First accessible model with useable 1 million context window for me.
You don't get the discount that Deepseek is providing, but it's still a cheap model (v4-pro is cheaper than sonnet)
I recall reading about that in an issue or in their Discord server.
But I would contact them formally to verify that.
What's frustrating is that they give no information on who the provider(s) are!
RIP.
Claude literally refuses to finish tasks in auto mode and just keeps saying, now is a good stopping point, when it's 1% done.
Codex literally does not follow directions.
May as well pay 1/20th the price.
Claude seems to have something that looks at how long you've been a customer and then just massively degrades quality.
When I started my subscription, Claude had none of these problems.
When I first started using Codex, it followed directions and performed well (and fast).
2 months into subscriptions they are both unusably terrible.
I am completely convinced they just screw over their customers after so much usage or so long of a subscription thinking they have them for life.
I have NEVER been so happy to cancel a subscription.
China is gonna win long term there’s no doubt. The fact that the American firms haven’t created immense escape velocity despite the disparity in spending is quite telling.
Remember Jevons paradox? [0] It isn't at Anthropic or Microsoft [0], but it is at DeepSeek.
