Just stick with one. I’ve had good results with the various versions of Claude for half a year. Once in a while I dabble with the others but haven’t seen any improvements that would change my current practice. But also, the more you use the solution you choose, the better you’ll get at understanding its quirks and strengths and weaknesses. They’re tools. Swapping tools just for a few new features doesn’t necessarily lead to better overall productivity. Answer from YesterdaysFacemask on reddit.com

GPT 5.1 Codex models - Discussions - Cursor - Community Forum
3 weeks ago - GPT 5.1 Codex all models don’t work fine somehow, only try once, don’t try to fix again until you say so. Also only check what you say, not considers other options or breaking other features, prints very short comments on what it completed too, maybe it will get smarter later as Cursor team integrates these models better.

r/vibecoding on Reddit: GPT 5.2 is out - so now switching to Codex again? // How do you keep up with the latest craze?
2 weeks ago -
Just venting a bit here, but is anyone else getting fed up with new models coming out every week and one trumping the other?
Tbh I'm in constant fomo because e.g. I work with Claude Code and Sonnet 4.5 for a week but then Gemini 3 Pro comes out and is apparently the best at frontend so I switch to Gemini CLI or Antigravity.
But then Anthropic set new and more generous limits for Opus 4.5 and all the sudden it's back to CC.
Then GPT 5.2 drags me to Codex.
In between Cursor is offering something for free for a week or just improves the UI/UX so much that switching all the way back to cursor makes sense.
My head is spinning, and so is my credit card.
Sure, I could just stay with one of them. But then I'm seriously concerned to miss out and code in a very inefficient way if I could be much faster & better. Major FOMO constantly.
How do you all deal with that?
Ignore the fomo? switch only once a month? stick with one provider?

I just stick with Claude, but if you really do want to switch back-and-forth between the most recent updated version just pay for cursor and then pick your model from it. And they have their own models and benefits as well and then you can keep your set up with your rules and cursor, ignore files, etc.. That said my theory is that everything we’re using now is so much better than it was months ago or years ago so as long as I’m using one of them that I’d like to use then it really doesn’t matter if you use a different one that’s top dog for two weeks. It’s really just chasing fads. If you’re doing real work, it doesn’t really matter

How to Run GPT-5-Codex with Cursor AI? - CometAPI - All AI Models in One API
1 month ago - Use the Codex (OpenAI) integration — install the Codex IDE extension (the Codex extension plays inside Cursor’s extensions/marketplace), install the Codex CLI locally, and authenticate Codex to your account (or configure it to use CometAPI credentials). Below I walk through prerequisites, step-by-step flows and practical tips for each method. A recent Cursor installation (update to the latest release to ensure model/integration settings are present). Cursor’s docs show a “Models / Integrations” area where provider API keys are configured. A CometAPI account and API key (if you plan to call GPT-5-Codex through CometAPI).

I have not tried yet, but I would love to hear your first impressions about the GPT-5-Codex on Cursor. Is it like GPT-5? It should be better than GPT-5 but I am not sure if this is the case.
What is your view so far?

GPT 5.1 Codex Max feedback - Discussions - Cursor - Community Forum
3 weeks ago - As requested… Yeah it’s clever, but doesn’t feel overly agentic. It stops prematurely and constantly requires persuasion to continue and do the thing. I know the new harness has added explicit instructions to make it behave as we might typically expect, but it doesn’t seem to be enough!

GPT-5 Codex vs Claude Code vs Cursor – Which is best for coding?
September 17, 2025 - Less automation of agentic tasks: While Cursor can help with edits, committing changes, and suggestions, it doesn’t (or didn’t as of latest documentation) natively handle some of the more “agentic” job-scope that Claude Code or GPT-5-Codex do (like automatically running tests / commits / CLI agents) to as autonomous a degree.

Codex in Cursor - No more CLI integration since GPT 5 update? - Coding with ChatGPT - OpenAI Developer Community
September 16, 2025 - I had a reasonably good workflow going prior to the GTP 5 codex update 2 days ago. Codex would run Git commands for me to approve, then create PRs, and run them back through my CI/CD and I’d squash/merge or troubleshoot the error. Since the update Codex can’t do any of that.

5 days ago - Codex is so so good at finding bugs and little inconsistencies, it's astounding to me. Where Claude Code is good at "raw coding", Codex/GPT5.x are unbeatable in terms of careful, methodical finding of "problems" (be it in code, or in math) · Yes, it takes longer (quality, not speed please!)
