Dev says image gen is the only thing keeping him on Codex over Claude
CtrlAltDwayne · x · 2026-10-05
Developer CtrlAltDwayne shares his Codex vs Claude comparison: the sole reason he still uses Codex is its built-in image generation (he wishes Anthropic had a decent image model), and Codex's computer use still beats Claude. Beyond that, he sees little keeping him on Codex—he now mostly uses Opus 5.5 and SWE-2.
