Unsafe for whom and according to whom?

A while back I came across Claude-trace which shows all of Claude-code messages (including tool calls) in full detail in a nice foldable html view. Made a lot of things very clear to me.

Truly bizarre situation they are in.

Curious why they can’t run some benchmarks with the model (if they suspect the issue is with the model itself) or some agentic coding benchmarks on Claude-code (if the issue might be with the scaffolding, prompts etc).

My biggest concern now is — if the issue they have is as vague as “reports of degraded quality”, how do they even approach fixing it? And what measurable criteria will they use, to declare that it is fixed? Would they take a vibes-check opinion poll?

I admit I still haven’t weaned off of Claude-Code. I often have CC (Claude-code) consult/delegate with/to CC (codex-CLI) using my Tmux-cli tool, with CC1 watching/capturing CC2’s output or asking it to dump into markdown files:

The excellent Claude Code scaffolding can be used very easily with GLM-4.5, Kimi-K2, Deepseek (all of which have Anthropic-compatible APIs) by setting a simple function in ~/.zshrc: github.com/pchalasani/c...

But context length half of Claude though

E.g., see this recent anthropic status update. “Lower intelligence, malformed responses, issues with tool calling in Claude code” — quantized models is one way this could happen.

The single biggest missing feature in codex-cli was resume/continue; now they have it, and with GPT-5’s context length double that of Claude (I still haven’t got access to the 1m context model), and less sycophancy, I think it’s a very compelling alternative to Claude-code.

I’m talking to code agents all day 😀 makes it easy to do a brain dump and then have them create a nice markdown

A speech to text (dictation) app is essential, to make it less tedious and less painful (literally, I mean to avoid RSI etc) to give code-agents all this context. My current favs are Wispr Flow (subscription) and VoiceInk (one time pay, fully local)

Curious what you found to be the most effective way to use GPT-5 with CC. Some options I know of:
- have CC spawn another CLI agent running GPT-5
- have CC use an MCP server (e.g zen) that runs GPT-5
- Claude-code-router
- copy paste from ChatGPT

Not just pplx, It’s also beating o3 and Gemini 2.5 pro, which was very puzzling, until I saw a reddit discussion where they said they didn’t allow web-search on those other models. Yet another chart crime 😂

Summary seems to be - People were expecting a step change in abilities, and got a router instead.

Claude-trace is fantastic. I was inspired by it to make nice html logs showing agent conversations in the Langroid agent framework: langroid.github.io/langroid/not...

There’s definitely a tradeoff of intelligence vs determinism

I am a CS person too, and I hear you. I guess we have to work at multiple levels

So… basically a CustomGPT
