The only way to keep using CC for me has been to stick to 4.6 1M

Oh I didn't know you could type /model claude-opus-4-6 and still use it. Thanks!

Yes, and /model claude-opus-4-6[1m] gets you the larger context window. Happy to help :)

(Someone deleted a comment about why you'd want a mobile Codex app. This is the answer I wrote.) 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. Hopefully, you're already pretty familiar with the code base you're working on. Combining the two, this means you can get quite far essentially "…

I mean I'd love for them to take it further. If you put me on the phone with a talented software engineer I could supervise all sorts of changes. I wish I could do the same thing with my coding agent. Being able to be like, "hey remind me what's in that database table ... got it okay let's rename it to ..."

I'm also completely fine if it gives me hold mustic while it's working.

Would make my walks much more productive.

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?

Not sure about how it works with Codex now, but with Claude you can just start a terminal session of claude code with your code checked out locally on your computer, and then enable remote control which lets you control that session from your phone. So basically, it is like you are typing on your terminal on your computer from your phone.

basically yeah. the codex/claude desktop apps work the same way

I was doing exactly this for a while with Claude Code. Very helpful when I'm away from home but can't stop thinking about my project. The remote agent has access to all the docs and instructions in my repo and most of the time gives me a decent draft I just need to polish later.

I unsubscribed from Claude after the performance regressions around the time of the Opus 4.7 update made it unusable. Been using Codex since then, and I've definitely missed being able to make these drafts. So I'm looking forward to trying this out.

The announcement doesn't make this very clear, but I think this talks to the Codex CLI, not the Codex App? (Or possibly both)

For now it appears that it talks only to the Codex App. Some users in this thread are saying that apparently the Codex CLI will support it on the next official release.

Codex App can connect to codex-cli via ssh. So you can use Codex App on a Mac with your projects/compilation etc. on Linux

Thanks for the hint, but is a large context window actually that useful? I tend to get garbage too often with a normal big context window.

So, the same thing we've all been doing already with Termius and Tailscale, just locked into ChatGPT?

I just use tailscale and remote desktop.
