Codex got more speed. With /fast mode, GPT-5.4 runs 1.5x faster with the same intelligence and reasoning. Move through coding tasks, iteration, and debugging while staying in flow.

GPT-5.4 is here. Native computer-use capabilities. Up to 1M tokens of context in Codex and the API. Best-in-class agentic coding for complex tasks. Scalable tool search across larger ecosystems. More efficient reasoning for long, tool-heavy workflows.

"GPT-5 is a step up on a lot of different domains...one area that really stood out to [sources] was with coding." "Not only is GPT-5 better on more academic...tasks, but it's also better on the more practical programming tasks...working with very large and complex code bases." "If GPT-5 is going to be significantly better at these more practical everyday programming tasks, that could prove to be bad news for Anthropic." Watch the full episode on

Kind of shocking how much better GPT-5-Codex is vs the regular 'Thinking' models in ChatGPT. My subjective rankings for the fruit machine test: 1. GPT-5-Codex-Medium 2. GPT-5-Thinking-Heavy 3. GPT-5-Pro 4. GPT-5-Codex-High 5. GPT-5-Codex-Low 6. GPT-5-Thinking-Standard 7. GPT-5-Thinking-Extended 8. GPT-5-Thinking-Light OpenAI Codex team have suggested 'Medium' should be the default, but I didn't expect that it would actually beat the 'High' setting model in my test.

This is the most insane application of MCP I've used. Context is king! Your coding agents thrive on high-quality context. Qodo Aware is a production-ready deep research agent that solves this. This is huge! Watch how I use it in Codex to retrieve context from large codebases.

GPT 5.4 has been released... + 1M context window! Here's how to enable in Codex: → 1. ~/.codex/config.toml → 2. model = "gpt-5.4" → 3. model_context_window=1000000 → 4. model_auto_compact_token_limit=9000000 Run codex → 5. /statusline → 6. toggle context-window-size I didn't even realise Codex had a statusline tool!

OpenAI’s hottest app isn’t ChatGPT—it’s Codex. In the last few weeks alone, the Codex team shipped a desktop app, GPT-5.3 Codex (a new flagship model), and Spark, the fastest coding model I’ve ever used. Usage has grown fivefold since January and over a million people now use Codex weekly. Codex was also the app that OpenAI chose to run an ad for in the Super Bowl. I talked to Thibault (Tibo), head of Codex, and Andrew (Andrew Ambrosino), a member of technical staff who built the Codex app, for Every 📧’s AI & I about what OpenAI is building and how they’re using it internally. We get into: - Why they built a GUI instead of a terminal. Terminals work for quick tasks, they say, but feel limiting when you’re running multiple agents in parallel. The IDE, meanwhile, overwhelms users—and the Codex team wants the AI to dynamically decide which tools to show you for a given task. - How they’re teaching the model to read between the lines. Codex is great at following instructions, but optimize too hard in that direction, and it starts taking you literally—like copying a typo directly into the code. The team obsesses over this tradeoff, and is also introducing “personalities,” modes users can toggle between that control how blunt or supportive the model feels. - How OpenAI uses its own coding agent. Codex lets you schedule prompts to run on a recurring basis, and the team has dozens of automations running at all times. For example, one scans for merge conflicts every couple of hours so code is always ready to ship, and another picks a random file from the codebase multiple times a day and hunts for bugs no one would've gone looking for. - Why speed is a dimension of intelligence. OpenAI’s newest model (Spark) is so fast that they actually slow it down so you can read the output. They see the speed enabling three things: staying super in the flow, replacing brittle developer tools with intelligent ones that can adapt on the fly, and redirecting the model mid-task— especially with voice—so coding starts to feel more and more like a conversation. - Code review is the next bottleneck. Models can generate code faster than ever, but someone still has to verify that it works. The team is exploring a future where the model proves its own fix works—retracing the click path a user would take, screenshotting the results, and attaching the evidence to a pull request. This is a must-watch for anyone who uses AI coding agents—and is curious about the future of programming. Watch below! Timestamps: Introduction: 00:01:27 OpenAI’s evolving bet on its coding agent: 00:05:27 The choice to invest in a GUI (over a terminal): 00:09:42 The AI workflows that the Codex team relies on to ship: 00:20:38 Teaching Codex how to read between the lines: 00:26:45 Building affordances for a lightening fast model: 00:28:45 Why speed is a dimension of intelligence: 00:33:15 Code review is the next bottleneck for coding agents: 00:36:30 How the Codex team positions against the competition: 00:41:24

AI coding agents hit a wall when codebases get massive. Even with 2M token context windows, a 10M line codebase needs 100M tokens. The real bottleneck isn't just ingesting code - it's getting models to actually pay attention to all that context effectively.

Codex is the new "super app" of AI tools. Here's the simple breakdown: Vibe coding + knowledge work in one place: - Cursor: code only. Can't make a doc you just view. - Claude Code: code only. Docs live in Cowork (separate, restricted). - Codex: both, same interface. Codex on complex tasks: - Better at infrastructure - Better at hard, multi-step problems - We tested it across our team The proof: - One-shotted a Replit clone. - Sandboxes. Mobile vibe coding. - 1 hour 20 minutes on 5.4. "The fastest way to do the most amount of things." That's why Codex is winning.
