KJV Cards :
I spent $1k, mostly on Claude, this past month. It definitely isn't working like it used to.
Codex can certainly be cheaper, but your plan has to have a high level of granular fallback, because the adaptive thinking in codex is poor, and GPT takes significantly longer to execute work.
Retroactive token churn, within chat context, is the main issue, so you gotta open new threads, frequently.
Sonnet 5 is the best ROI, right now, with light work on Codex, but in the next year, I'll be chucking then in the garbage for open models, fine tuning, etc, with actual workflow intelligence. 👍
