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...
Regardless of that, Codex needs to both come to Android for parity and the app features need to be expanded towards parity with the web page.

codex cli has been out for 5 months with 170k weekly downloads - it's definitely 'ready for primetime' if you can get past your bug. I don't have that issue.
The install errors out after following two basic install commands. This is poor code hygiene on the part of the authors. That's "not ready for primetime" in my book. npm ERR! code 1 npm ERR! path /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@openai/codex/node_modules/@vscode/ripgrep npm ERR! command failed npm ERR! command sh -c node ./lib/postinstall.js npm ERR! /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@openai/codex/node_modules/@vscode/ripgrep/…
Optional chaining was added in v14 (2020), and it sure looks like that is the issue here.
is this model just super slow to anyone else?

Not suddenly, it's been better since GPT-5 launched. Prompting is different, but in a good way. With Claude Code, you can use less prompting, and Claude will get token happy and expand on your request. Great for greenfield/vibing, bad for iterating on existing projects. With Codex CLI, GPT-5 seems to handle instructions much more precisely. It won't just go off on it's own and do a bunch of work, it will do what you…
Sounds like the difference between finding what needs to be done, making a plan, and executing on it remains something to consider and be aware of. Claude Code has been a revelation and a bit of a let down the past 45 days. Some open acknowledgement would have been great, but in lieu of it, it seems it's best to hop on a new tool and make sure you learn how to prompt better and not rely on the model to read between u…
I've considered swapping to Claude since the last update made talking to gpt absolutely terrible. I heavily make use of being able to put in PRs on mobile by working with codex, and if it wasn't for this I'd probably have switched. Excited to see the updates.
Don't. Claude is worse for everything but coding, and even then it's mostly better for coding in greenfield/small projects, and it makes a mess of large projects. The only thing really good about Claude was the plan economics, and now I'm not so sure about it.
It has a very specific style and if your project isn't in that style, it starts to enforce it -> "making a mess".

I don't find multiple agents helpful at all for coding, here you can see i am running a modded aider and single shot most features, https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPTCoding/comments/1nh7bu1/3_ph... I also use claude or codex but i do not find them much useful for what i do.
Where does regular Aider fall short?

Why not Gemini CLI tho?
gemini cli is such a trash it has ruined gemini 2.5 pro model's reputation, now people think it's incapable of writing good code.
Do they have a GitHub action to run in GitHub, similar to Claude?
Yes https://developers.openai.com/codex/cloud/code-review
The Codex support at the moment requires adding a comment "@codex review" which then initiates a cloud based review.
You can, however, directly invoke Codex CLI from a GitHub workflow to do things like perform a code review.
