I was right about Composer 2.5.
On the Artificial Analysis benchmark, itβs cheaper and uses way fewer tokens than GPT-5.5 while getting similar results.
GPT-5.5 with Codex harness: 4.8M tokens
Composer 2.5 Fast: 1.7M tokens
Composer 2.5 Fast is also ranked top 3 on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index.
People are still hating, but the numbers speak for themselves.
