A user tested five coding agents—Claude Code, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot Desktop, Pi, and Codex—using the same prompt to generate a Halloween animation.

The results varied significantly in completion time, with Claude Code finishing in under 15 minutes while Codex took over 4 hours. Pi encountered memory stalls, and Codex aborted its turn due to an excessive output limit. AI
