Codex can run Qwen-3.8-max now as well!! Alibaba most... capable model, dropped today and it's already in my codex picker. It's a token plan subscription, not metered api billing. You take the key from your Qwen plan, drop it into Codex Router, and it spends down the plan instead of your card. There's a catch though. Qwen's official setup switches your whole codex over to them, so your ChatGPT models stop showing up at all. That's exactly what Codex Router is for. It adds models to the list instead of replacing them, so sol, Grok, kimi, Deepseek and now Qwen 3.8 max all sit in the same picker and it can grab whichever one suits the job. Router's open source, setup's in the video 👇show more

Codex can now run Deepseek-v4- flash! There's a catch... though. Deepseek's official setup switches your entire codex over to them, so your GPT models stop showing up at all. This is exactly what Codex Router is for. It adds models to the list instead of replacing them, so sol, grok, kimi and deepseek all sit in the same picker and i just grab whichever one suits the job. Deepseek v4-flash is $0.28 per million output tokens. opus 4.8 is $25. same picker, 89x apart. Links in the comment. setup's in the video 👇show more

Grok 4.5 is now in Codex now too. No... API key, no billing setup, no config file. If you have X Premium, you sign in with your X account and Grok 4.5 runs inside your Codex. OAuth handles it. Your subscription is your access. That's it. And Grok 4.5 just got a lot better, so if you already pay for X Premium, you can now run it in Codex for free.show more

OpenCode Go is now wired into Codex!! The pricing... is insane. $10 gets you 10,000 DeepSeek requests every 5 hours (no weekly limits). I converted that into DeepSeek API dollars because I thought I was reading it wrong, and the same 5 hours of usage would run somewhere between $10 and $30 depending on how big your context gets. So one afternoon of use already covers the whole sub. It comes with Kimi K3 as well. Both sit in the picker next to my other models now. Next time we hit a limit in the middle of a loop, we can grab it and keep going.show more

holy sh*t this is f**king dangerous i just figured... out how to run Opencode in Codex It has Deepseek V4 Flash which replaces Opus 5 at 1/4th price You can get 10,000 request in only $10/month along with Kimi K3 and Qwen 3.5 Max [here is how you set it up] 1. install the 'codex-router' 2. Put in the Opencode Go API key 3. Done that's it Save this no matter what. This will be the best thing you do this weekshow more

You can now orchestrate Fable 5, Sol, and any... model inside Codex with one plugin. It's called Codex-Orchestration. Assign Fable 5 as the advisor, Sol as the executor, or any model to any role. Then define the order they work in. Codex handles the routing. I ran Fable 5 High as planner with GPT-5.6 Sol Extra High as executor on a set of issues Opus and GPT-5.5 always struggled with. Done in 30 minutes. 40% fewer limit hits. 2x faster implementation. Install it by pasting this into Codex: "Install Codex Orchestration: codex plugin marketplace add Cjbuilds/Codex-Orchestration codex plugin add codex-orchestration@codex-orchestration Verify the installation, then tell me to start a new task." Then assign your models: @ codex-orchestration advisor: Claude Fable 5 High, Executor: GPT-5.6 Sol High Open source. Tweak the routing however you want.show more

Updated the subagents system in my custom Pi extension... to include: - Pi subagents - Codex subagents - Claude Code subagents The Pi thread can call and spin up any of them, and instead of just using the "codex exec" or whatever, it'll do a tool call that wraps it up in a first class way. Have a decent UI for them already added in as well. Pi being the main thread then having Codex/Claude Code as tools when needed feels so good. A flow I'm already using a ton is: "Implement feature ___, have a cc fable subagent research and plan out the api design + feature, then have a codex subagent implement it, then have a cc fable subagent do a review/fixes focused on simplicity and correctness" I also have a dynamic workflows extension setup and working, but it's not nearly as polished yet. Probably gonna make the subagent system more robust, then built it around that so u could have a workflow that flows between codex/cc/pi...show more

Alrighty, everything is ready 😎 here’s an unofficial “2x... Codex limits” promo from my side for you all. meet DevSpace — an MCP connector app that turns ChatGPT into Codex. npm install -g @waishnav/devspace After installing, tunnel the MCP server over the internet and enjoy 2x limits. You can use GPT-5.5 Pro, xHigh, or High for planning, then hand off the task to your local Codex/pi/opencode/cursor/claude code instance. Or you can just use it for reviewing code written by other local coding agents Go ahead, experiment with different workflows, and keep the feedback coming on GitHub Issues or in my DMs And let’s thank OpenAI for being so generous by giving us separate ChatGPT and Codex limits and by being so chill around this MCP :) Please use it sparingly, only when you run out of limits. Don’t overuse it — in the end, they do have a button to stop it 🙂show more

OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol model can now run inside Claude... Code. There are two ways to do it, and both take minutes to set up, here’s how: Option 1, the official plugin: /plugin marketplace add openai/codex-plugin-cc /plugin install codex@openai-codex /reload-plugins, then /codex:setup That unlocks /codex:review, /codex:adversarial-review, and /codex:rescue. Claude writes, GPT critiques, you ship. Option 2, the proxy. One alias makes Sol your main model: alias claudex=‘CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL=gpt-5.6-sol CLAUDE_CODE_ALWAYS_ENABLE_EFFORT=1 claude –model gpt-5.6-sol’ Bonus: Claude Code lets you set subagent model and effort yourself. Sol Ultra runs can burn several times the tokens of a base run, so right-sizing delegated work saves real money.show more

🚨 do you understand what OpenAI just announced.. ChatGPT... Pro is now $100/month. 10x more Codex usage. and Codex isn't autocomplete - it writes, debugs, builds entire apps. autonomously. if you've used Claude Opus for coding you know the feeling. Codex hits the same way. except Claude Opus limits burn through in hours. you blink and you're out. Codex just got a $100 tier built to run 24/7. no cooldowns. no "you've reached your limit" at 2am mid-build. they're not selling you a chatbot. they're selling you a software engineer that never sleeps and never asks for equity. and they're doing it quietly while everyone argues about tariffs.show more

I’m joining OpenAI Codex to work on the future... of agentic development! At Cursor, I got to see the shift from autocomplete to agents. The next step isn’t a better IDE. It’s an Agent Development Environment (ADE): systems and tools for orchestrating agents, reasoning over their outputs, and making them autonomous enough to reliably complete ambitious work. After chatting with Alexander Embiricos and Tibo, it was clear that Codex is the best place to realize this vision. The team has consistently shipped SOTA models for agentic coding (check out gpt-5.3-codex) and I’m pumped for the future that the new Codex App points to. What I’m most excited about is the broader mission: accelerating the knowledge work economy. All agents are coding agents, and we’re already seeing Codex used across every job function within organizations. I’m extremely grateful for my time at Cursor, working with the incredible team, and I’m proud of what we built together. I’m excited to take an even bigger swing with Codex. If you’re curious to get a glimpse of where we are headed, download the Codex App! If you want to work on this mission, please apply or reach out - we are hiring across all functions! You can just build things.show more

Today is my first day at OpenAI! I'm joining... the Codex team. I'll be splitting my time between building the Codex app and working with developers/entrepreneurs to help them make the most of Codex. As a Y Combinator alum, I'm really looking forward to working with early-stage startups and couldn't be more energized about OpenAI's $2M investment in new YC startups. Despite OpenAI being the largest company I've been part of, it certainly feels like Sam Altman, Greg Brockman and the whole Codex team are in founder mode. I've never seen another startup move as fast as this team does. I'm truly honored to be joining such a brilliant team. As always, it's all about the people... so I'd like to thank Romain Huet, dominik kundel, corey.ching, Andrew Ambrosino, Alexander Embiricos, Tibo, and the rest of the Codex team for their trust. And thanks to Pankaj Gupta, Gilad Mishne, and Will Horn for believing in me, bringing me back to Silicon Valley after almost ten years, and giving me the opportunity to learn about AI.show more

After a weekend of testing and working on something... with GPT-5.3-Codex & Opus 4.6, ChatGPT Pro + Claude Max 5x are still the best combo in my opinion Using Codex & Claude Code CLI running in tmux (the desktop apps are still a bit buggy) and they're accessible even on the go from iPhone with Termius (and VPN) Usually starting with GPT-5.3-Codex xhigh and Opus 4.6 in plan mode, discussing changes and options, and each writing their plans down to separate Markdown files Then letting GPT-5.3-Codex xhigh (or Opus 4.6) implement the changes as the first draft, then Opus 4.6 reviews them with a team of agents (works pretty well already with tmux even though still experimental) based on both prepared plans, fixes stuff, and then another review by GPT-5.3-Codex xhigh or vice versa Interesting that even Opus 4.6 still occasionally makes silly mistakes like wrong imports, partial or overly broad renaming of variables/functions, etc Fun fact, OpenAI apparently plans to use their Super Bowl ad to promote Codex - curious what that will look likeshow more

✨ 3d models are now LIVE on Photo AI... 😊 You can now turn any AI photo you make into a 3d model by pressing [ 📦 Make 3d model ] And then you can view it inside Photo AI or download it as a .GLB 3d model file It's still very early in AI generated 3d model world but it's nice to have this feature working already As always, the models will keep improving, so this feature will keep getting better (like it did with video, it sucked before, now it's getting passable) Next would be nice to switch to .USDZ so you can load it straight into your iPhone with ARKit and put it in your room Available now for everyone on the Premium and Ultra planshow more

1.7 billion free tokens per month. A month ago... i showed you how to route claude code through free providers. someone just shipped the cleanest version of this setup yet… it's called Freellmapi 13,400+ stars on github, MIT licensed, takes 2 minutes to install. what it does: stacks the free tiers of 16 different LLM providers behind one local API. point claude code, codex, or cursor at that one endpoint, and it automatically routes your calls across all 16 free pools. The 16 providers it covers: Google, Groq, Cerebras, Mistral, OpenRouter, GitHub Models, Cloudflare, Cohere, NVIDIA, HuggingFace, Ollama Cloud, Kilo, Pollinations, LLM7, OVH, and OpenCode Zen. if you sign up to all 16 and add your free API keys, you get roughly 1.7 billion free tokens per month combined. ▫️ How to install (one command) curl -fsSL bash this runs the whole thing locally on your machine through Docker. once it's up, open paste your provider keys on the Keys page, and grab the unified API key from the dashboard. that's the key you point your apps at. With this, claude code stops hitting your monthly cap because every prompt routes through the 16 free pools instead of your paid plan. and if one provider rate-limits mid-conversation, freellmapi falls over to the next one automatically so your session never breaks. repo: Free, MIT-licensed, runs on your laptop or a $5 VPS.show more

