![Codex update 0.105.0 is out! Despite the fairly pedestrian changelog, this one's a doosie. It's a laundry list of quality of life improvements across the board. - Wispr Voice dictation (hold space to talk) - Theme picker - Codex can prevent sleep on Linux & Windows (I just know there's a joke in there) - Customize Plan Mode reasoning - Many other fixes/updates There's also a complete overhaul to subagents: - New names for readability - Visual display overhaul (way cleaner) - Allow for multi-layered subagent depth (max_depth) - Custom multi-agent role definitions (custom subagents) - /agents now shows both agent names, agent roles, and "dead agents" for auditibility This is the largest single update of Codex I've ever seen! Absolutely massive if you love to use multi-agents. To turn on Voice Transcription, enable: [features] voice_transcription = true Does not work on Linux yet. Well done OpenAI Developers 👏](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2026743879178027416/amplify_video_thumb/2026743822357606400/img/2f-RfwOspQ78vQpu.jpg)

The Codex app server was such a brilliant stroke of foresight that really doesn't get enough love Not only are you allowed to use your chatgpt account with any harness, but you can build your own apps directly on top of theirs. They just make building on and with codex such a great experience To demonstrate this utility, I want to highlight the kitty litter app, made by SIGKITTEN. Instead of having to build the entire harness, and all the infrastructure, he's plugged into the app server for a unified experience between mobile and dev machine. When I create a session on my computer, it's automatically available on my phone. All of the chats you see in this video automatically populated when we connected to the app server. All my skills. My agents. My sessions. My folders. My prompts. They're all ready to use - automatically. Because they're exposed by the app server, along with many other endpoints. It's a great ux/dx that really deserves some love. It's almost like they want you to build on top of their products ;) Btw Litter is great 👍

Nice. Cursor just dropped their new "Glass" alpha, and they're leaning heavily into the simplified coding GUI trend that's been blowing up lately. First impressions are really positive. And just look at how insanely fast Composer 2 is. First impressions? Drop yours 👇

This is so cool. In the next Codex update, multi agents will get a massive flexibility upgrade. "Hey Codex, when you implement this plan, I want you to delegate all the lower complexity tasks to GPT 5.3 Spark subagents" Instead of needing to create 100 different custom agent roles for different situations, you can just prompt your agent to spawn whatever model or reasoning level you want. With only natural language. No config files. No pre-defined roles. Just tell the orchestrator what to use and it listens.

I got so tired of everyone raving about how great cmux is. Panes this. Browser that. EXHAUSTING. And that's because I'm on Linux, where we get none of the coolest toys. So...I built it myself. And my God. You were right. It's amazing. Introducing Limux, a a GPU-accelerated terminal workspace manager for Linux, powered by Ghostty's rendering engine, with split panes, tabbed workspaces, and a built-in browser. Think cmux, but native Linux. If you're interested in something like this, be sure to leave a comment and I'll release it. Special thanks to Manaflow and Mitchell Hashimoto for making this possible.

WOW! I'm so excited about this. OpenAI Developers said Codex was good at Computer Use, but I wasn't prepared for this. For the last two weeks I've been working on a Computer Use skill to work with Linux. And while I had some success, it was a pretty frustrating experience. That is...until the breakthrough. Using accessibility tools, Codex can now control my entire computer, not just the browser. There are limits to this, of course, but what a time to be alive. This Computer Use skill will unlock and entirely new set of automations, all powered by Codex. Demonstration below 👇

I have fallen in love with Ghostty Terminal. Look at this subtle, but incredibly useful opacity trick you can use to show "focus" when working in multiple panes. Shout out Daniel San who showed me this. What a legend. Ghostty config file: unfocused-split-opacity = 0.55

Codex team is back in the kitchen with a really nice quality of life upgrade for subagents. With the advent of custom roles, they have also upgraded the TUI experience in two really meaningful ways. > All agents now get a name for better readability > Additionally, the agent role is declared. > Subagent name, role, and status are now color coded. > Subagent rendering was also optimized for readability > /agents slash command shows all agents, even 2+ layers deep. And here's the biggest and most important change. Subagent injection. Before, sometimes the orchestration agent would continue work and lose track of the work of a subagent. Now, when a subagent is blocked or completed, it injects a message back up the chain to ensure that the parent sees the message. This is a really big improvement overall, and leads to much more reliable inter-agent communication, reliability, and DX. In this example, I used the parent agent to spin up a worker agent, which then spawned two more "Spark" agents a second layer deep. I was able to easily tell them apart, switch between the threads, and see exactly what they were prompted. All of this will be available in update 0.105.0 I don't know who JIF is at OpenAI, but they are truly a legend.

