AI researchers report reduced reliance on Anthropic's Claude for extended data analysis and system administration tasks due to frequent interruptions and refusals, shifting toward OpenAI Codex.

I no longer use Claude for doing per record analysis because it will either give up declaring it will take too long or just stop abruptly in the middle. Codex will happily work on it for hours until everything gets done. Another use case is system management or setting up new box (for example, copy ssh keys) where I absolutely would not use Claude because it almost always becomes paranoid, becomes extremely stupid and refuses a lot of things. To think about it, I am using Claude less and less these days because it’s hard to find use case where codex is sub-optimal but very easy to find use case where Claude will just refuse.
