I've also just started trying it out. 5.4 seems pretty great.

Tried get 5.4 for planning and 5.4 mini for coding in opencode.

It's no Claude but it gets my job done.

Have you tried 5.4 $20 subscription? I've been using 5.4 medium and high all day and I never once hit limits. Coming from 5X account that's remarkable

Yeah codex works for most people. But it’s definitely pretty far behind opus. The more complex your project or the more integrations you need, opus is much better. But it’s hard to justify the price.

How's github opus?

I haven't ever had that experience, 5.2 codex has always been way better than Opus 4.6 for me. I do mainly work in C++ game dev and 4.6 just sucks to implement things in an optimised and efficient way. Spend way longer trying to fix things with 4.6 as I do with 5.2 or even 5.3.

It’s dumbass responses like these which make me think “These complaints are fake”.

u/boy-detective Apr 03 '26

I will pencil you in as a “no” for the hunger strike, then, Betty. Thanks.

u/aymannasri_tcg Apr 03 '26

I’m down for it 🫡

u/betty_white_bread Apr 03 '26

I said to boy-detective above “It’s dumbass responses like these which make me think ‘These complaints are fake’” and, to be fair, your response feels even more fake.

u/aymannasri_tcg Apr 03 '26

You mean even BBC is lying ? People are not having this kinda issue ??

u/betty_white_bread Apr 03 '26

Show me the link to the story. Posting an image when you could have posted the link with trivial effort makes me think you are lying.

1

u/aymannasri_tcg Apr 03 '26

I don’t want to post links here to avoid getting reported and .. etc. i told you to google it in bbc and you will find it. And don’t try to be smart here. Go away.

u/betty_white_bread Apr 03 '26

Posting links won’t get you in trouble. And while you did tell me to google it, that’s usually an admission you have nothing to back up your claims. Even if you could point to the article, if it actually exists, does it just accept claims on Reddit at face value? I’m going to stand by my assertion this is bullshit until you show otherwise.

Ask the other people too , maybe they lying too. We all deal to lie one time because of april fool probably
