> OpenAI has no serious open source software

What's "serious" exactly? Codex is open source, is software, can be run with open/downloadable models/weights.

In my testing using Gemini, Claude Code, Codex, Qwen Code and AMP side-by-side for every prompt for the last two weeks, Codex seems the best of all of them so far.



Pretty sure the claim is of LLMs specifically, and implies that the recent GPT-OSS is not competitive with other open weights models.


> Pretty sure the claim is of LLMs specifically

Yeah, I initially thought so too, but since they used "models" later, I assumed they knew the difference and really meant "software".

> recent GPT-OSS is not competitive with other open weights models

Yeah, heard that a lot from people who haven't run GPT-OSS themselves too, but as someone who been playing with it since launch, and compared it to the alternatives since then, saying it isn't even competitive is a serious signal they don't know what they're talking about.
