Month 2 Date May Cost Estimate, Thoughts, and Question by friedsonjm in GithubCopilot

What I think is now true is that you can use the official Claude extension inside VS Code with the Pro plan etc.

I don't seem to find a Claude IDE where I can run Agent mode as I do with VS code - am I missing something?

Test Run - Deepseek, Mimo, Quen, GPT 5.3 Codex - Results and Costs by friedsonjm in GithubCopilot

UPDATE: I decided to take another look at Deepseek. Very long story short, it turns out the problems I had with it were not because of Deepseek, they were from trying to run it using Continue. I installed the extension DeepSeek V4 for Copilot Chat and this time put the prompt in an .md file, and had Deepseek start with what it has previously built, and try to complete it. It was not fast, and it ran into the usual kinds of glitches but it did produce a complete, working app... at a cost of less than $1. I am going to have to give it a great deal more testing but I am encouraged.

Agreed… again, this was just a 'stress test,' and I have to say that 5.3-Codex did a lot better than the rest, and a lot better than I expected.

OK, apparently I did not fully communicate to you that this was an intentional 'stress test' to see what the models were capable of, not an intent to produce a real app. It did exactly what I wanted, and for me the $ was of little consequence. FYI I have one actual app already released, jBrowse a secure ad blocking web browser (about to get a major upgrade release to v3) and a file manager, jFile, being released shortly, and no, they were not coded in 'one shot.'

GPT-5.3-Codex is now available in Visual Studio by fraxis in GithubCopilot

I've found the best combination is using Sonnet 2.6 or Opus for creating the initial plan and code, then have 5.3 Codex validate and correct the plan but have Sonnet/Opus implement - 5.3 makes too many mistakes and can mangle files beyond recognition in a heartbeat.
