Comment on Ask HN: Claude Opus 4.5 vs. GPT 5.1 Codex Max for coding. Worth the upgrade?

Comments

Using Opus 4.5 through VScode/CoPilot gives so much better results than anything else I’ve tried that I kept paying when they briefly made it 3x token rate.

I really like the interaction flows better than Gemini 3 or Codex, though I can’t quite quantify why. The amount of explanation/supporting material in Opus’s output feels just right to me.
