One major improvement I have seen today, even before I saw the announcement, was that the model is far more reliable in using the Task Completion interface to communicate what stage of the prompt is being implemented. Previously this was only shown sparingly (especially in the first few weeks) and if, it didn't properly tick tasks, simply jumping from the first to completion at the end. Now this works very reliably a…

Wait. There's Codex support in the mobile app? But on iOS only?

Ffs...

Oh since when Codex cli is now included as part of a ChatGPT plan? 99% sure that wasn't the case before. Time to try to use it for real.

It's relatively new - they enabled it ~1 month ago or something.

is this model just super slow to anyone else?

Extremely slow for me - takes minutes to get anything done. Regular GPT5 was much faster. Hoping it’s mostly due to the launch day.

Interesting, the new model's prompt is ~half the size (10KB vs. 23KB) of the previous prompt[0][1]. SWE-bench performance is similar to normal gpt-5, so it seems the main delta with `gpt-5-codex` is on code refactors (via internal refactor benchmark 33.9% -> 51.3%). As someone who recently used Codex CLI (`gpt-5-high`) to do a relatively large refactor (multiple internal libs to dedicated packages), I kept running in…

Small suggestion on refactors into packages: Move the files manually. Just tell codex "they used to be in different locations, fix it up so it builds".

It seems that the concept of file moving isn't something Codex (and other clis) handle well yet. (Same goes for removing. I've ~never seen success in tracking moves and removes in the git commit if I ask for one)

I've been using gpt-5 on effort=high but for gpt-5-codex, try: `-c model_reasoning_effort=medium`.

On high it is totally unusable.

I wonder if this means part of the prompt has been moved to a higher level somehow... or baked into the bread elsewhere.
