Was checking my Disk space on C:
Found out Claude occupy around 12.4 GB and Codex roughly 2.52 GB
Surprised me the huge difference on space since i have like 10 projects onto Codex, but so few onto Claude like 2 or 3.
For Ollama i mostly use the Cloud service rather than locals models, since GLM 5.2 is incredible cheap and generous use for the 260 bunch per year
What about yours?
This is a comparison directly from claude itself:
Token price comparison with the latest AI , Sonet 5, Opus 4.8, GPT 5.6, GPT 5.5
GLM 5.2
This is the key insight that changes everything: price per token ≠ cost per task. A "cheap" model can end up costing more if it needs far more tokens (reasoning, retries, verbosity) to reach the same result.
| Model | Price ($/MTok in-out) | Real cost per task (Intelligence Index, AA) | Efficiency note |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLM-5.2 | $1.40 / $4.40 | Cheaper overall, but verbose | Generates ~43,000 output tokens per task, of which 37,000 are pure reasoning — far more than Kimi K2.6 (~35,000) or MiniMax-M3 (~24,000) |
| Claude Sonnet 5 | $2-3 / $10-15 | $2.29 per task | ~2x more than Sonnet 4.6 and ~15% more than Opus 4.8 — driven entirely by higher token usage, not price |
| Claude Opus 4.8 | $5 / $25 | ~$1.99 per task | Ends up cheaper per task than Sonnet 5 despite costing more per token — it's more efficient, generating fewer tokens for the same result |
| GPT-5.5 (xhigh) | $5 / $30 | Competitive despite the high price | Reaches the answer with a fraction of GLM's word count, which for many tasks closes the gap or flips it |
| GPT-5.6 Terra | $2.50 / $15 | No independent data yet | Gated preview, no external verification yet |
This means Sonnet 5 still expensive than Opus per task.
and GPT 5.5 Xhigh uses less tokens than GLM 5.2 per task which close the token price gasp.
Also Sonnet 5 price per million of tokens will increase about 1/5 per million of tokens, so it will keep being more expensive than now

Does anybody have experience issues with the Chat GPT application for Windows?
Mine no loading the conversations, even after reseting or reinstalling not working at all
But Codex is working
