Claude Code and Codex Together: Driver/Worker Orchestration in Production

This content describes a hierarchical orchestration pattern for AI models in production, where Claude Code (Opus 4.7) acts as the driver for planning and reasoning, while Codex (GPT-5.5) performs heavy execution. This driver/worker model, implemented with the BEADS with Metaswarm v0.11.0 framework, optimizes complex development tasks by leveraging each model's specific strengths.
