again the question of concern as codex user is usage
its hard to get any meaningful use out of claude pro
after you ship a few features you are pretty much out of weekly usage
compared to what codex-5.1-max offers on a plan that is 5x cheaper
the 4~5% improvement is welcome but honestly i question whether its possible to get meaningful usage out of it the way codex allows it
for most use cases medium or 4.5 handles things well but anthropic seems to have way less usage limits than what openai is subsidizing
until they can match what i can get out of codex it won't be enough to win me back
edit: I upgraded to claude max! read the blog carefully and seems like opus 4.5 is lifted in usage as well as sonnet 4.5!
Well, that's where the price reduction comes in handy, no?
