This looks interesting and I use Codex a fair bit already in vscode etc, but I'm having trouble leaving a 'code editor with AI' to an environment that sort of looks like it puts the code as a hidden secondary artefact. I guess the key thing is the multi agent spinning plates part.

(I work on Codex) I think for us the big unlock was GPT-5.2 and GPT-5.2-Codex, where we found ourselves needing to make many fewer manual edits.

I find that the case too. For more complex things my future ask would be something that perhaps formalized verification/testing into the AI dev cycle? My confidence in not needing to see code is directly proportional in my level of comfort in test coverage (even if quite high level UI/integration mechanisms rather than 1 != 0 unit stuff)

> For a limited time, Codex will also be available to ChatGPT Free and Go users to help build more with agents. We’re also doubling rate limits for existing Codex users across all paid plans during this period.

Is there more information about it? For how long and what are the limits?

They are probably providing it for free for 1 month.

I really look forward to using this. I tried Codex first time yesterday and it was able to complete a task (i.e. drawing Penrose tilings) that Claude Code previously failed at. Also a little overwhelmed by all the new features that this app brings. I feel that I'm behind all the fancy new tools.

It would be nice if it didn't have to be all local. I'd love a managed cluster feature where you could just blast some workloads off to some designated server or cluster and manage them remotely, share progress with teammates, etc. (Not "cloud" though; I'd still want them on the internal network). I imagine something like that is in the works.

I do it with ssh and tmux. I suppose tools could make it better.

Interesting timing for me personally as I just switched from running Codex in multiple tabs in Cursor to Ghostty. It had nicer fonts by default, better tab switching that was consistent with the keyboard shortcut to switch to any tab on Mac, and it had native notifications that would ping when Codex had finished. Worktrees requiring manual configuration was probably the one sticking point, so definitely looking forward to this.

When can I get remote access in the iPhone app? Start on my laptop, check results using Tailscale/VPN and add follow up’s on the mobile to run on the computer. Know many that would love this feature.

Genuinely curious if people would just let this rip with no obvious isolation?

I’m aware Mac OS has some isolation/sandboxes but without running codex via docker I wouldn’t be running codex.

(Appreciate there are still risks)

Shameless plug, but you can sandbox codex cli without a container using my macOS app: https://multitui.com

This is a really nice tool! (Also, I love the old school animated GIFs in the site's footer.)

(I work on Codex) We have a robust sandbox for macOS and Linux. Not quite yet for Windows, but working on that! Docs: https://developers.openai.com/codex/security

I wouldn't trust it. I'm moving to always running AI coding in a full VM.

Is everything OpenAI do/release now a response to something Anthropic have recently released?

I remember the days when it was worth reading about their latest research/release. Halcyon days indeed.

I don't know you, but apart from ai tools race fatigue(feel pretty much like frameworks fatigue), all I see is mouse traveling a lot between far distant small elements, buttons and textareas. AI should have brought innovation even in UIs we basically stopped innovating there

ChatGPT can’t even write me a simple working AutoHotKey script so I’m not sure why I’d trust it with any actual coding. As I’ve done for about the past year with OpenAI showcases like this, this elicited an ‘Oh, that’s kinda neat, I’ll just wait for Gemini to do something similar so it will actually work’ from me.
