I asked Codex 5.3 and Opus 4.6 to write me a macos application with a certain set of requirements.

Opus 4.6 wrote me a working macos application.

Codex wrote me a html + css mockup of a macos application that didn't even look like a macos application at all.

Opus 4.5 was fine, but I feel that 4.6 is more often on the money on its implementations than 4.5 was. It is just slower.

I asked both to help me with a hardware bug. Codex kept trying things, being sure of what the problem is every time, and every time making it worse.

Opus went off and browsed my dependencies for ten minutes, and came back and solved the problem firs try.
