I was really unimpressed by the free Codex (for nodejs/react dev). I think it must be using a less powerful model or they’re limiting it in some other way.

Are you specifically pointing at a different experience between free + paid? Or just that the free version is unimpressive?
I'm using paid on TypeScript and it's genuinely terrific. Subjectively I think it has the edge over Opus.
I'd be surprised if OpenAI is hamstringing the free version. That would seem crazy from a GTM PoV. If anything the labs seem to throttle the heavy paid users.
Yes, the free version doesn't have access to the same models that the paid does.
You have access to 5.5 xhigh on free. Which model is missing except the 5.3 that run on cerebras?
It's only missing the trash models. Likely a user skill issue.
The free version of ChatGPT is definitely worse as well. My SO uses the free version and I can tell a significant downgrade.

Can Codex chats be shared? (This is a genuine question; so far, I've only used Codex in CLI on Linux.)

I'm unimpressed by all LLMs, and especially unimpressed by the people claiming to be impressed by them.
