Claude Code vs Codex: The Decision That Compounds Every Week You Delay

What's really happening inside AI coding tools that nobody's comparing? The common story is that Claude vs. ChatGPT is a model competition. But the model is the least important part.

In this video, I share the inside scoop on why the AI harness matters more than the model:

- Why the same Claude model scored 78% vs. 42% on identical benchmarks

- How Claude Code and Codex embody opposite philosophies of AI - collaboration

- What harness lock-in actually costs teams who switch tools later

- Where non-technical leaders are making the wrong procurement decisions

The teams getting this right are choosing the architecture that matches how they work, and that decision compounds every quarter.
