Codex Model Showdown: Sol Medium Beats Luna & Terra Max in Tests
alexcovo_eth · x · 2026-08-03
Developer @IFITALEX conducted a hands-on comparison of three models on the Codex platform: Luna Max, Sol Medium, and Terra Max, offering practical selection advice:
- Sol Medium: The top daily choice. It achieved the highest quality score (9), took only 21.5 minutes, and consumed the fewest tokens (96.8k), delivering excellent value.
- Luna Max: Suitable for long, background tasks where quota conservation is key. It uses the lowest weekly quota (1%), but is slow (40.5 minutes), has the lowest quality score (7.5), and burns 130k tokens.
- Terra Max: Lacks competitiveness. Although fastest (20.7 minutes), its quality score is lower than Sol Medium's, and it consumes 50% more weekly quota (3%), making it a poor trade-off.
- Combo (Sol planning + Luna execution): Tested results were worse than running Sol Medium alone, proving that splitting tasks just adds overhead.
