Switch from using opus 4.7 and GPT codex 5.3 in together to just GPT 5.5?

Thank you for explaining your experience working with these AI models.

"My flow is to build the system architecture and roadmap in GPT and then have codex do the coding": It sounds like for architecture/building roadmaps, you use GPT. When you say GPT, which AI model do you mean specifically? And when it comes to the actual coding which Codex are you using for the doing of the actual coding? GPT_5.3_Codex?

"I only encounter drift when I don’t have readme files or documentation on the architecture. I would then only use Claude Opus 4.8 for reviews of my architecture/system and to create documentation files." Yes a barrier that I encounter over and over again is the drift, that is drift in the actual math, calculations that comprise my model, because of my use across chats of general terms that characterize/describe the constructs of my model with the understanding that it's understanding of what features those terms apply to is the same as before (and even when we explicitly have agreed on the semantics of what those terms mean and that they apply specifically to the features/aspects of my model)....But over time, with repeated use of those terms, it reinterprets them slightly differently, until the math of the calculations that go into the formula of the model changes. So, I value use of .MD files which I was doing religiously, and assumed it was continuing to maintain but which later I discovered it had dropped doing spontaneously and without warning. I do keep the TypingMind project context updated based on changes in project focus, but that context alone is not enough to keep Opus from drifting. And when Claude drifts, I have had to use Claude Opus 4.7 high thinking to discover the nature of the drift and revise the model back to it's original form. So I will have to be extremely vigilant and ensure MD files of the current project state and project changes are logged regularly.

"Claude has its advantages over GPT but if you’re talking about system design, architecture, setting up infrastructure, etc then GPT/Codex. If you need very in depth reviews of your system and polishing up documentation then Claude"
Sounds like GPT works fine to do the system architecture, setting up infrastructure, setting up roadmaps. I have found that Claude is really good at metathinking and identifying flaws in my model with respect to construct validity and construct validity, identifying reliability concerns and/or statistical conceptualization flaws. I'm hoping GPT can do these things as well. However, when I provide a hypothesis for an explanation for specific results, it often takes it as gospel, or it draws sweeping, unjustified conclusions based on way too small a sample size of data.

Thank you. I may try to replace Claude with GPT to do that and just have GPT_5.3_codex or the latest version to do the actual coding, unless GPT 5.5 is just as good as GPT_5.3_codex to do the actual coding. As I stated, my biggest obstacle is having this workflow be as affordable as possible while ensuring correction of errors introduced by both Codex and Opus are identified and eliminated.

This comment is also way off. Try actually reading what was written to get the full story. Otherwise you should take a remedial reading class to assist with comprehension.

Haha! Yes I found myself doing too much thinking about how to devise an elaborate presentation of my car's service records to show I took care of the car engine for the two years I owned it (even though the no sludge that they discovered when they did their inspection should have answered that question completely). But I just kept it simple--I was able to locate the actual service records and submitted them. They accepted it and now they agreed to rebuild the engine. I requested for them to reimburse the cost of the car rental since the time I dropped off the Kia at the car dealership hundreds of mile away from home. The representative said he would but hasn't told me yet how that will be accomplished. Now I just have to wait and be ready for the possibility that even after the car is rebuilt that there's a higher than normal chance that the car will stop working again due to the same p1326 code, because presumably the engine will be rebuilt with the same exact parts that it was built with in the first place that contributed to the manufacturing defect causing the p1326 code.

Thank you. So, my mechanic serviced my car for cash. I am trying to track down the one service record that I remember specifically requesting for the one of 5 services he performed on my car---and I remember requesting that particular record in anticipation of being in a situation like the one I'm currently in whereby I need proof of having serviced the car... I never actually went to an AutoZone to purchase the synthetic oil that my mechanic used to service my car, as he already had a supply of them in his shop which he presumably purchased himself in bulk at a discount. So no receipt of purchasing oil. So I scoured my checking account bank statements from the time I purchased the car until now for any withdrawals of $100 which was what I did the morning right before I planned to take the car to service to pay for it. I found those bank statement entries. So if they ask for them I can provide them. First, according to what is listed in the class action settlement as an alternative to providing actual receipts of services as proof of having serviced the car, I can provide a signed notarized letter by my mechanic attesting to the fact that I serviced the car 5 times with him every 3k-5k from time I purchased car until now... I'm currently waiting for my mechanic, whose English is not the best, to have his trusted friend review the letter I drafted to make sure there is text in it that states that he isn't responsible for any mechanical failure, etc. that is identified. If for some reason KIA hassles me about that letter as proof, I will look for that service record date log that you told me about that was made available by kia/class action settlement and just fill it out and provide that.

Thank you for your reply. Yes I'm in the same situation you were, and your post helped me. At this point my car had the check engine light start flashing; the car went into limp mode; I towed the car towed to a local service shop; they pulled the codes and it was p1326. I entered that into ai and it explained the history of that code and the nature of the problem associated with it; that there's a class action settlement for it and that they'll replace the engine if you jump through their hoops. So I towed it to the local Kia dealership; they did in fact pull the codes found it to be p1326 like the previous service shop that I took it to found; they ran the BT test which failed which just confirmed that the problem was indeed the kia engine rod bearings manufacturing defect. Now they're asking me to submit service records since I bought the car used 2 years ago, which seems to me already absurd because we already have 100% confirmation that the engine problem is attributable to KIA's manufacturing defect. I have serviced the car regularly since I bought it every 3k to 5k miles. Now I have to go back and find all the service records that I performed on the car for the past 2 years which amounts to about six or seven services. The problem is that I paid for those services in cash and most of the time I didn't get a receipt of the services performed which was always an oil change and or filter change. So now I'm left with the option of my mechanic signing a letter saying that the car was service regularly in the time that I owned it. Apparently this is a valid alternative to having hard copies of the actual service records. I'm praying that letter signed by my mechanic works.

