As the winner of the everything app is revealed, I foresee this feature integrated in it. One platform to manage all agents by any provider.

But what if the code is on my laptop? Alongside the tools needed to work with it Case in point, I have a Rust project with a target/ directory with about 10GB. Compile times from scratch takes about 10 minutes. (I do not love this) With this mobile app I need to upload the code to the cloud, right? Or does OpenAI expects me to compile huge projects on my phone?
No, the phone connects to your local device. This isn't "codex web" on mobile. Basically you work through your desktop on your phone. So to be clear, there are security risks (you can wipe your entire desktop from your phone).
Not if you use Linux; app not available yet.

#165Just tried it and it doesn't work... won't let me create a new task as the repo selection is disabled... works fine on my laptop on the other hand and have been using it for some time.

Once you've used these coding agents a lot, you develop a pretty intuitive feel for how they work, what they're capable of, what they're good at, and where their weaknesses are.

You must be kidding me.

Surely you mean grab a coffee and sit back down at your desk in your corporate office, because working remotely while your agent also does so is just preposterous.

#168So we can finally stop tailscale + ssh + codex. Nice

How much better is it than Claude? I have both but Claude sucks up so many tokens.
5.5 is absolutely comparable to opus 4.7 (both on highest effort), maybe even better. It generally seems less lazy, faster, and writes code closer to what I'd write. The only downside is that for very very long tasks, it can kind of lose track of the goal. For tasks under ten minutes I'll go with codex every time.
They've added a new goal mode that might help with that

What OP said works quite well for a lot of tasks, and if you've set up base instructions on coding style they (Codex, Claude) generate code accordingly.
A key point is that after the "vibe" session you should also have a lot of tests written. So they can easily refactoring the code afterwards if there are major aspects you don't like when you get back to your desktop.
