stack overflow numbers again because they sting: claude code 65.5% / codex 29.5%. the "which model" war became a "which workflow" war. are you team long-context or team fast-loop?

if you only want GPT-Image generation, hit the API. stop doing subscription reset gymnastics. sometimes the boring path is the product.
