Claude Code updates pricing and config. GPT-5.5 Codex benchmarks revealed.
Claude Code has announced updates to its configuration and pricing, as the AI coding tool market continues to heat up. As we reported on May 15, Microsoft has started canceling Claude Code licenses, sparking a search for alternatives. The latest updates from Claude Code come amidst a flurry of recent benchmarks pitting it against OpenAI's GPT-5.5 Codex.
Recent tests have shown that GPT-5.5 Codex outperforms Claude Code on certain benchmarks, such as Terminal-Bench 2.0, but falls behind on others like SWE-bench. The honest comparison after weeks of testing reveals that Opus 4.7 leads GPT-5.5 on 6 of the 10 shared benchmarks. However, the choice between the two ultimately depends on specific use cases and requirements.
What matters most is the cost implication of these updates, particularly with the Bedrock cost warning. As engineering teams weigh their options, they must consider not only the capabilities of each AI coding tool but also the potential costs and token efficiency. The decision framework for choosing between Claude Code and OpenAI Codex will likely be influenced by these latest developments.
