> Codex, on the other hand, will follow something I said pages and pages ago, and because it has a much larger context window (at least with the setup I have here at work), it's just better at following orders.

Can you speak more to that setup?

Claude Code goes through some internal systems that other tools (Cline / Codex / and I think Cursor) do not. Also we have different models for each. I don't know in practice what happens, but I found that Codex compacts conversations way less often. It might as well be somehow less tokens are used/added, then raw context window size. Sorry if I implied we have more context than whatever others have :)
