Over the last couple months, I’ve gotten the impression that OAI does indeed have the better infra setup and team, not just more capacity.

I don’t think Codex’s 99.98% uptime vs Claude Code’s 99.44%, is just due to OAI having more hardware to run it on.

OAI 100% has a stronger engineering culture than Anthropic. You can see it in the evolution of Codex vs Claude Code as well.

Having more servers does help more than you think though. us-east-1 is the AWS region with the most downtime by a large margin simply because it’s the region with the highest demand.

Having too much demand on limited servers means that less of those servers are going to be available for redundancy.

Isn't us-east-1 also an early rollout region for new stuff as well?

When I worked there no, we wouldn’t test in the most popular region first.
