Looks like they've begun censoring posts at r/Codex and not allowing complaint threads so here is my honest take:

- It is faster which is appreciated but not as fast as Opus 4.5

- I see no changes, very little noticeable improvements over 5.1

- I do not see any value in exchange for +40% in token costs

All in all I can't help but feel that OpenAI is facing an existential crisis. Gemini 3 even when its used from AI Studio offers close to ChatGPT Pro performance for free. Anthropic's Claude Code $100/month is tough to beat. I am using Codex with the $40 credits but there's been a silent increase in token costs and usage limitations.

Did you notice much improvement going from Gemini 2.5 to 3? I didn't

I just think they're all struggling to provide real world improvements

I think what they're actually struggling with is costs. And I think they're all behind the scenes quantizing models to manage load here and there, and they're all giving inconsistent results.

I noticed huge improvement from Sonnet 4.5 to Opus 4.5 when it became unthrottled a couple weeks ago. I wasn't going to sign back up with Anthropic but I did. But two weeks in it's already starting to seem to be inconsistent. And when I go back to Sonnet it feels like they did something to lobotomize it.

Meanwhile I can fire up DeepSeek 3.2 or GLM 4.6 for a fraction of the cost and get almost as good as results.
