Codex CLI adds voice. The recovery fixes matter more
Codex CLI 0.155 adds experimental voice and safer worktree cleanup. I explain the fixes for lost prompts, restarted sessions and the next-day hotfix.
OpenAI Agents API: what the Codex harness takes over
OpenAI now hosts the Codex agent loop for your application. I explain how the Agents API differs from the SDK, what persists and which costs remain.
GPT-6 Astra costs 2.5x Sol per token. It talks like a person
OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra is metered at 2.5 times Sol's rate and feels more human in conversation. I checked the limits, the benchmarks, and the first reactions.
I'm torn between Claude and Codex
Codex gives me more usage, cleaner frontend work, and a smoother app. Claude still finishes my large multi-agent features in hours instead of all day.
