codex the model (not the cli) is the big thing here. I've used it in CC and w/ my claude setup, it can handle things Opus could never. it's really a secret weapon not a lot of people talk about. I'm not even using xhigh most of the time.


Yo, mind explaining your setup in a bit more detail? I agree completely - I like the Claude Code harness, but think Codex (the model) is significantly better as a coding model.

I'm struggling with landing in a good way to use them together. If you have a way you like, I'd love to hear it.


No, the codex harness is also optimized for the codex models. Highly recommend using first-party OpenAI harnesses for codex.


I used that too, but CC currently has features like hooks that codex team has refused to add far too many times.


Hmm, this seems promising?

OpenAI does not merge feature PRs. But you could try it out in a fork.


What’s the point of having a public GitHub repo with PRs enabled if they will never merge any of them?


They merge bugfixes and documentation and they allow discussion in employee PRs


Thanks. I didn't know they didn't merge those.


FYI there are forks that add it


When you say CC is it Codex CLI or Claude Code?


claude code


If I understand correctly, you're using CC with an OpenAI API key, right?

CC doesn't support it natively, so I'm assuming is some sort of mod, and it still outclasses Opus? That's interesting.

Do you mind sharing what tool/mod you are using?
