Latest updates to Codex, OpenAI’s coding agent

January 2026 December 2025 November 2025 October 2025 September 2025 August 2025 June 2025 May 2025

January 2026

  • Codex CLI 0.80.0 

    $ npm install -g @openai/codex@0.80.0
    View details

    New Features

    • Add conversation/thread fork endpoints in the protocol and app server so clients can branch a session into a new thread. (#8866)
    • Expose requirements via requirement/list so clients can read requirements.toml and adjust agent-mode UX. (#8800)
    • Introduce metrics capabilities with additional counters for observability. (#8318, #8910)
    • Add elevated sandbox onboarding with prompts for upgrade/degraded mode plus the /elevate-sandbox command. (#8789)
    • Allow explicit skill invocations through v2 API user input. (#8864)

    Bug Fixes

    • Codex CLI subprocesses again inherit env vars like LD_LIBRARY_PATH/DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to avoid runtime issues. As explained in #8945, failure to pass along these environment variables to subprocesses that expect them (notably GPU-related ones), was causing 10x+ performance regressions! (#8951)
    • /review <instructions> in TUI/TUI2 now launches the review flow instead of sending plain text. (#8823)
    • Patch approval “allow this session” now sticks for previously approved files. (#8451)
    • Model upgrade prompt now appears even if the current model is hidden from the picker. (#8802)
    • Windows paste handling now supports non-ASCII multiline input reliably. (#8774)
    • Git apply path parsing now handles quoted/escaped paths and /dev/null correctly to avoid misclassified changes. (#8824)

    Documentation

    • App-server README now documents skills support and usage. (#8853)
    • Skill-creator docs clarify YAML frontmatter formatting and quoting rules. (#8610)

  • Codex CLI 0.79.0 

    $ npm install -g @openai/codex@0.79.0
    View details

    New Features

    • Add multi-conversation “agent control” so a session can spawn or message other conversations programmatically (#8783, #8788)
    • Add app-server thread/rollback so IDE clients can undo the last N turns without rewriting history (#8454)
    • Add web_search_cached to enable cached-only Web Search results as a safer alternative to live requests (#8795)
    • Allow global exec flags (model/json/sandbox toggles, etc.) to be passed after codex exec resume (#8440)
    • Show time/version-targeted announcement tips in the TUI, driven by a TOML file in the repo (#8752)
    • Add an [analytics] enabled=... config section to control analytics behavior (#8350)

    Bug Fixes

    • Fix TUI2 transcripts so streamed markdown reflows on resize and copy/paste preserves soft wraps (#8761)
    • Make apply_patch parsing tolerant of whitespace-padded *** Begin Patch / *** End Patch markers (#8746)
    • Render paths relative to the current working directory before checking git roots, improving output in non-git workspaces (#8771)
    • Prevent CODEX_MANAGED_CONFIG_PATH from overriding managed config in production, closing a policy bypass (#8762)
    • Ensure app-server conversations respect the config passed in by the client (#8765)
    • Reduce TUI UX glitches: suppress popups when browsing input history, fix copy “pill” rendering, and clear background terminals on interrupt (#8772, #8777, #8786)

    Documentation

    • Clarify onboarding/login guidance for headless/remote setups by steering users to codex login --device-auth (#8753)
    • Update model examples used in tooling/config to current gpt-5.2 naming (#8566)

    Chores

    • Refactor skills discovery to use the config layer stack so all configured skill folders are considered (#8497)
    • Auto-populate GitHub release notes at release creation time (#8799)
    • Add more apply_patch test scenarios to harden coverage (#8230)
    • Tweak unified exec event emission to only send “begin” when a PTY is present (#8780)

    Changelog

    Full Changelog: rust-v0.78.0...rust-v0.79.0

    Full release on Github

  • Codex CLI 0.78.0 

    $ npm install -g @openai/codex@0.78.0
    View details

    New Features

    • Add Ctrl+G to open the current prompt in your configured external editor ($VISUAL/$EDITOR) and sync edits back into the TUI. (#7606)
    • Support project-aware config layering: load repo-local .codex/config.toml, honor configurable project_root_markers, and merge that with system config like /etc/codex/config.toml. (#8354, #8359, #8461)
    • Support enterprise-managed configuration requirements on macOS via an MDM-provided TOML payload. (#8743)
    • Improve tui2 transcript navigation with multi-click selection, a copy shortcut/affordance, and a draggable auto-hiding scrollbar. (#8462, #8471, #8728)
    • Start Windows PowerShell sessions in UTF-8 mode to reduce encoding-related prompt/output issues. (#7902)
    • Exec policy rules can now include human-readable justifications, and policy loading follows the unified config-layer stack. (#8349, #8453, #8751)

