r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Claude Code vs Codex My Own experience

Similar experience, even the model they released yesterday, fine tuned for Codex, is amazing. If anyone is switching though, I would strongly recommend checking out the `just-every/code` Codex CLI fork on GitHub, if you use the CLI variant. It has a much nicer UI, now has customisable multi-agent capable commands, and a few other things. I was a fan of Claude until late August, jumped over to Codex CLI since then and have remained impressed with how it doesn't do things I didn't ask for, doesn't say things are production ready when they aren't, doesn't need a huge amount of babysitting to keep it steered in the right direction, and feels like I'm not running out of context anywhere near as quick as I was with Claude Code. Of course, the downside to Codex CLI (the official version, not the fork I mentioned) is that UI and feature wise it doesn't match Claude Code, but on the other hand it has a much better model. I'd rather have the better model. Codex CLI is also open source and I'm sure will catch up soon enough with Claude Code as well. One other thing to note about the new fine tuned Codex model is that it seems to like doing tests - which is a good thing. At least that's been my experience. More on reddit.com
