    $ npm install -g @openai/[email protected]
    View details

    Highlights

    • Skills: Explicit skill selections now inject SKILL.md content into the turn; skills load once per session and warn if a file
      can’t be read (#7763).
    • Config API: config/read is fully typed; config writes preserve comments/order; model is optional to match real configs (#7658,
      #7789, #7769).
    • TUI/UX: Log files drop ANSI codes; vim navigation for option selection and transcript pager; transcript continuity fix; slash-
      command popup no longer triggers on invalid input; experimental tui2 frontend behind a flag (#7836, #7784, #7550, #7363,
      #7704, #7793).
    • Exec & sandbox: Shell snapshotting, reworked unified-exec events, elevated sandbox allowances (sendmsg/recvmsg), clearer rate-
      limit warnings, better request-id logging, and safer escalations (#7641, #7775, #7788, #7779, #7795, #7830, #7750).
    • Platform/auth/build: MCP in-session login, remote-branch review support, Windows signing toggles, ConPty vendoring, Nix hash
      fixes, and safer release guardrails (#7751, #7813, #7757/#7804/#7806, #7656, #7762, #7834).
    • Misc fixes: Unsupported images error cleanly, absolute config paths, parallel test stability, duplicated feature spec removal,
      experimental-model prompt/tools, and more (#7478, #7796, #7589, #7818, #7826, #7823, #7765).

  • Codex CLI 0.66.0 

    $ npm install -g @openai/[email protected]
    View details

    Highlights

    • 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).

  • Codex CLI 0.65.0 

    $ npm install -g @openai/[email protected]
    View details

    Highlights

    • Codex Max as default (#7566): Codex Max is now the default model, and a TUI panic related to async-in-sync code was fixed.
    • Better resume UX (#7302, #7303): Added a /resume slash command and improved resume performance so picking work back up is snappier.
    • Tooltips & tips UX (#7557, #7440): Tips/tooltips are rendered via markdown with a bold “Tip” label and richer Codex tooltips across the app.
    • TUI quality-of-life (#7530, #7448, #7514, #7461): TUI gets Ctrl‑P/N navigation, screen-line-capped shell output, restored Windows clipboard image paste, and a refactor for cleaner layout.
    • History and context hygiene (#6242, #7483, #7545, #7431, #7483): history.jsonl is trimmed by history.max_bytes, common junk dirs (incl. pycache) are ignored by default, and paste placeholders stay distinct.

    $ npm install -g @openai/[email protected]
    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.

    Full release on Github

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.

    Highlights

    • ExecPolicy2 integration and exec-server prep: core now integrates ExecPolicy2 with exec-server refactors and cutover groundwork, plus quickstart docs to help teams adopt the new policy engine.
    • Improved truncation and error reporting: single-pass truncation reduces duplicate work, and error events can now carry optional status codes for clearer observability.
    • Shell reliability and sandbox warnings: fallback shell selection is hardened and world-writable directory warnings are less noisy, including improved messaging on Windows.
    • UX fixes: corrected reasoning display, preserved review footer context after /review, and the model migration screen now shows only once.

    Highlights

    • GPT-5.1-Codex-Max: introducing our newest frontier agentic coding model. GPT-5.1-Codex-Max delivers higher reliability, faster iteration, and support for long-running, project-scale workflows. Learn more at https://www.openai.com/index/gpt-5-1-codex-max
    • Native Compaction Support: added first-class support for Compaction, improving performance across extended coding sessions.
    • Expanded Tool Token Limits: codex models now support up to 10,000 tool output tokens. Configure this via tool_output_token_limit in config.toml.
    • Windows Agent mode: Introduced Agent mode for native Windows. Codex can read files, write files, and run commands in your working folder with fewer approvals. Agent mode uses a new experimental Windows sandbox to limit filesystem and network access. Learn more at https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows
    • TUI and UX Improvements
      • Eliminated ghost snapshot notifications when no git repository is present.
      • Codex Resume now displays branches and respects the current working directory for filtering.
      • Added placeholder icons for images.

    Full release on Github

  • 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”

  • 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

    Image

    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

    Image

    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.

    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

    Image

    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%.

    Agent internet access

    Image

    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.
