There are actually not many developers using Codex, and many people haven't experienced what true vibe coding feels like. When GPT-5.2 (OpenCode/Cursor integrated version) and 5.2-Codex version are compared, it becomes clear that these two are entirely different in logic.

The general version of 5.2 has a fatal flaw—verbose and full of boastfulness, claiming the top spot among all OpenCode models. Honestly, that style is like the most annoying colleague.

But 5.2-Codex is specifically optimized for code completion, with professionalism dialed up to the max. Except for the occasional套路句式 like "Would you like me to..." popping up, you almost can't see any traces of ChatGPT. The code generation logic is clearer, with stronger contextual understanding, and the development experience is on a completely different level.

Really, after using Codex, you truly understand what smoothness means. The verbose style of the general version is immediately off-putting. 5.2 - Once Codex is released, you'll understand right away. Without its unnecessary chatter, I can seamlessly continue the next sentence. This is the way it should be.

Ah, I told you, the Codex set really works. Once you've used it, there's no going back. Really, the 5.2 universal version is so bad I want to vomit. It's just a waste of words, king-level quality. This guy Codex is truly professional. Skips all the fluff and gets straight to the point. Awesome. By the way, are you all switching to Codex now, or are you still enduring the ramblings of the universal version? Codex is the future. No need to boast, just go for it. My colleagues haven't woken up yet. By the time they realize it, the flowers will have withered.

Codex is truly amazing; everyone who has used 5.2-Codex understands that feeling. I really can't stand the nonsense in the general version. --- Wait, is the Codex version so powerful? Why are some people still using the general version to write code? --- The level of professionalism is top-notch, but I really want to complain about the "should I help you" routine. --- Finally, someone mentioned this; the understanding of context is completely two different worlds. --- But is Codex really used by few people? It seems like everyone around me is still trying out cursor. --- I agree that the code generation logic is clear, it saves so much trouble.

Damn, I didn't realize these two are not the same thing. I thought it was just a version issue. The Codex set is really awesome, gets straight to work without nonsense. That's what I call professionalism. The bragging about the 5.2 universal version is really over the top. I can tolerate chatting, but don't talk trash when it comes to coding. Wait, so everyone using Cursor hasn't experienced true pleasure yet? Feeling a bit social anxious. By the way, when will 5.2-Codex be available? I need to see how much of a difference "not in the same league" really is.
