๐คฏ RIP CLAUDE CODE: Codex CLI + Superpowers Plugin = INSANE
In this video we talk about the recent updates to the Codex CLI and also the ability to use this powerful coding tool FOR FREE
Thanks for watching and PEACE
Hamish
Codex CLI is completely FREE right now and GPT-5.4-MINI might be the best cheap coding model I've ever tested. In this video I put them both through our standard benchmark - building a full service website from scratch using the Superpowers plugin and subagents.
The results? 15 minutes, full Next.js app, better output than Gemini 3 Flash. And it cost me nothing.
I also test whether Codex CLI could be a real Claude Code competiโฆ
