Exactly. Popular opinion is behind reality by several months. Claude used to be significantly better, now it is basically the same.

Claude has been behind since GPT-5. Claude Code just looked cool and had better marketing

[cpchander]

Claude is more reliable in production, less errors and better understand instructions. That's why the valuation shifted, technical people are choosing Claude for actual shipped products.

This isn’t the case at all, the most technical and best engineers are all using Codex now and have been for roughly six months.

It’s a known “secret” for a while now how much better Codex is than Claude. I’ve used both since they were released and I often implement in both to compare and 95% of the time Codex writes better code and also less code!

Claude is only really better at front end design.

How could you possibly know all the most "technical and best engineers?". Wait.. are you a codex instance?

[saberience]

Just follow respected folks on X who all stated they use Codex now over Claude.

[theossuary]

You're being silly. The actual technical people are using Claude for implementation and relying on MCP servers to use Codex 5.5 and Gemini 3.1 pro to build teams, councils, and long running senior engineer conversations within Claude to handle the technical bits that're too complicated for Claude.
