HE FIXED A BROKEN $5 MP3 PLAYER WITH ONE... PROMPT. SAME MODEL WITH OPENAI CODEX BUILT A CUSTOM OS his process: → bought cheap MP3 player on AliExpress → threw it away due to brutal Bluetooth stuttering → hit by a sudden shower thought → cracked open the case to check the chip → one year: garbage in a drawer the AI version: → showed the microchip to OpenAI Codex → Codex dumped firmware and analyzed binaries → built a custom OS fixing all Bluetooth bugs → remapped clunky navigation from left-right to up-down → result: instant, flawless performance the hardware is the same. the output is 10× bigger.show more

OpenAI is set to unveil new Codex hardware on... July 15..... The company teased a custom macro pad (in collaboration with mechanical keyboard maker Work Louder) designed as a physical control panel for its AI coding assistant. It features programmable buttons and shortcuts to streamline developer workflows with Codex.show more

SOMEONE MAPPED CHAOS INTO A NAVIGABLE SPACE AND YOUR... HERMES AGENT NEEDS THE SAME THING thousands of chaotic data points, each given a position, navigation becomes instant because the structure does the work your vault is the same chaos, hermes lands in it and opens files at random because nothing tells it where to start one index file per major folder with a clear starting point changes everything 2 minutes per task drops to 10 seconds, same agent, same model full breakdown in the article below ↓show 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

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

this is f**king insane i cancelled my $20/mo claude... subscription for this. a dev found a way around OpenAI's usage limits and got unlimited GPT-5.6 Luna on Codex for FREE ($0)😳 He built a three step local workflow on a single machine. This involved no servers, shared accounts, or a team. Instead he used a GitHub repo, one prompt file, and a local coding agent. Traditional users pay full price or hit usage limits. His cost: basically $0. Here's the set up (3min): → Repo layer: Installed 'sol-advisor' from GitHub. → Prompt layer: Copied the 'savings-prompt' out of the repo. → Agent layer: Pointed codex at gpt 5.6 luna with the prompt loaded. → Activation: Loaded it into codex. Usage limits gone. usage after activation: normal codex access. unlimited. one trick. one window. use this before it gets patched.show more

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

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

Union Alpha is now in Codex!! The speed is... insane over 300 to 400 tokens a second, 262k context, images in, and it's free for a week. It's a good timing too, most of the Codex usage is basically gone right now. Zai did this exact thing in August: Ox Alpha showed up unnamed, free for a week, built for agentic coding, and a week later it was GLM-5.3-Flash. So what model do you guys think it is?show more

In about 30 minutes, Astra-Medium did this, a Bluetooth... AI wearable with two mics for beam forming, IMU, LED, button. With KiStack and T3CAD, my little fork of T3Code. This level of performance is beyond what OpenAI demo’d and is the EASIEST way to steer the model as it works.show more

Wow! Send A File By Just The Camera! A... vibe coder used AI to build a file transfer system that sends data between two phones using only a screen and a camera. One phone displays a new type of animated QR codes while the other scans them to rebuild the file, with no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cables needed. It is fully optical and local. The system uses fountain codes that create each QR frame as a random mix of file data. This keeps transfers working even if some frames are missed, reaching speeds of about 129 KB/s for a 2 MB image. The entire project was built in one night and released as open source. The idea came from a music project where the developer wanted to share MP3 files without streaming or using the same network. Animated QR codes became the solution, showing a creative new way to transfer files with everyday phone hardware. GitHub link:show more

The first patient with a Neuralink chip in his... brain has told how his life has changed In an interview with Business Insider, Noland Arbaugh, 29, said he uses the chip almost every day from 7am to 11pm. With the implant, Arbaugh uses it to write messages on X, answer emails, play video games, read comic books, learn Japanese, and has already booked a hotel room. The chip connects to a computer via Bluetooth. Arbo described how one day he fell asleep for a few minutes, and while he slept, the cursor kept moving. When Arbo woke up, he found that he had about 10 different applications open on his computer. Now the battery of the device is enough only for a few hours, after which you need to lie down on a special pillow and recharge it. In the future, the battery capacity will be increased.show more

Holy sh!t ! OpenAI will have their custom inference... chips ready in just a few months and deployed at scale by the end of the year! 🤯 Training chip = The heavy lifters that require massive amounts of data and power to build and teach the AI models from scratch. Inference chip = The specialized, highly efficient chips that actually run the AI and generate the answers in real-time when you use it. This is going to help OpenAI drastically cut down their massive compute costs, speed up model reasoning times, and finally break free from relying entirely on Nvidia to scale their operations.show more

A reference sheet can now become a complete 3D... asset and an interactive website. I generated the multi-view temple concept with GPT Image 2.0, then gave it to Codex + GPT-5.6 Ultra through Blender MCP. Blender was controlled entirely from the terminal. The model, materials, cameras, renders and exports were all generated through Python scripts. Codex then created a Three.js viewer where I can rotate the temple, switch between every angle and hide each architectural layer. The result still needs refinement, especially around the roofs and ornaments, but the complete image → Blender → web workflow is working. All from one prompt 👇show more

if you use Codex and you're stuck on GPT... models only, this fixes that. it's called codex-router, open source. drops other models straight into your normal Codex picker, right next to the GPT ones you already have. what it adds: - Grok, Kimi, Deepseek, Claude, all in the same picker - oauth login per provider, no api key needed - your GPT models and Chatgpt login stay untouched setup: point Codex at the repo, let it read the readme, it installs itself one snag: if you've got the Chatgpt app and a separate Codex on your path, you can end up running two different Codex versions, and the older one can choke on newer config it doesn't recognize. if the install looks off after, that's probably why, reinstall clean.show more

We tested a lot of design skills in Codex... and other AI agents. They fix the old AI slop. But they often create a new one: the “taste skill look.” - Same premium sections. - Same editorial typography. - Same generated-design smell. Open Design does not rely on one taste prompt. It combines skills, systems, critique loops, and local harnesses to make AI pages feel less generated and more designed. This page was generated directly in Open Design.show more

PAYING PER MODEL IS THE DUMBEST THING IN TECH... RIGHT NOW i was paying 3x what i needed to for AI inference the grid lets you buy a quality spec instead of a specific model.. it routes every request in real time to the cheapest option that qualifies swap one url and your code keeps working exactly the same openai-compatible, one line to switch, 200M free tokens to startshow more

I love this, so I made a minimalist version... for myself. When an agent is running in Codex, Pac-Man is eating 👾 and becomes all big and green 🤢 when the agent is done, so I know it's time to prompt again. On hover, the notch expands to show the list of running and completed threads. Edward Luo came up with a banger, and I think the Codex team should consider adding this natively because it's really nice 🤗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
