Cursor and Claude Opus 4.5 is a game changer

The combination of the two delivers on the promise: fast and clever editing of multiple files in a codebase, with minimal human intervention.

No other model I tried in Cursor comes even close.

Question: did anyone tried Claude Codex: as good as Cursor?

>> Claude Codex

Do you mean codex or Claude code standalone without cursor? Codex is OpenAI’s coding tool competing with Claude.

Based on my limited experimentation Claude code is better. I haven’t used any of these coding agents with an ide only from the cli.

Claude Code, thank you!

I hesitate trying Claude Code, there is a bit of fatigue installing new tools :-)

By the way: ChatGPT 5.1 Codex Max pro, which was rubbish when used directly inside Cursor, is actually very good once I access it via the OpenAI Codex extension installed within Cursor!

Mysteries of toolchains...

Anyway, that proved so useful when I maxed out my Claude credits.
