ChatGPT & Codex changelog

Latest updates to ChatGPT and Codex

September 2026

  • Codex CLI 0.154.0 

    $ npm install -g @openai/codex@0.154.0
    View details

    New Features

    • GPT-6-Astra is now available in the model picker and Amazon Bedrock catalogs. (#42879, #42619)
    • Experimental worktree support lets you create isolated checkouts for new or forked sessions using --worktree or /worktree, then browse and resume them. (#42652, #43069, #43120, #43286)
    • Answer questions inline while Codex continues working, using suggested choices or custom text without losing your main draft. (#42891, #42894, #42897)
    • Windows sessions can now share a background Codex server, with daemon lifecycle commands and managed updates. (#42405, #42392)
    • Vim editing gains R replace mode with undo and dot-repeat, plus more reliable Escape handling in legacy terminals. (#42194, #42584)
    • Copying responses preserves formatting in rich-text apps, and /copy can copy status output or individual session fields. (#42847, #43055)

    Bug Fixes

    • Existing sessions pick up newly installed plugin tools and refresh skills and hooks after external plugin upgrades or rollbacks. (#42284, #42593, #42990)
    • MCP connections coordinate OAuth token refreshes and surface login challenges when refresh fails, without automatically replaying rejected tool calls. (#42413, #42552)
    • Startup avoids running workspace-controlled helpers before trust is established, and the macOS sandbox blocks terminal input injection. (#42324, #42590)
    • Remote resume and fork operations preserve saved permissions; fresh sessions and forks respect server model defaults unless explicitly overridden. (#43330, #43177, #43355)
    • Resuming a conversation open in another app now shows a read-only transcript with a retry option while preserving your draft. (#43253)
    • Automatic approval reviews better preserve authorization context through compaction and reject approvals invalidated by new user instructions or answers. (#42844, #42852, #43442)

    Documentation

    • Updated the bundled OpenAI Docs skill with GPT-6-Astra migration, compatibility, and prompting guidance. (#42931)

    Chores

    • The deprecated codex mcp-server entry point is no longer available. (#42993)

    Full release on Github

  • Codex CLI 0.153.2 

    $ npm install -g @openai/codex@0.153.2
    View details

    Bug Fixes

    Changelog

    Full Changelog: rust-v0.153.1...rust-v0.153.2

    Full release on Github

  • Codex CLI 0.153.1

  • Codex CLI 0.153.0 

    $ npm install -g @openai/codex@0.153.0
    View details

    New Features

    • Vim mode now supports undo with u and redo with Ctrl+R, preserving complete drafts including pasted content and attachments. (#41941, #42140)
    • The plugin CLI can list, install, and remove plugins from remote marketplaces. (#42150)
    • Set tui.auto_recap = false to disable automatic recaps while keeping manual /recap available. (#42101)

    • Plus and Team users receive an earlier warning when less than half of their allowance remains in an approximately five-hour usage window. (#42142)

    Bug Fixes

    • TUI sessions reconnect after an external app-server connection drops, preserving drafts and transcripts while keeping uncertain or queued submissions paused for review. (#41911, #41916, #41918)
    • Full Access skips Guardian reviews for confirmation-only actions. User approval mode skips background Guardian scoring and prewarming, while sensitive-action checks and requests for user input retain their existing handling. (#42147, #42256)
    • Guardian review history survives compaction, restarts, and user-created forks while respecting rollback boundaries and isolating subagent history. (#41879, #42065)
    • Remembered MCP tool approvals are scoped to the selected app account, and relative MCP executable paths start more reliably on macOS. (#42133, #42117)
    • Rollout compression includes shared histories, codex exec resume handles compressed rollouts when selecting by working directory, and thread forks work with symlinked session roots. (#42039, #42135)

    Configuration and API Updates

    • App-server thread metadata includes nullable model and reasoningEffort fields. Structured asynchronous questions are supported through request_user_input_async when enabled by the model catalog. (#42151, #42178)
    • tui.disable_paste_burst replaces the top-level setting, which remains supported as a fallback. (#41976)
    • Adds the disabled-by-default features.context_management.experimental_mode configuration. When enabled for eligible ChatGPT Plus, Pro, or Pro Lite sessions using the Codex backend, it activates token-budget context, history notes, and the new_context tool. API-key sessions, custom providers, and temporary structured threads remain excluded. (#42385)

August 2026

July 2026

  • GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.4 mini retire from Codex on August 31

    On August 31, 2026, GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.4 mini will no longer be available in Codex for users signed in with ChatGPT. GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.4 mini will remain available on the OpenAI API and Codex sessions authenticated with an API key.

