Claude Opus 4.7 3 months ago

Same. I’ve lived in Claude Code since the beta release and last couple of weeks was horrible. I’ve been using codex for last couple of days and it’s much smarter than 4.6.

Claude Opus 4.7 3 months ago

It worked. Although I have a Claude Code subscription, I got the ChatGPT Pro plan, and 5.4 xHigh at 1.5x speed was better than 4.6 with adaptive thinking disabled. I was working all day, about 8 hours, and did not run into any limits. 5.4 surprised me many times by doing things I usually would not do myself, because I am lazy, so yeah, I am sticking with 5.4 for now until all the Claude drama is over.

Anyone who has all three and found iPad still useful? I’m mostly on my MacBook and use iPhone when I’m not on my MacBook, or Apple TV.

Agent Skills 6 months ago

So the only difference between slash custom command and agent skills is that they can be invoked only when needed instead of stuffing the whole markdown file? I’m trying to understand how is this different from what we already have in markdown files.

I was blown away by this model. It was definitely comparable to sonnet 4. In some of my tests, it performed as good as Opus. I subscribed to their paid plan, and now the model seems dumb? I asked it to find and replace a string. It only made the change in one file. Codex worked fine. Can Z.ai confirm if this is the model we get through their API or is it quantized for Claude Code use?

Claude Code recently showcased how powerful it can be when you don’t have to memorize commands. My AI agent works similarly. It finds the right CLI commands instead of relying on Playwright or an MCP server to perform tasks. What’s interesting is that even the agent doesn’t know many commands upfront; it simply uses the help option to discover what’s available.

I always use Claude Code to debug issues, there’s no point in trying to do this yourself when AI can fix it in minutes (easy to verify if you write tests first) o3 with new search can do things in 5 mins that will take me at least 30 mins if I’m very efficient. Say what you want but the time savings is real.