Codex CLI Update: Let there be Search Whatup nerds,... back so soon looking or yet ANOTHER update?! I got you. Update 0.121.0 is here! > You can now search through previous user prompts with CTRL+R. Just trigger search and enter your search string, you can easily arrow through all matches. See video below! > 🥔 Support for Spud! Is not here yet. Sorry. Maybe tomorrow. 🫢 > v0.121.0 adds custom marketplace installs in Codex: you can run codex marketplace add to register marketplaces from GitHub shorthand, git URLs, or local directories. Codex validates the marketplace layout and stores it in your user config so it shows up consistently in plugin discovery. > Improved memory features, including a new /memories TUI menu with use/generate toggles, a reset-all-memories action, app-server support for setting thread memory mode and clearing memories, and cleanup of stale memory-extension resources. Note: Not working on Linux for me. /memories command unavailable. > Codex MCP got further upgrades with direct app tool calls, cleaner namespacing, and safe optional parallel execution for faster workflows > Codex realtime got better controls (text/audio + clear “done” signals), easier history syncing, and safer file handling. > Hardened devcontainer setup plus smarter macOS socket allowlists for safer local runtime access. > Dozens of other bug fixes, see repo below. Toodles! ✌️show more

I went a little overboard with Codex last week... and burned through my entire weekly allowance in two days. Luckily, my quota reset today. Otherwise, I’m not sure what I would’ve done. It got me thinking: instead of asking one large model to handle everything from start to finish, why not let a stronger model plan the project and review the work, while a model built for execution handles the day-to-day implementation? So I tried it. The result was better than I expected. I used GPT-5.6 Sol in Codex as the decision-maker, then ran Ling-3.0-flash from Ant Ling inside OpenCode as the execution engine. Together, they built a small 3D farming game. Before writing any code, I had Codex create four documents: SPEC.md defined the product scope and the lines we couldn’t cross. ARCHITECTURE.md laid out the isometric coordinate system, state machine, and module boundaries. TASKS.md broke the project into small jobs Ling could tackle one at a time. ACCEPTANCE.md explained how each step would be tested and what “done” actually meant. Then I gave Ling a very straightforward role: You are the execution model for this project. Read all four documents before you begin. Work only on the task assigned for this round. When you’re done, run typecheck, test, and build. If anything fails, read the error, fix it, and run the checks again. Do not move on to the next task early. Ling handled dependency installation, project structure, strict TypeScript configuration, test setup, and a production build in 6 minutes and 3 seconds. It ran into issues with the Vite test config, a TS6310 error, and a missing jsdom dependency along the way. Instead of stopping at the first error, it kept reading the logs and fixing the problems until all three checks passed. The speed was honestly hard to believe. If you exclude the time spent waiting on tools, it was producing more than 100 tokens per second. That made the whole development loop feel noticeably faster. After this experiment, I’m planning to keep using the same workflow. If the task is small, there’s no reason to call an expensive planning model for every single step. If the task is large, handing the entire project to a Flash model in one prompt isn’t a great idea either. The setup that makes more sense to me is: Use a more capable model such as Codex to explore the project, make architectural decisions, and break the work down. Put the constraints into specs, schemas, types, and tests instead of leaving them buried in chat history. Give Ling-3.0-flash a steady stream of clear, verifiable implementation tasks. Report bugs with structured context and actual error logs, rather than saying, “It still doesn’t work.” Bring Codex back in for architecture reviews, visual checks, and changes that affect multiple parts of the project. The point of this setup isn’t to give AI a big “build the whole project” button. It’s to turn software development into a pipeline with a much more sensible cost structure: Codex figures out the plan, sets the boundaries, and catches problems. Ling-3.0-flash moves quickly, calls tools reliably, and works through well-defined tasks at scale. For agent workflows that involve lots of repetitive edits, production tasks, and tool calls, this may be a more practical answer than simply using the biggest model for everything.show more

I send codex on doom scroll quests to instagram... on my behalf everyday. I love discovering hidden gems from influencers, but I hate this new trend where every reel is: "comment LINK and I'll dm you my list." So I built a Codex skill to watch bookmarked reels for me, and turn them into field notes for: 👗 clothes I should buy 📚 books I should read 🍜 places I should visit It identifies the brands, products, restaurants, and locations mentioned in the reel, finds the original product pages, pulls the actual product photos from the source website, and organizes everything into structured notes with links and any useful creator comments. Instead of doomscrolling for 45 mins and forgetting everything, I have delegated brain rot to codex!show more