    Bug Fixes

    • Fix failures when the model returns multiple tool calls in a single turn by emitting tool calls in the format the Chat Completions API expects. (#8556)
    • Make /review compute diffs from the session’s working directory so base-branch detection works correctly with runtime cwd overrides. (#8738)
    • Handle the legacy Chat Completions streaming terminator cleanly to avoid spurious SSE parse errors. (#8708)
    • Fix a set of tui2 rendering/input edge cases (screen corruption, scroll stickiness, and selection/copy correctness). (#8463, #8695, #8449)
    • Improve diagnostics when ripgrep download fails during CLI packaging so failures are easier to debug. (#8486)
    • Avoid a panic when parsing alpha/stable version strings. (#8406)

    Documentation

    • Replace and de-duplicate user docs with links to the developer documentation site (including skills docs). (#8662, #8407)
    • Clarify configuration documentation, including the developer_instructions option. (#8376, #8701)
    • Fix broken README links. (#8682)

    Chores

  • Agent skills in Codex

    Codex now supports agent skills: reusable bundles of instructions (plus optional scripts and resources) that help Codex reliably complete specific tasks.

    Skills are available in both the Codex CLI and IDE extensions.

    You can invoke a skill explicitly by typing $skill-name (for example, $skill-installer or the experimental $create-plan skill after installing it), or let Codex select a skill automatically based on your prompt.

    Learn more in the skills documentation.

    Folder-based standard (agentskills.io)

    Following the open agent skills specification, a skill is a folder with a required SKILL.md and optional supporting files:

    my-skill/
  SKILL.md       # Required: instructions + metadata
  scripts/       # Optional: executable code
  references/    # Optional: documentation
  assets/        # Optional: templates, resources

    Install skills per-user or per-repo

    You can install skills for just yourself in ~/.codex/skills, or for everyone on a project by checking them into .codex/skills in the repository.

    Codex also ships with a few built-in system skills to get started, including $skill-creator and $skill-installer. The $create-plan skill is experimental and needs to be installed (for example: $skill-installer install https://github.com/openai/skills/tree/main/skills/.experimental/create-plan).

    Curated skills directory

    Codex ships with a small curated set of skills inspired by popular workflows at OpenAI. Install them with $skill-installer, and expect more over time.

  • Introducing GPT-5.2-Codex

    Today we are releasing GPT-5.2-Codex, the most advanced agentic coding model yet for complex, real-world software engineering.

    GPT-5.2-Codex is a version of GPT-5.2 further optimized for agentic coding in Codex, including improvements on long-horizon work through context compaction, stronger performance on large code changes like refactors and migrations, improved performance in Windows environments, and significantly stronger cybersecurity capabilities.

    Starting today, the CLI and IDE Extension will default to gpt-5.2-codex for users who are signed in with ChatGPT. API access for the model will come soon.

    If you have a model specified in your config.toml configuration file, you can instead try out gpt-5.2-codex for a new Codex CLI session using:

    codex --model gpt-5.2-codex

    You can also use the /model slash command in the CLI. In the Codex IDE Extension you can select GPT-5.2-Codex from the dropdown menu.

    If you want to switch for all sessions, you can change your default model to gpt-5.2-codex by updating your config.toml configuration file:

    model = "gpt-5.2-codex”

    • Execpolicy: TUI can whitelist command prefixes after an approval, sandbox denials propose an amendment you can accept, shell MCP now runs execpolicy so MCP tools follow the same rules, and
      fallback checks inspect each pipeline segment so unsafe tails (e.g., | rm -rf) are still caught (#7033, #7543, #7609, #7653, #7544).
    • Unified exec & shell stability: status line shows clearer progress, Windows unified-exec crash fixed, long commands wrap without breaking layout, and SSE/session cleanup reduces stuck or
      dangling sessions after tool calls (#7563, #7620, #7655, #7594, #7592).
    • TUI updates: cross-platform shortcut handling is consistent (Ctrl+N/P and list selection now work everywhere), so navigation matches between overlays, lists, and text areas (#7583, #7629).
    • Apply-patch: Windows CRLF line endings are preserved, new e2e scenarios cover more patch shapes, and Windows-specific test coverage reduces regressions in patch flows (#7515, #7567, #7554). Thanks to @cnaples79 who contributed the core part of this fix!
    • Cloud exec: codex cloud exec accepts --branch for remote runs and now exposes status/diff/apply flows so you can inspect and apply changes from the cloud path (#7602, #7614).
    • Signing: Linux artifacts are signed via sigstore. (#7674).
    • General fixes: parallel tool-call chat now returns correctly, ghost snapshot tokens aren’t billed, missing tool names no longer crash the litellm proxy, and migration prompts use HTTPS links
      (#7634, #7638, #7724, #7705).

