Dev Compares Codex vs Claude: Claude Nails Multi-Agent Orchestration, Codex Doesn't
madhavsinghal_ · x · 2026-09-25
A developer's hands-on comparison of "multi-agent in a session" workflows:
- Codex has a lot of friction right now — the in-session scheduling for multiple agents doesn't really work
- Claude has multi-agent orchestration nailed down
- Yet he rates Astra as a damn good model for the really hard tasks, and hopes Codex's orchestration gets fixed soon so the model isn't held back by tooling
Takeaway: orchestration-layer UX is becoming a deciding factor in model choice for agentic work.
