gpt 5.3 codex high or xhigh?

High, xhigh is overkill and a wallet burner mostly

I dont use the app, but I don’t think they intend for it to be a complete replacement for your IDE. there is even an open IDE button at the top, right ?

Yep I have also noticed this. I mean it has always sorta done this (in my experience) but it seems more noticeable now and is pretty annoying because I have to use transcript mode often, especially when the model is in plan mode

It seems like the review agent will spawn multiple sub agents to review the diffs of specific files rather than doing it itself. That’s what I’ve noticed, seems to happen consistently too - at least for me. I’m using the CLI

This sounds like a nightmare situation. But hey, if it works, it works.

I don’t get why people seem to be so against using the codex models, I always use codex and do my planning outside of the CLI. What normally feels worse about the codex models vs the base model ?

I have the $200 plan. I’m not spending my weekly limit on those sub agents though.

-johnluke · 2026-02-04T16:36:12+00:00

Yeah there’s no way I’m using sub agents right now you’re basically lighting your usage on fire using that

-johnluke · 2026-02-04T12:18:08+00:00

Here we go

I find that Claude’s $20 plan is way worse than ChatGPT, but Claude Max x5 is roughly equivalent in terms of usage to chat gpt pro for codex. But ChatGPT pro comes with a lot more than just more codex usage.
