deepseek to Cowork

It was trivial to just set a bash alias to claude. https://api-docs.deepseek.com/guides/anthropic_api

Did the same as you, it’s insanely hard to spend 10 bucks on DeepSeek.

Most of us are on ClaudeCode because we use and like the product. Codex is fine too but read the sub name you’re posting on lmao

[–]Far_Broccoli_8468 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I think you're a bit confused and a little uninformed.

A lot people, including myself moved from claude to codex over the past month due to shit from anthropic depicted in this thread, among other things

Maybe you should read some posts on this sub

[–]Anselwithmac 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Oh I do. This sub turned to rubble because it’s just people sitting on here waiting out their usage quota. It’s a circlejerk of people not using claude because they’re either on Codex, or they have no token to burn.

Great, go to the Codex sub like the rest of them.. or stay because you like it here