    Switch to their recommended replacements:

    • Replace gpt-5.4 with gpt-5.6-terra (GPT-5.6 Terra).
    • Replace gpt-5.4-mini with gpt-5.6-luna (GPT-5.6 Luna).

    Before the cutoff, update workspace defaults, saved model settings, managed configurations, custom agents, and scheduled tasks that use either model.

    See Codex models and workspace model availability for details.

  • Record & Replay expands to the EU, UK, and Switzerland

    Record & Replay is now available in the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. On macOS, demonstrate a workflow and turn it into a reusable skill. Computer Use must also be available and enabled.

  • Browser upgrades, multi-repository review, and image editing 26.727

    The latest ChatGPT desktop app update makes browsing, reviewing code, and editing generated images faster and easier.

    Browse and find context faster

    • Type in the built-in browser's address bar to revisit pages from your browsing history or search Google when there's no match.
    • Manage your browsing history in Settings, and let ChatGPT search that history when a task needs to find a page you visited before.
    • Use the Chrome extension to mention open tabs or bring highlighted page text into your side chat.
    • Ask questions about any YouTube video in the Chrome extension and get answers in seconds.
    • Right-click a webpage and select Ask ChatGPT.

    Learn more about the built-in browser and the Chrome extension.

    Review changes across repositories

    See all repositories in a multi-folder project and the lines changed in each one. Select Review to inspect diffs across those repositories without switching between separate review views.

    Refine generated images

    Open generated images in an expanded viewer, and switch between Focused view and Canvas view. Add comments across images, choose the ones you want, and send targeted edits without leaving your conversation. Learn more about image generation.

    Other improvements and bug fixes

    • Added a new "Activity view" in the sidebar to view which chats you engaged with recently and require attention. Click the bell or use Cmd/Ctrl+Opt+U to change to the new view.
    • Updated browser settings to show only supported browsers.
    • Improved Windows installation reliability when package file paths are long.
    • Other performance and bug fixes.

  • Sign in with ChatGPT (beta)

    Sign in with ChatGPT is beginning to roll out in beta across select plugins and partner sites, starting with Airtable, GitLab, HubSpot, Notion, Supabase, and Vercel.

    When you connect a supported plugin from the ChatGPT plugin directory, you can use Sign in with ChatGPT to create or link an account with that service in fewer steps. On participating partner sites, you can also select Sign in with ChatGPT to create or access your account.

    This makes it easier to start working with supported tools in ChatGPT and Codex.

    When you sign in, the partner receives only your name, email address, and profile picture, if available. You must still review and approve each plugin's requested access as a separate step.

  • ChatGPT for iOS 1.2026.202

    Improvements and bug fixes

    • Voice conversations now use your selected ChatGPT voice and show usage-limit warnings.

    Powered by GPT-Live, ChatGPT Voice lets you talk through work and coordinate tasks in Chat, Work, and Codex in the ChatGPT desktop app.

    Start a new chat or task in voice mode, then ask ChatGPT to start, check, or steer work in other threads. On macOS, turn on Screen context to share an appshot of your frontmost window.

    Voice is available with Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, and Enterprise plans in the desktop app and through Remote on iOS.

    Local projects in the ChatGPT desktop app can now include multiple related folders. From a project's menu, select Edit project to add folders and choose the primary folder. New chats, Git operations, and automatic discovery of AGENTS.md, skills, and config.toml use the primary folder. Secondary folders remain available for file search, reading, and editing.

    Get started with ChatGPT Voice and multi-folder local projects.

  • Codex Remote reaches general availability

    Codex Remote has reached general availability. Use Codex from the ChatGPT mobile app to start or continue work on a connected Mac or Windows host, review progress, and approve actions from your phone.

    Remote Control now uses authenticated one-to-one QR pairing between each iOS or Android device and each host. Update the ChatGPT mobile app and Codex App to the latest versions before connecting. Connections used since June 8, 2026, remain paired; older inactive connections need to pair again.

