I've subscribed today to use Claude Cowork. Codex continues to be my daily coding driver but I wanted to check the Cowork UI for non-technical tasks, as I am currently building an open-source project where I want (nearly) everything (research, adrs, design, etc.) to be a file.
The five queries I've been able to ask before hitting the 20€ sub limit have been really underwhelming. The research I asked for was not exhaustive and often off-topic.
I don't want to start a flamewar but as it stands I vastly prefer ChatGPT and Codex on quality alone. I really want Anthropic and as many labs as possible to do well though.
I also have both and also use Codex as my daily drive. I still vastly prefer it to CC both for the quality of the code it writes and much better limits, but in this last week, I feel like it's gotten much dumber as well. I normally bounce back and forth between 5.3 Codex high and 5.4 high depending on the task and I've started finding so many mistakes in 5.3 Codex's code which is a major change from even just a few weeks ago. 5.4 high still gets the job done, but even there, I feel like it's taking more steering and input on my part for even simple tasks.
My impression is that Codex is vastly superior, but perhaps it's a matter of specific expertise on technologies used. It's also the case that for C/C++ some Chinese models do well enough that with my supervision I can have them get the work done.
I don't give them large tasks that i wouldn't be able to work on myself, so that's maybe part of it.
