I feel like Codex made a big push to run everything on your laptop. With Claude, I get 4 cpu's, a fair amount of ram and 30gb for every one of my dumb ideas for free in the cloud containers. Codex used to be similar, but last time I tried it just kept pushing me to run it locally on my laptop, which I really did not want to do with 20 requests going at once. That's the main advantage for me at the moment.

What runs in cloud containers? The dev servers, builds, etc.? I tried to quickly glance at the Claude website and it doesn't mention cloud containers on their pricing page.

The dev environment runs in the cloud. Like devcontainers if you’re familiar with that, except the IDE is just the Claude app.

Having said that, I found the cloud dev environments slow to the point where I wasn’t sure if it had frozen, so I never looked back.

"cloud containers" do you mean Claude Code on the web? Codex also has similar Codex cloud.

Yes, correct, they both have the same capabilities, however it felt like codex was pushing me harder to use my local desktop in an annoying way, while claude code was happy to spin up a bunch of dev containers for me in the cloud.