    View details

    Features

    • Threads and turns now include git info, current working directory, CLI version, source metadata, and propagate thread and turn IDs on every item and error. They emit new notifications for diffs, plan updates, token-usage changes, and compaction events. File-change items provide output deltas, and ImageView items render images inline.
    • Review flow is enhanced with a detached review mode, explicit enter and exit events, review thread IDs, and review history remains visible after rollout filtering changes.
    • Execution gains an experimental “exp” model, unified exec pruning to limit session bloat, per-run custom environment injection, policy-approved command bypass, and Windows protections that flag risky browser or URL launches. History lookup now works on Windows and WSL, and model selection honors use_model.
    • Safety defaults improve via consolidated world-writable scanning and workspace-write enforcement of read-only .git directories. Sandbox assessment and approval flows align with trust policies.
    • MCP and shell tooling add shell-tool MCP login support, explicit capability declaration, sandbox awareness, publication to npm, and MCP elicitations. The rmcp client is upgraded to 0.10.0 for modern notifications.
    • Observability increases as command items expose process IDs and threads and turns emit token-usage and compaction events. Feedback metadata captures source information.
    • Tooling and ops gain follow-up v2 in the app-server test client, new config management utilities, and refreshed approvals documentation and quickstart placement.

    Bug fixes

    • PowerShell apply_patch parsing is corrected, and apply_patch tests now cover shell_command behavior.
    • Sandbox assessment regression is fixed, policy-approved commands are honored, dangerous-command checks are tightened on Windows, and workspace-write enforces .git read-only.
    • MCP startup tolerates missing type fields, stream error messages are clarified, and rmcp nix output hash issues are resolved.
    • Delegate cancellation no longer hangs unified exec, early-exit sessions are cleaned up, and duplicate “waited” renderings are suppressed.
    • recent_commits with limit zero now returns zero, and the NetBSD process-hardening build is unblocked.
    • Review rollout filtering is disabled so history shows, approval presets respect workspace-write, /approvals trust detection is corrected, and sandbox command assessment edge cases are fixed.
    • Compaction accounts for encrypted reasoning, handles token budgets accurately, and emits reliable token-usage and compaction events.
    • TTY stdin is required, WSL clipboard paths are normalized, and stale conversations are dropped on /new to avoid conflicts.
    • Custom prompt expansion with large pastes is fixed, example-config mistakes are corrected, and relative links and streamable_shell references are cleaned up. Upgrade messaging is corrected.
    • Windows sandbox treats <workspace_root>/.git as read-only, and risky browser launches are flagged before execution.
    • CLA allowlist now includes dependabot variants, and enterprises can skip upgrade checks and messages.
    • Flaky tests are stabilized, session recycling is improved, and rollout session initialization surfaces errors for diagnosis.

    Maintenance

    • Security and CI add cargo-audit and cargo-deny. GitHub Actions are updated to checkout v6 and upload-artifact v5. macOS 13 builds are dropped. A flaky Ubuntu variant is skipped. The next_minor_version script now resets the patch number correctly.
    • Dependencies are updated: libc 0.2.177, webbrowser 1.0.6, regex 1.12.2, toml_edit 0.23.5, arboard 3.6.1, serde_with 3.16.1, image 0.25.9, reqwest 0.12.24, tracing 0.1.43, and rmcp 0.10.0.
    • Documentation is refreshed: approvals and config guidance, codex max and xhigh defaults, example-config fixes, CLA guidance, and removal of streamable_shell references.