This is what 30 hours of work, a handful of AI bux, and and a sore back looks like: 2x RTX 6000 Pro 320GB RAM (192V+128GB) 48,128 CUDA Cores 1.8TB/s Memory Bandwidth 9950X (16c/32t) Corsair DDR5 6400 ASUS ProArt X870E 4TB Crucial T705 5x4 SSD 4TB Crucial P3 4x4 SSD 4TB Crucial T500 4x4 SSD Asrock Platinum 1600W Corsair XD5 Reservoir EKWB Waterblock 2x 360mm EKWB Radiators Way too much debt I'm so stupid But it's glorious I bought everything used or repurposed old equipment except for the water block, 1 GPU, and 3 fans. Even though I'm not thrilled about spending the cash, I only have about $10.5K into it (not counting parts I paid for years ago). Safe to say I did pretty damn good all things considered. I'd like to thank Central Computers for helping me get this project off the ground. Now that I have this together, my aim is to support the OSS community. If you're interested in running local models, consider following me on this journey. Next chapter loading....

Your Plan SUCKS! 👀 Inspired by the legend Andrej Karpathy himself, I created a new skill: LLM Council. Create better plans, by committee. Supports: > Codex CLI > Gemini CLI > Claude Code > OpenCode Call the skill with your feature that you'd like to build. It will ask you some clarifying question, and then launch up to four parallel planning agents to create a detailed plan. Once the plans are in, all plans are anonymized and the "The Judge" will critique and choose the best plan *OR* the best parts from all of them. Finally, it will output a final-plan, which you can review and refine. I even created a nice UI for you to review and refine your plans. This Skill has been tested on Linux only, but should work on other platforms. Please report any bugs! Links in the comments.

With all the buzz around the Codex App, OpenAI Developers quietly snuck out a new CLI update (0.94.0) as well. And boy is it an important update! Codex Plan mode is now officially released to the general audience! I am very excited about this one as it has a really strong prompt that is unlike any other plan mode I've personally used. Codex Plan mode doesn't necessarily just ask you 3 questions up front. It goes, collects context, asks questions, collects more context, asks more questions (sometimes), and then writes an incredibly high quality plan. It is my favorite implementation of plan mode thus far. It also comes with Codex's own version of "AskUserQuestion!" Although, it only works in Plan mode for now. They really need to allow people to use it in Code mode as well, but one win at a time. npm i -g @openai/codex Below is a demo of how it works. Let me know what you think!

Codex 0.107.0 is here, and with it: FORKS🍴 This minor update includes the ability to fork your current chat history directly with custom multi agents with just a quick prompt. "Fork this session using n subagent(s)" This unlocks some interesting use-cases where you can launch multiple agents that retain all of your chat history up to that point, each in their own independent session. For example, you've been discussing architecture with Codex for 20 minutes, talked through constraints, reviewed existing code, settled on a model. Now you want to see two different implementation strategies side by side. Fork lets both children start from that full shared understanding. With a normal spawn, you'd have to re-explain the entire context to each child, and they'd inevitably miss nuance from the earlier conversation - which is basically a form of compaction/compression. With something like this, you could also just tell it to fork itself 5 times, and implement the same UI/frontend 5 different times in their own worktree to see which one you like the most. Other potential uses: - branching after reviews - try and rollback patterns using worktrees - parallel debugging strategies Otherwise, this is a minor update with improvements to the app server, realtime transcription, and memory. Enjoy!

No internet? No problem. I ran a research preview of Gemma 4 E4B on my Galaxy 26 Ultra entirely locally, and so far it's been impressive. It's a 4GB model with two generation speeds. Not perfect but still awesome! I am excited for the future of Edge AI. Google AI cooked.

Codex built me a full Memory Manager overnight using my new "Teams" strategy. Flawless first test. One prompt spun up 70 domain-expert subagents, organized into specialized teams, all working in parallel to one-shot the entire app while I slept. I've built over 200 custom subagent roles for this. Playbook dropping soon. This is a massive unlock for parallelization. I'll be improving this and testing it on much larger projects.

Codex 0.93 is here, and with it, shiny new features! App Connectors have arrived. Connect to an array of cloud apps directly from your terminal. No config files. No setting up MCP servers, or hunting down docs. Just two clicks, and you're off! Github, Notion, Google Apps, Microsoft Apps, Vercel, Adobe, Canva, Dropbox, Expedia, Figma, Coursera, Hubspot, Linear, Monday, Instacart, SendGrid, Resent, Stripe, Target, and Peleton? Plus more. OpenAI is going for a unified experience from cloud to terminal, and they unlock a bunch of capabilities for your terminal agent. I believe with this direction they're going, they are truly leaning into a complete AI assistant, not just for coding. While these capabilities are not exactly new, they are much easier to install and use, greatly improving the UX for everyone. I for one, appreciate it. To get started, update Codex, and type /experimental. Turn on "Apps" and restart your session. If you want more videos like this, please drop a comment!

I just built an entire app in 7 minutes using Codex Spark. EveryMCP: a universal MCP server installer that configures 15+ coding agents from a single CLI command. 12 Codex Spark subagents. All running in parallel. At the same time. The project itself isn't complicated, but just imagine what this looks like when you scale the complexity. My setup: • Codex 5.3 High to plan • Codex 5.3 Medium to orchestrate • 12 Codex Spark agents (xhigh) to implement in one shot Spark isn't competing with the big models. It's a different tool entirely. You orchestrate it. You run it in swarms. And it moves at a speed that wasn't possible before, even for the top 1% of AI coders. More complex workflows coming soon. Comment below if you want me to tell you how I did it.
