Yeah, if you haven't committed to a full annual plan, you can try out whoever you're curious about each month.
I hadn't heard of OCLP. I didn't even know something like that existed. I had an old MacBook Air and the latest macOS update it supported made it unbearably slow. Chrome, Brave, and Google Drive started warning me they were going to stop supporting it. Imagine, even the browsers were about to stop getting updates. :)))
So I installed Linux Mint on it and now it runs like a champion. 🤩 I'm going to do the same with my wife's MacBook, which is actually in better condition than mine.
Once you have Linux, you can use these agents through the Terminal, which isn't the most comfortable experience. I'm definitely a GUI maxi when it comes to AI agents. They make everything soooooo much easier and faster, and they help you keep everything organized. But the terminal is perfectly livable. You can still make them do the craziest shit you can't imagine yourself ever learning to do. These guys are amazing! They've saved me so much money by stopping me from buying unnecessary shit and I haven't even mentioned how much time they've saved me.
"Curious... it appears Claude Chat is disconnected and context and history don't carry over to Claude Code. When you say you have reached mutual understanding, does that mean that your history with ChatGPT is taken into account in Codex?"
That's precisely what I mean. ChatGPT tries to learn about you without you having to explicitly tell it to (although you should enable the Memory feature in the settings). With Claude, my experience has been the opposite. Every new chat feels like meeting for the first time. Maybe I'm being unfair. I only played around with it for less than a month. So take that as subjective. You really have to try them on for size and see which one fits you best.
Excuse my long rant :)))