November 2025

  • Usage and credits fixes

    Minor updates to address a few issues with Codex usage and credits:

    • Adjusted all usage dashboards to show “limits remaining” for consistency. The CLI previously displayed “limits used.”
    • Fixed an issue preventing users from buying credits if their ChatGPT subscription was purchased via iOS or Google Play.
    • Fixed an issue where the CLI could display stale usage information; it now refreshes without needing to send a message first.
    • Optimized the backend to help smooth out usage throughout the day, irrespective of overall Codex load or how traffic is routed. Before, users could get unlucky and hit a few cache misses in a row, leading to much less usage.

  • Introducing GPT-5.1-Codex-Max

    Today we are releasing GPT-5.1-Codex-Max, our new frontier agentic coding model.

    GPT‑5.1-Codex-Max is built on an update to our foundational reasoning model, which is trained on agentic tasks across software engineering, math, research, and more. GPT‑5.1-Codex-Max is faster, more intelligent, and more token-efficient at every stage of the development cycle–and a new step towards becoming a reliable coding partner.

    Starting today, the CLI and IDE Extension will default to gpt-5.1-codex-max for users that are signed in with ChatGPT. API access for the model will come soon.

    For non-latency-sensitive tasks, we’ve also added a new Extra High (xhigh) reasoning effort, which lets the model think for an even longer period of time for a better answer. We still recommend medium as your daily driver for most tasks.

    If you have a model specified in your config.toml configuration file, you can instead try out gpt-5.1-codex-max for a new Codex CLI session using:

    codex --model gpt-5.1-codex-max

    You can also use the /model slash command in the CLI. In the Codex IDE Extension you can select GPT-5.1-Codex from the dropdown menu.

    If you want to switch for all sessions, you can change your default model to gpt-5.1-codex-max by updating your config.toml configuration file:

    model = "gpt-5.1-codex-max”

  • Introducing GPT-5.1-Codex and GPT-5.1-Codex-Mini

    Along with the GPT-5.1 launch in the API, we are introducing new gpt-5.1-codex-mini and gpt-5.1-codex model options in Codex, a version of GPT-5.1 optimized for long-running, agentic coding tasks and use in coding agent harnesses in Codex or Codex-like harnesses.

    Starting today, the CLI and IDE Extension will default to gpt-5.1-codex on macOS and Linux and gpt-5.1 on Windows.

    If you have a model specified in your config.toml configuration file, you can instead try out gpt-5.1-codex for a new Codex CLI session using:

    codex --model gpt-5.1-codex

    You can also use the /model slash command in the CLI. In the Codex IDE Extension you can select GPT-5.1-Codex from the dropdown menu.

    If you want to switch for all sessions, you can change your default model to gpt-5.1-codex by updating your config.toml configuration file:

    model = "gpt-5.1-codex”

  • Introducing GPT-5-Codex-Mini

    Today we are introducing a new gpt-5-codex-mini model option to Codex CLI and the IDE Extension. The model is a smaller, more cost-effective, but less capable version of gpt-5-codex that provides approximately 4x more usage as part of your ChatGPT subscription.

    Starting today, the CLI and IDE Extension will automatically suggest switching to gpt-5-codex-mini when you reach 90% of your 5-hour usage limit, to help you work longer without interruptions.

    You can try the model for a new Codex CLI session using:

    codex --model gpt-5-codex-mini

    You can also use the /model slash command in the CLI. In the Codex IDE Extension you can select GPT-5-Codex-Mini from the dropdown menu.

    Alternatively, you can change your default model to gpt-5-codex-mini by updating your config.toml configuration file:

    model = "gpt-5-codex-mini”

  • GPT-5-Codex model update

    We’ve shipped a minor update to GPT-5-Codex:

    • More reliable file edits with apply_patch.
    • Fewer destructive actions such as git reset.
    • More collaborative behavior when encountering user edits in files.
    • 3% more efficient in time and usage.

October 2025

  • Credits on ChatGPT Pro and Plus

    Codex users on ChatGPT Plus and Pro can now use on-demand credits for more Codex usage beyond what’s included in your plan. Learn more.

  • Tag @Codex on GitHub Issues and PRs

    You can now tag @codex on a teammate’s pull request to ask clarifying questions, request a follow-up, or ask Codex to make changes. GitHub Issues now also support @codex mentions, so you can kick off tasks from any issue, without leaving your workflow.

    Codex responding to a GitHub pull request and issue after an @Codex mention.

  • Codex is now GA

    Codex is now generally available with 3 new features — @Codex in Slack, Codex SDK, and new admin tools.

