This might be true in neutral workflows, but decoupling the LLM from the agent is difficult for Codex vs. CC. Using both models outside of their coding agents produces a _very_ different experience.
There's no clearer example of this than CC's built-in prompt expansion logic. It's very obvious when CC delegates instructions - the main loop provides the sub-agent with clear, robust context and instructions.
IME the Codex app doesn't consistently expand prompts, and the LLM's instruction-following performance suffers as a result. Plans are also lower-quality and lack critical detail.
Of course this is all subject to change like, every 17 seconds with our current rate of progress.
I feel like GPT5 and the gpt-image-1 have different enforced content policies, "gpt5: help me create a prompt to generate an image without violations!" {prompt}
"gpt-image-1": {prompt}
This image generation request did not follow our content policy.

Got a 2.4 GPA my first semester in college. Thought maybe I wasn’t cut out for engineering. Today I’ve landed two spacecraft on Mars, and am now designing one for the Moon.
STEM is hard for everyone. Grades ultimately aren’t what matter. Curiosity and perseverance matter.

Always interested in how things came to be. Read this for good insights into the lineage of the master/slave terminology.
This month GitHub is sunsetting its controversial use of "master" as default branch name, but how did the use of the term arise at all?
I look into this in my new post: "Tracing the History of Master-Slave From GitHub to Sir Francis Bacon." Check it out.

I learned quite a bit about Python and problem solving from this 10 FizzBuzz solutions book. Standardizing the problem and changing the methods is a great learning vehicle. Check it out!

On hold with the PayPal customer support. Current hold time between 4 hours 10 minutes and 7 hours 50 minutes. Their AI to reduce calls doesn't work. 🥺😂😢 @AskPayPal
Great bit of applied atmospheric science being done for the customers at @delta
