I don't known how Codex works, but we can set environment variables and point Claude CLI to deepseek. I think that before slashing prices they will slash those environment variables. After all they are not working to give a free TUI to deepseek and possibly to other competitors. But eventually yes, prices will go down or there will be an attempt at a regulatory capture.
Honest question: what's garbage in that tool? I like that I can pair it with whatever editor I am using even if for 99% of the time I run it from inside emacs. I usually chat in the Claude window and it edits my files. I can also write a comment in the code, press a key and emacs will tell Claude to implement that comment. Simple needs, simple tool.
