Is it open source? Do they disclose which framework they use for the GUI? Is it Electron or Tauri?

#12> We're also excited to show more people what's now possible with Codex . For a limited time we're including Codex with ChatGPT Free and Go, and we're doubling the rate limits on Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans. Translated from Marketingspeak, this is presumably "we're also desperate for some people to actually use it because everyone shrugged and went back to Claude Code when we released it".
I dunno, feels like the models have different weak/strong points, sometimes I can sit with Claude Code for an hour with some issue, try it with Codex and have it solved in five minutes, and also the opposite happens. I tend to use Codex mostly when I care more about correctness and not missing anything, Claude when it's more important I do it fast and I know exactly what it needs to do, Codex seems to require less hand-holding. Of course, just anecdotal.

They also claim 2x usage from December (though 2x a tiny amount is still a tiny amount)

#14I guess the next it was meant to happen...I tried Google's Antigravity and found it quite buggy.
May give a go at this and Claude Code desktop as well, but Cursor guys are still working the hardest to keep themselves alive.
Re: The Codex App
#15I really look forward to using this. I tried Codex first time yesterday and it was able to complete a task (i.e. drawing Penrose tilings) that Claude Code previously failed at. Also a little overwhelmed by all the new features that this app brings. I feel that I'm behind all the fancy new tools.
Re: The Codex App
#16Is there any marked difference or benefit over Claude Code?
Re: The Codex App
#17Genuinely excited to try this out. I've started using Codex much more heavily in the past two months and honestly, it's been shockingly good. Not perfect mind you, but it keeps impressing me with what it's able to "get". It often gets stuff wrong, and at times runs with faulty assumptions, but overall it's no worse than having average L3-L4 engs at your disposal. That being said, the app is stuck at the launch screen…
Same here. From my experience, codex usually knocks backend/highly "logical?" tasks out of the park while fairly basic front-end/UI tasks it stumbles over at times.
But overall it does seem to be consistently improving. Looking to see how this makes it easier to work with.

Cool, looks like I'll stay on Cursor. All alternatives come out buggy, they care a lot about developer experience.
BTW OpenAI should think a bit about polishing their main apps instead of trying to come out with new ones while the originals are still buggy.

#19Is this not just a skinned version of Goose: https://block.github.io/goose/
Re: The Codex App
#20It's basically what Emdash ( https://www.emdash.sh/ ), Conductor ( https://www.conductor.build/ ) & CO have been building but as first class product from OpenAI. Begs the question if Anthropic will follow up with a first-class Claude Code "multi agent" (git worktree) app themselves.
