again the question of concern as codex user is usage

its hard to get any meaningful use out of claude pro

after you ship a few features you are pretty much out of weekly usage

compared to what codex-5.1-max offers on a plan that is 5x cheaper

the 4~5% improvement is welcome but honestly i question whether its possible to get meaningful usage out of it the way codex allows it

for most use cases medium or 4.5 handles things well but anthropic seems to have way less usage limits than what openai is subsidizing

until they can match what i can get out of codex it won't be enough to win me back

edit: I upgraded to claude max! read the blog carefully and seems like opus 4.5 is lifted in usage as well as sonnet 4.5!



Well, that's where the price reduction comes in handy, no?


codex-5.1-max I can see from benchmark is ~3% off what opus 4.5 is claiming and while i can see one off uses for it i can't see the 3x reduction in price being enticing enough to match what openai subsidizes


Sonnet is still $3/25M tokens, and peoples still had many many complaints
