Which of these do you prefer for coding ? In last few days, it seems Codex has started outperforming Claude Code

All these models are built on same underlying technology - LLMs based on autoregressive transformers. No company has any big advantage or moat over others.

So it’s a game of cat & mouse. Leaderboards will keep changing every week, as this or that model makes a small improvement due to latest tweak, and others will catch up soon.

So don’t fret about it too much. Pick a model / tool, whichever you’re comfortable with, and stick with it. In the long run, all the models will have roughly similar performance, as they catch up with one another week by week in the cat & mouse game.

While half of it is true, but Claude has been one of the best out there, with hardly any competition. GPT5 comes close but I guess it is because claude has regressed, especially in claude code.

Codex hasn't been out performing claude code in the last few weeks. It's just that people who are leaving claude code want to shift to a cheaper alternative - which is codex. They are hoping codex would be similar to claude , but I've read that codex is not good either.

When I tried Claude it did not appeal to me. It's outputs were not that refined. Codex I never used so don't know. There are better platforms out there than Claude.

Right now claude is not working properly, they have downgraded performance, it's either model issue or claude cli issue
