I haven't tried an OpenAI model for a long time, but with Fable going to API pricing soon this might be enough to get me to try codex.

Seeing how Anthropomorphic just reset usage quotas back to 0 and the other day extended Fable sub inclusion by a few days, I have a feeling they might not drop Fable out of sub after all, because like you I would most definitely take a long good look at codex at that point.
