  At work we have unlimited use of models from Anthropic and OpenAI (for now). My coworker, a Claude Code Opus 4.6 diehard, stopped by my desk today to say he finally installed Codex to try 5.5 and his feedback was basically “it just works and does what I ask and it doesn’t disconnect and it’s just so very matter of fact.” “Yeah I’ve been telling you this since like gpt-5 man!” “I know I know…” I have not spent much time with the recent Sonnet and Opus models, but from my experience using Sonnet 4 for 3 months all day everyday (no handwritten code) last summer to make a large Playwright suite was — using Claude Code and those models becomes more about using Claude Code than doing things with it. Codex CLI with the gpt-5 family is ambient and reliable. It’s not orange, there is no little sprite guy, emojis, whimsy, and humor. But I do things with it and they land working in first edits. I also can keep the same session for days and the context doesn’t ever seem to be an issue. Maybe Claude 6 will be earth shattering and I’ll use that. It’s not Coke or Pepsi loyalty I just want to get stuff done.

  This is a tough moment. Claude is simultaneously becoming substantially more expensive, substantially less reliable (single 9 of reliability), and substantially less performant. It's really hard to justify the cost of a subscription over there right now.

  Not so much a reply to the post, as a comment on the comments in this post.It's starting to feel like a lot of comments on here and other social media outlets that are anecdotal about their experience with x model and y tool are astroturfing. They add almost zero value to the conversation.These is a multi-billion dollar market and battleground, so im skeptical of anyone telling me that this isn't happening at a decent clip. I think moderators on the site should definitely consider how to approach this because it's devaluating this space as a place for actual discourse.My mind also considers that this being one of Altman's old stomping grounds, he may place a higher value in winning here than elsewhere.

  Between GitHub and Claude, it seems Eternal December[0][1] is upon us.[0]I say December, because that's around the time the models got good enough that non-AI folks started to notice.[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

  I built a hangout space to chill out in and chat to others while Claude is down (which is happening wayyy more often): https://clawdpenguin.comThere's a live Claude status board in the corner so you know when it's time to get back to work.

  Oh great. My Max account has been borked for days, and now they will never get to it with everything else burning down.https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/54497

  Anybody else double fist Codex/Claude? They both code, solve problems, and find bugs in unique ways. I find using both is more useful than using either alone. I have them code review each others work, it's great.

  So happy to have diversified my model providers this past couple of weeks. GPT-5.5 has had no trouble slotting into Opus workloads. Will be fun to try out more of the models as time goes on to build some resiliency into my engineering workflows :).

  This is insane. I have to move to Codex now.

  Odd time for Claude to go down since it's not peak work hours.
• hendler
  With the TPU deal with Google and their relationship with Amazon they will have access compute coming online.I worked with 4.6 and found some improvements for better planning and sustained us, but agree some posters 4.7 is slower, overthinking.What I expect is frontier models to get bigger and more expensive (especially fast mode like on Cerberus). And most of his get much smaller distillations for the more generous subscription tiers.

  But Boris declared coding is solved. How is this possible? Can’t they prompt Mythos to give them better uptime?

  I don't really mind hopping between claude/codex/glm/kimi except I don't know a good way to resume as session across agent harnesses.Normally I'd just have it write out what it's doing to a file, if I need to transfer context, but if it goes down mid-session that's a no-go.I think people have built tools for this, and of course you could reasonably vibe one yourself, but I don't really trust something like that to work reliably or in an ongoing manner.Maybe it should just be a skill.

  The models are already commoditized; if this affects you, you should probably fix your stack.Still, it's pretty crazy that Claude is down to 1 nine.
• etoxin
  I think we've hit the "who's the most reliable" stage for these tools.We can now shop around easily. They almost all do the same thing now. The models are "Just Enough".

  Claude design is still half down - after a couple of prompts it fails:[unknown] missing EndStreamResponse

• asehgal1987
  [unknown] missing EndStreamResponse for every Claude Design request, is anyone else facing the same?
• asehgal1987
  I am getting [unknown] missing EndStreamResponse for each request on Claude Code

  Does Anthropic publish postmortems for incidents like these?

  I've been on the $200 plan for 3 months, but this will be my last month. I got great use out of 4.5 for a while, but 4.6 felt like a half step back (conflated with all the random hidden config changes during it), and 4.7 is genuinely terrible.It's impossible to tell these days whether 4.7 is stuck because it's thinking and Anthropic suppressed all output (seriously, 4.7 will just start making changes without explaining any reasoning - how is that an upgrade?) or because the underlying infrastructure is having issues.4.5 -> 4.7 feels like going from working with a coach-able, junior engineer that does well with clear guidance to working with a cocky mid-level that will spend too long on pointless tangents and make confidently incorrect changes without any discussion.

  So Claude decided to take the rest of the day off without notice or giving a scheduled time off?Many such cases with humans (given that we continue to compare LLMs to humans these days which you cannot)

  For what it’s worth, I moved to Codex GPT-5.5 Xhigh Fast in the desktop app and it’s been fantastic.

  I'm feeling a bit sorry for Anthropic. This last month must be very tough on them.
