They're milking the final drops, before LLMs become so good that they'll write something like this in an hour

"Coded by OpenClaw" written on PCB

was this necessary? could've said "Code written by LLM" or something

Probably some kind of cache, but it's taken down, I'm getting 404, while some of my friends are still able to see it

I have the exact same experience... if you don't use it, you'll lose it

GPT-5.2-codex or 5.3-codex Works pretty well for me in opencode

Also, one more ridiculous thing

Send this to opus 4.5 or opus 4.6:

"udp you joke about hear a like would ? to"

It says: Chat paused Opus 4.6’s safety filters flagged this chat. Due to its advanced capabilities, Opus 4.6 has additional safety measures that occasionally pause normal, safe chats. We’re working to improve this. Continue your chat with Sonnet 4.

what???? "Due to its advanced capabilities" ???

Due to it's advanced capabilities it didn't get the joke?

The "50ms" number was measured by me and you can literally try it on your system as well. it will likely be faster than 50ms

Do you have a proof that gpt-5.2 or 5.3 codex takes 2 hours for the same problem that sonnet/opus4.5/4.6 take 5 minutes to solve? (I use both anthropic and openai models daily almost equally, and i'm not relating to what you said)

Sure codex-cli lacks way-too many features compared to claude-code (I use opencode), but your statement implies that openai models are absolute garbage (2h vs 5m to solve a problem)

Same with opencode and gemini, it's disgusting

Codex (by openai ironically) seems to be the fastest/most-responsive, opens instantly and is written in rust but doesn't contain that many features

Claude opens in around 3-4 seconds

Opencode opens in 2 seconds

Gemini-cli is an abomination which opens in around 16 second for me right now, and in 8 seconds on a fresh install

Codex takes 50ms for reference...

If their models are so good, why are they not rewriting their own react in cli bs to c++ or rust for 100x performance improvement (not kidding, it really is that much)

thehamkercat — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 16:12:14 +0000

Everybody who uses anything knows that it's down

So what value does it add saying "X is down" anywhere?

It's just for discussion, you can't just ignore it and not talk about it with anyone if a particular service is down and posts like this are pretty common on hn and i haven't seen anyone complaining, it's you being overly critical, yes
