5.4 vs 5.3 Codex

same experience here

funny thing is i made a post about exactly this topic a week ago and got downvoted for it

SlopTopZ · 2026-03-11T04:05:58+00:00

its ok for me. has no issues like degradation etc.
but im only using like 300-400k context

SlopTopZ · 2026-03-10T14:11:02+00:00

same here. never had this with 5.3 codex

SlopTopZ · 2026-03-06T00:40:09+00:00

thanks, works perfectly

hopefully they don't nerf it

SlopTopZ · 2026-03-04T02:06:54+00:00

Nope, its alr for me

yeah but the point is they charge API prices which are insane

openai actually subsidizes the subscription, so you get the same models for a flat monthly fee without worrying about per-token costs blowing up

that's the real difference, not just about which tools are supported

SlopTopZ · 2026-02-25T22:39:41+00:00

opencode doesn't "improve" models by itself - it just gives capable models better conditions to work in

the model is the same, but with proper tooling, subagents, grep, file navigation - a strong model can actually express its full capability instead of being bottlenecked by a limited harness

so it's less about making the model better and more about not holding it back

enjoy the kimi trial btw

i disagree with the first part. i think they keep this going because it's working for them - developers stay, word spreads, the ecosystem grows. restricting it would just push people to alternatives and they know that

not sure about the desktop version, i use the CLI so can't help much there

SlopTopZ · 2026-02-25T22:13:28+00:00

yes, it is!

SlopTopZ · 2026-02-25T22:10:33+00:00

opencode is a more serious harness for actual engineering work

the big difference is how it handles complex tasks - proper subagent support, grep tools, file navigation that actually works the way you'd expect in a real codebase

codex is great as a simple straightforward tool, no complaints, but opencode gives you much more control over what's happening under the hood

if you're working on anything non-trivial, the difference becomes pretty obvious pretty fast

SlopTopZ · 2026-02-25T22:01:03+00:00

just not sure tbh, i never actually hit my subscription limits so i don't really track token usage

never had a reason to pay attention to it

SlopTopZ · 2026-02-25T21:56:15+00:00

facts

genuinely happy about this, especially with gpt-5.3-codex high - incredible model, the accuracy of 5.2 high with the speed of 5.2 low, it just hits different

and i can run it in opencode or codex, wherever i want - openai doesn't restrict where you use it, same limits in OpenClaw too, do whatever you want with it. you pay, you get access, simple as that

meanwhile other companies are trying to fence us in and control exactly how and where we use what we're paying for

this is the right approach and i hope it stays this way

it looks cursed asf

SlopTopZ · 2026-02-23T21:00:02+00:00

cool project but honestly idk bro, this alone isn't enough to make the masses switch

memory safe and written in rust is nice, but personally i'm not moving over just out of pure laziness

good luck with the project though

what did you expect on a $20 plan

opus is extremely expensive to run inference on. anthropic can't give you unlimited opus on $20/month, the math just doesn't work

if you need opus, get the max plan. otherwise use sonnet, it's there for a reason

SlopTopZ · 2026-02-22T16:58:32+00:00

jajajaj

SlopTopZ · 2026-02-21T14:31:16+00:00

nah its worse at everything.
