		foft 7 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Addendum to GPT-5 system card: GPT-5-Codex I've had great results with Codex, though I found ChatGPT 5 was giving much better results than the existing model. So ended up using that directly instead. So very excited to have the model upgraded in Codex itself. The main issues with Codex now seem to be the very poor stability (it seems to be down almost 50% of the time) and lack of custom containers. Hoping those get solved soon, particularly the stability. I also wonder where the price will end up, it currently seems unsustainably cheap.

Jetbrains has a $30/mo subscription (with gpt5 backend) and the quota burns so fast.

Assuming Jetbrains is at breakeven price, either OpenAI has some secret sauce or they're losing money for Codex.
