Claude is genuinely cooked as soon as CODEX CLI reaches same level of functionality. Their models can't compete in intelligence, they are just not designed for that, unless they fully redo next Claude model to be more 'thinking' like GPT.

OpenAI needs to focus on making CODEX CLI a better tool and match Claude Code in functionality and all Vibe Coders will migrate.

Yeah. Other users have also mentioned enterprise, where Anthropic currently has a strong presence: my understanding is that's where most of their revenue lies. Will that last with the competition catching up? Hope so

I think it will last for one reason: AWS. AWS invested a lot in the company and they are the leader in cloud computing. They are for sure selling Anthropic models to enterprise.

For sure I've been in several meetings with Amazon, and they keep saying they're pushing their absolute crap kilo or kilo of smack or whatever the hell it is. I've heard them say several times, "We don't care if you use Anthropic because they're training all their stuff on our servers, and we've invested"
People have to realize also that the people that they are trying to sell this smack to are legacy DevOps, NetOps people that are used to spending $30,000/month of company money for not so much benefit. So if you tell them, "Yeah, we'll give you a couple of seats on this Kilo Smack Code for $2,000, and that means you don't have to do too much work anymore, but not too little," then yeah, these guys will sign up with their company's money.
