| It's clearly because they didn't hire me after I applied :) In all seriousness, I use Codex for work and Claude at home, and I feel like nowadays they're actually pretty competitive with each other. I don't know that it's that far behind. I agree that they clearly erroneously assumed that no one would be able to catch up with them, though. OpenAI had such a head start that that should have been by itself a moat. |

| Does it matter that codex is now as good as claude code? Check dev spaces like twitter and discord and all anyone talks about is claude-code, openclaw, opus 4.6 etc. The mindshare went to anthropic. |

| ▲ | efromvt 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Just like OpenAI's original moat, I don't think that's particularly durable. I've already seen plenty of people swing back to preferring codex, and it'll probably swap again with the next model drop. Openclaw is potentially better integrated with ChatGPT at this point because of the explicit subscription support. | |

| ▲ | phist_mcgee 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I mean they hired the guy who created it. It's not exactly like openclaw is a real product. | | |

| Yea. In my opinion the value provided for 20$ is better. I wonder how much of antropic value is the hype around claude code coming from every snake oil sales man promoting claude code as best to use with open claw to summarize your emails. |

| ▲ | jimbokun an hour ago | parent [-] | | Claude Code became the default brand for an AI coding harness, much like ChatGPT was synonymous with AI chat bot. Even now when I hear Codex I have to stop and think “oh yeah that’s OpenAI’s competitor to Claude Code.” | | |
