I'd personally rather use gpt-5. The sub price is cheap and offers more overall value than an Anthropic sub or paying per token. The chatgpt app on iPhone and Mac are native and nicer than Anthropic's and offer more features. Codex is close enough to Claude Code and also now native. For me it's nicer to use the "same" model across each use case like text, images, code etc. this way I better understand the limitations and quirks of the model rather than the constant context switching to different models to get maybe slightly better perf. To each their own though depending on your personal use case.

The problem is GPT-5 is not in the same league as even Claude 3.5. But I do hope their lower pricing puts some downward pressure on Anthropic's next release.

		I don’t believe this is true but I’m willing to be proven wrong. I believe people who think this are just used to Claude’s models and therefore understand the capabilities and limitations due to their experience using them.

I wish the app supported mcp. Is this “not invented here”?
