Redditor Finds Layering Codex Over Cursor as a Reviewer Beats Grok Cloud Agents

A Reddit user reports that Grok bots kept failing and regressing on Cursor's cloud agents, so they layered Codex on top as a senior-dev/quality reviewer — the stack ran for nearly 24 hours straight. Their thesis: pair a cheap workhorse model with a powerful, independent check, since OpenAI's best models outperform their Cursor default Grok 4.7. They're asking what stacks others find useful.
