Observation
Clerk's Jeff Escalante, a daily Codex app user, calls T3 Code his most promising bet: almost the same as Codex, but open source and not tied to GPT models.
- Takeaway
- For a Codex user, T3 Code's draw is that it is almost exactly the same as Codex while being open source and supporting models beyond GPT. That's Jeff Escalante's own evaluation, and he describes no team rollout.
- What happened
- Escalante works in the Codex desktop app day to day. Asked where he would bet next, he names T3 Code, because it is almost exactly the same as Codex, which he uses and likes, while being open source and not pinned to GPT models only. He describes no team rollout of it.