    @Codex in Slack

    You can now questions and assign tasks to Codex directly from Slack. See the Slack guide to get started.

    Codex SDK

    Integrate the same agent that powers the Codex CLI inside your own tools and workflows with the Codex SDK in Typescript. With the new Codex GitHub Action, you can easily add Codex to CI/CD workflows. See the Codex SDK guide to get started.

    import { Codex } from "@openai/codex-sdk";

const agent = new Codex();
const thread = await agent.startThread();

const result = await thread.run("Explore this repo");
console.log(result);

const result2 = await thread.run("Propose changes");
console.log(result2);

    New admin controls and analytics

    ChatGPT workspace admins can now edit or delete Codex Cloud environments. With managed config files, they can set safe defaults for CLI and IDE usage and monitor how Codex uses commands locally. New analytics dashboards help you track Codex usage and code review feedback. Learn more in the enterprise admin guide.

    Availability and pricing updates

    The Slack integration and Codex SDK are available to developers on ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, and Enterprise plans starting today, while the new admin features will be available to Business, Edu, and Enterprise. Beginning October 20, Codex Cloud tasks will count toward your Codex usage. Review the Codex pricing guide for plan-specific details.

September 2025

  • GPT-5-Codex in the API

    GPT-5-Codex is now available in the Responses API, and you can also use it with your API Key in the Codex CLI. We plan on regularly updating this model snapshot. It is available at the same price as GPT-5. You can learn more about pricing and rate limits for this model on our model page.

  • Introducing GPT-5-Codex

    New model: GPT-5-Codex

    codex-switch-model

    GPT-5-Codex is a version of GPT-5 further optimized for agentic coding in Codex. It’s available in the IDE extension and CLI when you sign in with your ChatGPT account. It also powers the cloud agent and Code Review in GitHub.

    To learn more about GPT-5-Codex and how it performs compared to GPT-5 on software engineering tasks, see our announcement blog post.

    Image outputs

    codex-image-outputs

    When working in the cloud on front-end engineering tasks, GPT-5-Codex can now display screenshots of the UI in Codex web for you to review. With image output, you can iterate on the design without needing to check out the branch locally.

    New in Codex CLI

    • You can now resume sessions where you left off with codex resume.
    • Context compaction automatically summarizes the session as it approaches the context window limit.

    Learn more in the latest release notes

August 2025

  • Late August update

    IDE extension (Compatible with VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf)

    Codex now runs in your IDE with an interactive UI for fast local iteration. Easily switch between modes and reasoning efforts.

    Sign in with ChatGPT (IDE & CLI)

    One-click authentication that removes API keys and uses ChatGPT Enterprise credits.

    Move work between local ↔ cloud

    Hand off tasks to Codex web from the IDE with the ability to apply changes locally so you can delegate jobs without leaving your editor.

    Code Reviews

    Codex goes beyond static analysis. It checks a PR against its intent, reasons across the codebase and dependencies, and can run code to validate the behavior of changes.

  • Mid August update

    Image inputs

    You can now attach images to your prompts in Codex web. This is great for asking Codex to implement frontend changes or follow up on whiteboarding sessions.

    Container caching

    Codex now caches containers to start new tasks and followups 90% faster, dropping the median start time from 48 seconds to 5 seconds. You can optionally configure a maintenance script to update the environment from its cached state to prepare for new tasks. See the docs for more.

    Automatic environment setup

    Now, environments without manual setup scripts automatically run the standard installation commands for common package managers like yarn, pnpm, npm, go mod, gradle, pip, poetry, uv, and cargo. This reduces test failures for new environments by 40%.

June 2025

  • Best of N

    Codex can now generate multiple responses simultaneously for a single task, helping you quickly explore possible solutions to pick the best approach.

    Fixes & improvements

    • Added some keyboard shortcuts and a page to explore them. Open it by pressing ⌘-/ on macOS and Ctrl+/ on other platforms.

    • Added a “branch” query parameter in addition to the existing “environment”, “prompt” and “tab=archived” parameters.

    • Added a loading indicator when downloading a repo during container setup.

  • June update

    Agent internet access

    Now you can give Codex access to the internet during task execution to install dependencies, upgrade packages, run tests that need external resources, and more.

    Internet access is off by default. Plus, Pro, and Business users can enable it for specific environments, with granular control of which domains and HTTP methods Codex can access. Internet access for Enterprise users is coming soon.
