Whats crazier is that Codex is free. I thought I had to pay to even try it out but nope, you can use the desktop app or cli for free, its apparently included in the free plan. You just have to sign in to your ChatGPT account.

Of course I am aware that the caveat here is that all my interaction is part of training, but I’m fine with that. Even Qwen Cli discontinued the free plan.

It's refreshing that unlike Anthropic's Remote Control, this actually... works.

Feels like a testament to the value in taking time and doing it properly.

Now if only codex got its 1M token context window back.

Edit: Hmmm. Maybe I spoke too soon. Sigh. Definitely _more_ reliable by far overall, but still have queued messages with responses on my phone that don't show up on my computer, and responses that don't show up on my phone.

Edit 2: New threads created from my phone seem to have a little stall-out, but ones that are underway are behaving reasonably well.

Out of curiosity, what issues did you face with remote control on claude? I use it daily and it seems to work pretty well (bar the issues when my Mac would sleep and then the session would disconnect, but that's an issue on my end).

My own experience has been that it works for about five minutes before it just disconnects or hangs. I’ve never been able to use it successfully.

The best way I've found to work with LLMs is another OpenAI project, Symphony (which I implemented for Linear/GitHub and OpenCode[0]).

It integrates with your issue tracker and makes the tracker the UI for the LLM. It also clones the repo for every ticket, and can set up fixtures/etc. I can work on multiple items at a time, which is fantastic because otherwise you have to wait for the LLMs a lot.

I think it's free for about 2 useful requests and then you have to upgrade or wait?
