@sickdotdev Just as good as F5!
Codex+5.6s is awful. For tasks of the same length, 5.6 keeps falling into infinite loops and runs slowly.
When creating videos:
5.6 gets stuck for two days and fails to finish a single video.
F5+Claude Code finishes one video in half an hour.
The gap is huge.
If you aren't yet bold enough to install the Codex app, you can stay in the presence of your orange crab and point it at GPT 5.6 Sol. Takes 5 minutes. Kudos to Theo for explaining one of the ways to get this done.
Step 1: Install CLIProxyAPI
Step 2: Connect
Step 3: Define following alias and enjoy claudex
```
alias claudex='CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL=gpt-5.6-sol \
CLAUDE_CODE_ALWAYS_ENABLE_EFFORT=1 \
CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_TOOL_USE_CONCURRENCY=3 \
ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH=false \
claude --model gpt-5.6-sol'
```
If this gets blocked, I owe you a reset.
