ChatGPT Pro: 2x Work and Codex usage alternatives, tested on day 7
The other AI coding tools Day 7 has checked, ranked by stamp: Delivered first, then Partly, Not yet and Too early. Within a stamp, more user reports rank higher.
ChatGPT Pro: 2x Work and Codex usage itself is stamped Too early: read its receipt.
- 01Delivered
Codex CLI 0.157.0
The release shipped with its background server, new models and fixes. Some Windows and Arch Linux users hit startup problems with the new server.
- 02Partly
OpenCode 2.0
The background service and Code Mode shipped as promised, but "backwards compatible" is wrong: V1 plugins and the old server API break.
- 03Too early
Cursor Marketplace security notice (Claude Code extension)
Day 2: independent analyses back Cursor on the failed SSH step and the leftover persistence; the 5,000-user count and its own audit can't be checked from outside.
- 04Too early
Claude Ultra (no 5-hour limit)
Day 1: one hands-on account confirms the five-hour bar is gone; users who say they have paid for months still have it. Rollout is staged.
- 05Too early
Copilot Fusion
Generally available and the benchmark checks out, but "all plans in all four clients" does not: top tiers are paid-only and two clients have gaps.
- 06Too early
Droid 1.0
Launched two days ago; the speed and accuracy numbers are Factory's own and no independent reproduction or user reports yet.