    The new DigitalOcean plugin lets Codex provision a DigitalOcean Droplet, configure SSH access, and connect it to the Codex App as a remote workspace.

    See Remote connections for setup and troubleshooting.

  • GPT-5.5 and Codex app updates

    GPT-5.5 is now available in Codex as OpenAI's newest frontier model for complex coding, computer use, knowledge work, and research workflows.

    GPT-5.5 in Codex

    GPT-5.5 is the recommended choice for most Codex tasks when it appears in your model picker. It's especially useful for implementation, refactors, debugging, testing, validation, and knowledge-work artifacts.

    To switch to GPT-5.5:

    • In the CLI, start a new thread with: 
      codex --model gpt-5.5
      Or use /model during a session.
    • In the IDE extension, choose GPT-5.5 from the model selector in the composer.
    • In the Codex app, choose GPT-5.5 from the model selector in the composer.

    If you don't see GPT-5.5 yet, update the CLI, IDE extension, or Codex app to the latest version. During the rollout, continue using GPT-5.4 if GPT-5.5 is not yet available.

    Browser use in the Codex app

    The Codex app can now let Codex operate the in-app browser for local development servers and file-backed pages. Ask Codex to use the browser when it needs to click through a rendered UI, reproduce a visual bug, or verify a local fix inside the app.

    Browser use runs through the bundled Browser plugin. In settings, you can manage the plugin and review allowed or blocked websites.

    Automatic approval reviews

    Codex can route eligible approval prompts through an automatic reviewer agent before the request runs. When configured, the Codex app shows an automatic review item with the review status and risk level, so you can see whether the reviewer approved, denied, stopped, or timed out before deciding.

  • Codex app 26.417

  • Codex can now help with more of your work 26.415

    Codex is becoming a broader workspace for getting work done with AI. This update makes it easier to start work with less setup, verify what Codex is building, create richer outputs, and keep momentum across longer-running tasks.

    Verify more of your work

    The Codex app now includes an early in-app browser. You can open local or public pages that don't require sign-in, comment directly on the rendered page, and ask Codex to address page-level feedback.

    Computer use lets Codex operate macOS apps by seeing, clicking, and typing, which helps with native app testing, simulator flows, low-risk app settings, and GUI-only bugs.

    The feature isn't available in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland at launch.

    Start, follow, and steer work

    Chats are threads you can start without choosing a project folder first. They're useful for research, writing, planning, analysis, source gathering, and tool-driven work that doesn't begin in a codebase.

    For work that needs a later check-in, thread automations can wake up the same thread on a schedule while preserving the conversation context. Use them to check a long-running process, watch for updates, or continue a follow-up loop without starting from scratch.

    The task sidebar makes plans, sources, generated artifacts, and summaries easier to follow while Codex works. Context-aware suggestions can also help you pick up relevant follow-ups when you start or return to Codex.

    Stronger for software development

    Codex now brings more of the pull request workflow into the app. You can inspect GitHub pull requests in the sidebar, review comments in the diff, review changed files, then ask Codex to explain feedback, make changes, check them, and keep the review moving.

    Review richer outputs

    The artifact viewer can preview generated files such as PDF files, spreadsheets, documents, and presentations in the sidebar before you commit or share them. Memories, where available, can also carry useful context from past tasks into future threads, including stable preferences, project conventions, and recurring work patterns.

  • Introducing GPT-5.4 mini in Codex

    GPT-5.4 mini is now available in Codex as a fast, efficient model for lighter coding tasks and subagents.

    It improves over GPT-5 mini across coding, reasoning, image understanding, and tool use while running more than 2x faster. In Codex, GPT-5.4 mini uses 30% as much of your included limits as GPT-5.4, so comparable tasks can last about 3.3x longer before you hit those limits.

    GPT-5.4 mini is available in the Codex app, the CLI, the IDE extension, and Codex on the web. GPT-5.4 mini is also available in the API.

    Use GPT-5.4 mini for codebase exploration, large-file review, processing supporting documents, and other less reasoning-intensive subagent work. For more complex planning, coordination, and final judgment, start with GPT-5.4.

    To switch to GPT-5.4 mini:

    • In the CLI, start a new thread with: 
      codex --model gpt-5.4-mini
      Or use /model during a session.
    • In the IDE extension, choose GPT-5.4 mini from the model selector in the composer.
    • In the Codex app, choose GPT-5.4 mini from the model selector in the composer.

