I hope this makes a big jump forward for them. I used to be a heavy Codex user, but it has just been so much worse than Claude Code both in UX and in actual results that I've completely given up on it. Anthropic needs a real competitor to keep them motivated and they just don't have one right now, so I'd really like to see OpenAI get back in the game.
GPT 5.2 has gotten a lot better at building UI elements when given a Figma MCP server link. I used to use Claude for building brand new UI elements based on the Figma link, but 5.2 caught up to a point where I'm probably going to cancel Claude.
Nice, I'll have to give that a shot. I often use Claude for exactly that.
i didnt realize you can pass it a figma MCP link. is this an undocumented feature ?
I don't think so. I've seen multiple posts from Figma and Codex talking about the best way of working with both tools.
