## Summary

Jerry Liu says Codex remote works better than Claude remote on his Mac mini, since Claude over SSH stops when the laptop closes and Claude remote control is too limited. He says Opus 5.5 is more token-efficient as a daily driver, so he uses it through the Claude Code CLI over SSH and tmux.

1. codex remote > claude remote. claude through ssh doesn't work when you close laptop. claude remote control is too limited. 

2. that said, opus 5.5 is a much more token-efficient daily driver. i've resorted to using it through the claude code cli through ssh/tmux