    If you don't see GPT-5.4 mini yet, update the CLI, IDE extension, or Codex app to the latest version.

  • Introducing GPT-5.4 in Codex

    GPT-5.4 is now available in Codex as OpenAI's most capable and efficient frontier model for professional work.

    It combines recent advances in reasoning, coding, and agentic workflows in one model, and it's the recommended choice for most Codex tasks.

    In Codex, GPT-5.4 is the first general-purpose model with native computer-use capabilities. GPT-5.4 in Codex includes experimental support for the 1M context window. It supports complex workflows across applications and long-horizon tasks, with stronger tool use and tool search that help agents find and use the right tools more efficiently.

    GPT-5.4 is available everywhere you can use Codex: the Codex app, the CLI, the IDE extension, and Codex Cloud on the web. GPT-5.4 is also available in the API.

    To switch to GPT-5.4:

    • In the CLI, start a new thread with: 
      codex --model gpt-5.4
      Or use /model during a session.
    • In the IDE extension, choose GPT-5.4 from the model selector in the composer.
    • In the Codex app, choose GPT-5.4 from the model selector in the composer.

    If you don't see GPT-5.4 yet, update the CLI, IDE extension, or Codex app to the latest version.

    Codex app for Windows

    The Codex app is now available on Windows. The app gives you one interface for working across projects, running parallel agent threads, and reviewing results in one place.

    The Codex app runs natively on Windows using PowerShell and a native Windows sandbox for bounded permissions, so you can use Codex on Windows without moving your workflow into WSL, onto a virtual machine, or by deactivating the sandbox.

    The Windows app includes the same core features as the rest of the Codex app:

    • Skills to discover and extend Codex capabilities.
    • Automations to run work in the background.
    • Worktrees to handle independent tasks in the same project.

    If you prefer to develop in WSL, you can also switch the Codex agent and the integrated terminal to run there.

    Download it from the Microsoft Store and sign in with your ChatGPT account or an API key. For setup and configuration details, see Setup, Use WSL with the Codex app, and Customize the app for your development setup.

    Learn more in the Introducing the Codex app blog post.

    Check out the Codex app documentation for more.

    Get started with the Codex app

January 2026

  • Web search is now enabled by default

    Codex now enables web search for local tasks in the Codex CLI and IDE Extension. By default, Codex uses a web search cache, which is an OpenAI-maintained index of web results. Cached mode returns pre-indexed results instead of fetching live pages, while live mode fetches the most recent data from the web. If you are using --yolo or another full access sandbox setting, web search defaults to live results. To disable this behavior or switch modes, use the web_search configuration option:

    • web_search = "cached" (default; serves results from the web search cache)
    • web_search = "live" (fetches the most recent data from the web; same as --search)
    • web_search = "disabled" to remove the tool

    To learn more, check out the configuration documentation.

  • Team Config for shared configuration

    Team Config groups the files teams use to standardize Codex across repositories and machines. Use it to share:

    • config.toml defaults
    • rules/ for command controls outside the sandbox
    • skills/ for reusable workflows

    Codex loads these layers from .codex/ folders in the current working directory, parent folders, and the repo root, plus user (~/.codex/) and system (/etc/codex/) locations. Higher-precedence locations override lower-precedence ones.

    Admins can still enforce constraints with requirements.toml, which overrides defaults regardless of location.

    Learn more in Team Config.

  • Custom prompts deprecated

    Custom prompts are now deprecated. Use skills for reusable instructions and workflows instead.

  • GPT-5.2-Codex API availability

    GPT-5.2-Codex is now available in the API and for users who sign into Codex with the API.

    To learn more about using GPT-5.2-Codex check out our API documentation.

December 2025

  • 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 the create-plan skill from the .experimental folder).

    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”

  • Introducing Codex for Linear

    Assign or mention @Codex in an issue to kick-off a Codex cloud task. As Codex works, it posts updates back to Linear, providing a link to the completed task so you can review, open a PR, or keep working.

    Screenshot of a successful Codex task started in Linear

    To learn more about how to connect Codex to Linear both locally through MCP and through the new integration, check out the Codex for Linear documentation.

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:

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.