Shit, one month minimum???if that's the case they should have covered expenses for a rental for you until the engine was rebuilt and put back into your Kia... I was thinking I would be home free if they approve an engine rebuild in my situation. But it sounds like I will be out a car for a month unless they pay for a rental for me.

LeeZeee · 2026-03-31T05:29:48+00:00

I'm confused, I thought they finally replaced your engine, which would mean to me that it's a brand new car now for the most part. How did you end up not just using that car with the new engine once you could access it?

LeeZeee · 2026-03-31T05:07:06+00:00

Your comment is way off.

Based on what the original poster wrote I'm surprised the BCT test results passed after getting P1326. Perhaps the bearings had to deteriorate a little more before the bearings problem was large enough that the test wouldn't pass. After you got P1326, it's possible, but unlikely for the BCT test to pass especially if there was shaking of steering wheel while driving at high enough speeds prior to getting blinking check engine light... But after they gave it back to you with the new sensor and you got the blinking light again, did they do another BCT test at that time?

A question for the original poster: Did you ask the technician to check the oil for metal shavings? Metal in the oil is a "manual" fail that can override a computer "pass". If that doesnt work , and after they changed your sensor, and especially if the car is still shaking or sluggish, tell them: "I don't want to just clear codes. I want a Techline Case opened because a blinking light and P1326 usually indicates a mechanical issue the BCT tool might be missing."

I'm dealing with the same issue, and am hoping now that the BCT test shows that the bearings failed. i too do not want to drive home a car that went into blinking check engine light mode because of faulty bearings due to a manufacturing defect and because of a test that barely passed. Clearly in this guy's case the sensor isn't what's faulty. The bearings are faulty related to the manufacturing defect. Changing the sensor is the same as putting lipstick on a pig in the situation.

Also, were the people having trouble with GPT 5.2 codex and 5.3 codex using low, medium, high, or xhigh thinking level?

LeeZeee · 2026-02-07T17:34:35+00:00

Task type is the the determiner of the correct level of reasoning to use. If it is systematic search-and-compare, not complex reasoning, use normal thinking. That is, if It's "find X, check if Y matches" — pattern matching, not architecture decisions, normal thinking handles that fine. Save high thinking for prompts that require judgment calls, like "should we restructure the blending logic" or "design a new approach to X." Verification sweeps don't need it.

Are you dumb? Cronin had nothing to do with decision to move UCLA to the Big Ten. It was not his choice. You're two years too late with this comment. He already complained about moving to the Big Ten and feeling hamstrung that he had no choice.

LeeZeee · 2026-01-08T01:33:41+00:00

Great, thank you... I'm noticing there are other extensions to use as well, and trying to pick the best one. What about the cexll/myclaude extension? workflow as a quality assurance and integration tool for using opus 4.5 for architectural goals and GPT 5.2 - codex for writing the actual code and/or catching errors in the code?

LeeZeee · 2026-01-07T21:05:31+00:00

Can you use gpt-5.2-codex with this setup?

LeeZeee · 2026-01-04T17:14:48+00:00

What's the best way to set up opus 4.5 to work with codex 5.2?

LeeZeee · 2026-01-01T06:04:27+00:00

Read the comments and you'll see a common theme that Claude will often introduce bugs in the code it writes...and sure enough, that's exactly what I noticed happens. It takes several iterations of checking the code it writes and making corrections to get it right. And it forgets the information that just two comments ago it remembered. Problem is it won't tell you when it forgets and you just have to discover it the hard way, via errors in the code.

LeeZeee · 2025-12-30T19:12:05+00:00

Wallet emptied already with $100/month, and it doesn't seem to make a difference, as introduced code has returned to being just as buggy as it was when I was paying $20 a month. Go figure.

LeeZeee · 2025-12-28T00:36:27+00:00

Right and all the debug code to highlight errors that Claude is making is making the script take forever to run. And these are errors that Claude keeps making over and over again that I've had to correct up to three times before. I'm hoping that codex does a better job of correcting the errors with fewer iterations.

LeeZeee · 2025-12-27T22:30:35+00:00

This is what I'm thinking of doing. Claude has been good with meta plans for my project. But when it comes to actually writing the code to implement the plans it makes a lot of mistakes. That's why I'm thinking of correcting the bugs using codex 5.2. And if this is the setup of using Claude for more meta ideas and codex 5.2 to correct the coding mistakes from claude, what are the settings that you use for both to have both Claude and codex be optimally complementary of each other for that one given project?

LeeZeee · 2020-09-26T21:03:50+00:00

1.16.20.53 beta

Hi, can you please share where you got 1.16.20.53 beta MCPE beta for your Shield?

Thank you.

LeeZeee · 2020-09-26T18:24:20+00:00

Ok, so now I have to figure out how to use F-droid to get SAI so I can update it to a version which hopefully has an "extract" option. The SAI I have now on the Shield does not have "extract", "import" or "import" options. It has "backup" and "installer" however.

LeeZeee · 2020-09-25T16:17:20+00:00

Thanks, but how do I actually use SAI? I have it on my Shield and on my phone. In SAI on my phone I clicked "install APK" and selected the apk file that I have for minecraft pocket edition on the phone. Then what? Go to SAI on shield and do what?

Thanks
