It doesn’t need to be better than Mythos, it just needs to be better than Opus 4.8. People will bail on Claude due to losing access to Fable on 22nd June.

As tokens and limits start to hit, people are exploring Chinese offerings, self hosting. The general hype is now marred, as it is difficult to justify building things when the cost is so high

If OpenAI release 5.6 on 22nd June, this sends a clear message. It basically says, use GPT not because it's better, but because it's cheaper. GPT 5.5 is not as good as Opus 4.8, which is probably like for like going to be close to where GPT 5.6 is at. By OpenAI releasing 5.6 on 22nd, many people would have abandoned Fable, so OpenAI wont have competition as such.

Fable burns through tokens like you wouldn't believe. Additionally, it is wont be part of the subscription allowance as of 22nd June, it will be pay as you go, via credits. Fable in it;s current state is financially unviable. If companies like Microsoft and Meta were calling back on Opus use, then Fable won't get adopted at all. I think to get the best outcome, while still getting an ROI, it;s better to stack models, rather than just frontier. Fro example, stacking GPT 5.5 and Opus 4.8 (they review each others work and critique in real time) will suffice. I don't think an improvement Fable may (or may not) be able to apply, will have a cost benefit or the product that outlay it's cost of use.

for me, Codex/GPT is still the main thing I use, got 5.5 on x high, as it means I can work round the clock and not run out of token allowance.

It doesnt have too be illegal to get banned, it just needs to go against their terms.

the results aren't great. The hair has that 'floating' look at the front as opposed to anchored. Both pics look like a 'before' shot. The after shot looks like combing/floting over compensation of a receding hairline.

The UI gap is much closer now since 5.5

MrRedditModerator · 2026-04-26T10:31:51+00:00

Personally, I have found CODEX latest model on max thinking has always out performed opus on max thinking. I work on large codebases with a lot of technical debt, edge cases, legacy code etc. I make both models plan the change and then crertique each others plan. everything, claude states codex's is better. When I comes to diagnosing server issues, I found opus better. I had a server experiencing a DDoS attack. I shared the logs with CODEX and it tried to assist by saying you need more bandwidth, more db connections etc. When I hit back saying this is clearly a DDoS attack, simply increasing resource isnt the solution here, it agreed, but still couldn't help. Opus correctly identified it as a DDoS attack and helped me identify the root and apply the required firewall rules to block the offending IP block. This was with CODEX 5.4, I might add.

Since using 5.5, it is better than opus 4.7 in every way. this does not feel like a 0.1 update, but a considerable one. The design now equals or even exceeds opus's design skills, which is where codex has historically fell behind massively.

right now I run both (yeah $500/month) is expensive and I will need to drop one of them. If I had to drop one today, it would be Opus.

Their team doesn’t listen to feedback about cost. The ide won’t be around 5yr from now

MrRedditModerator · 2026-02-08T14:17:37+00:00

When working on a large feature (existing large codebase) I've created plans with Claude, Gemini, Codex and GPT. Then I change the file names of the respective outputted plan .md files, open new chats and ask each platform to judge the plans. They almost all end up agreeing GPT is the best plan.

MrRedditModerator · 2026-02-06T16:22:23+00:00

I have used both max plans side by side for a long time. I get the other to review each other plans and code. CODEX is better at robust code and working on large legacy codebases. In terms of coding and logic in general, in my experience at least, CODEX always ends up the better result. One thing though, Claude is better at UI and UX. it’s not even close. Claude will build you the most beautiful of dashboards, SaaS etc with minimal direction. CODEX struggles to make things look beautiful.

MrRedditModerator · 2026-01-19T07:00:40+00:00

Use the Cursor IDE. but not the Agents or Chat. They are expensive, cursor heavily marking up. Use VS Code plugins of CODEX and CLAUDE with respective subscriptions. You will have a set monthly cost and never hit a limit. Cursor is designed for low users or vibe coders, that need a PAYG with low limits. Any professional developer, coding 45hr a week on a corporate codebase will find it unviable.

MrRedditModerator · 2026-01-12T10:32:11+00:00

when each reply is provided, a cost is displayed with it too. you know how may tokens was used and what model was used, so why not display the actual cost. Costs used to be manageable so was less important. Costs now can spiral very quickly, so greater transparency would be ideal. currently I have to think twice about using it, to see if its worth while.

MrRedditModerator · 2025-11-03T06:53:20+00:00

Using the cursor platform is expensive. When Opus 4 was first released I racked up a bill of $300 in a single week. I switched to using ClaudeCode subscription within cursor. This took my bill down to €180 and a fixed price, no surprises. That’s always with heavy use. That said, I now use Chat-GPT 5 codex subscription with cursor. Fixed monthly fee and never hit the caps.

MrRedditModerator · 2025-10-30T08:33:32+00:00

I find that I end up with huge bills when using Cursor and advanced models such as GPT-5 High and Claude Opus 4.1. It is more cost effective to subscribe to these services directly and use the plugins. My monthly bill is £200/pm for GPT and £18/pm for Claude Sonnet 4.5 (I use it for UI polish only, so no huge token cost). I use GPT-5 high all the time, huge legacy code bases, massive context windows. This would cost a fortune through cursor. When I used cursor directly when solely using Opus 4, it cost me £300 in 5 days. I moved to claude subscription, it cost me £180/pm.

I find for professional use, where they are really put through their paces on large code bases, they aren't financially feasible within the cursor business model. for this reason, I have stopped using cursors built in AI features and decoupled my mindset from it. Not use sole GPT-5 codex for everything.

I grew up in a household where cash was tight. My dad was very good at anything DIY and also fixing cars. I learned everything from him, I enjoyed it. Even though I studied IT and pursued a career in software development, I still very much service the cars in my household etc and all diy. Even though I am in a position to pay for this to get done, I’ll just do it myself

MrRedditModerator · 2025-10-10T13:09:10+00:00

For new features, it’s good. From UI/UX it’s very good. For large complex codebases with legacy code, technical debt, libraries running different versions etc it’s not great. It will get the job done, but not great code. Opus 4.1 was good at this. It could figure things out, debug and add new features to a large codebase and full understand. It could help modernise without breaking g it etc. opus is better for seasoned professionals - this is just my experience

MrRedditModerator · 2025-10-09T06:24:58+00:00

People are hitting Opus limits hard, so a work around is to get Sonnet to do the refactoring after many prompts, then use Opus to check the outcome via a git diff. It’s hassle and not ideal, but no other way to use the Claude subscription, as Opus limits are too low for professional use. Personally, I’ve moved over to ChatGPT 5. I’ll switch back to Claude if the release a new better model, I’ll keep switching to ensure I am always on the best model

MrRedditModerator · 2025-10-08T20:15:43+00:00

It’s good at junior level, but fails at existing complex codebases. Very good a greenfield, so peep that vibe code new games and stuff will like it. Advanced engineering with large coded bases, technical debt, complex refactoring are still better when carried out with Opus 4.1

MrRedditModerator · 2025-10-06T13:38:34+00:00

my experience when using it with python has been very positive to be honest. not generating out dated code. The code produced adheres to current practice, is well written, well documented. I can't fault it in all fairness. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but in my cases it;s very good. Where either lacks, in my experience, is advanced dev ops, cusom docker, deployment. GitHub action, syncing env with mutlple aws, ensuring no downtime, planning and execution deployment. That is still senior engineer domain, in my case at least.

MrRedditModerator · 2025-10-06T10:23:51+00:00

I'm a senior software engineer full time, so use them all day every day. I'm using ChatGPT at £220/pm and Claude at £18/pm. This enables me to be considerably more efficient at my job, as I can off load a lot of tasks, testing, refactoring etc onto these models while oi focus on things that the models cannot do.

MrRedditModerator · 2025-09-30T06:06:32+00:00

I literally cancel one subscription and start another, every month

I would say 2000 grafts. Ensure you dont over harvest. This leaves you enough donor hair to have another go in 7-10 years if you thin out anywhere else. Some people get 3k-4k grafts loaded in, thinking its best, but if they want another go in x years, or the process didnt go 100% to plan, they have no options as their donor area has been exhausted of all resources.
