this is going to slow down releases by a lot
Andrew Curran@AndrewCurran_
Google, Microsoft and xAI have reached agreements with the Trump administration to share early versions of their new models with CAISI, the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, run by the Department of Commerce. They will be evaluated before release to the public.

🚨 GREG BROCKMAN JUST CONFESSED UNDER OATH Q: You have an ownership interest in this cap profit company. Brockman: That is accurate. Q: And you invested $0 in order to acquire that interest. Correct? Brockman: That is also accurate. Q: Your ownership interest in this for-profit is valued today at more than $20 BILLION Correct? Brockman: Yes. Q: In fact, it may be closer to $30 BILLION. Correct? Brockman: I think that may be true. Yes. Brockman invested $0. Walked away with $20–30 billion. Musk donated $38 million plus the office rent. Got $0 personally. This is unjust enrichment, captured in his own testimony.

@CastAsHuman @thsottiaux It's already there, just add "goals = true" under [features] in your config.toml

Two datapoints from this morning:
- Candidate from [big tech company in California] says he wants to stay at big tech company instead of moving to Texas
- Friend running a startup texted me saying he’s moving his company from California to Texas
Incumbents vs new entrants: which would you rather be a part of? 🤠

@thsottiaux Would love for AskUserTool to be available outside of plan mode. Super helpful to reduce decision fatigue.

@adonis_singh Why are people saying this? I really don’t understand. It’s faster, yes, but the responses are demonstrably worse.

this is just wrong, 5.5 on low is vastly nicer to use than xhigh

Best models right now: 1st > GPT 5.5 (extra high) 2nd > Deepseek v4 pro (think max) 3rd > GPT 5.4 (extra high) 4th > Claude Opus 4.6 (extra high) 5th > Gemini 3.1 pro (thinking) 6th > Kimi 2.6 (thinking) 7th > GLM 5.1 (thinking) 8th > MiMo v2.5 pro 9th > Qwen 3.6 max (thinking) 10th > Claude Sonnet 4.6 (high) PS: Yes no Opus 4.7 because it's very unstable, unpredictable and nerfed model right now.

@politicalmath I don't know what world you are living in but sure doesn't seem that way to me.

@johnpalmer I've always liked the word Codex. I think it's a nice fit. Never associated it with code before the original CLI tool was released.

“codex is for everyone, for any task done with a computer”
but the name includes “Code,” and the app icon is a command line.
very curious about the product / naming strategy here.
can’t tell if it’s A) a deliberate separation of 2 products where the new one is for a different, more “pro” audience, AND where OpenAI specifically does not benefit from leveraging familiarity with ChatGPT’s brand.
or B) there’s a desire to pull off a sneaky rename, where Codex also reaches mainstream adoption and replaces ChatGPT for everything (which would conveniently retire both the confusing “GPT” name and the “chat” anchoring, which might feel outdated in a more agentic world that goes beyond just chatting.
or more realistically, C) codex started as an experiment, and then was just a more natural place for shipping these agentic features because it doesn’t simultaneously need to support 1B users, and it’s all just moving quickly, and shipping fast is what matters most. and the name just is what it is because it started as a coding tool. which is probably the most likely scenario.

SITUATION UPDATE: Administration officials raised concerns with Anthropic about plans to expand Mythos preview, citing fears that expansion amid compute shortage could reduce government use, WSJ reports.
This follows a DoW decision to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk.

@pranaveight Buddy, you are doing God’s work with Codex. I want to move my whole team over from Claude. All I need is the iOS app or some sort of Dispatch feature! Is this coming soon?
English
Codex is becoming the everything app for everyone.
My days start and end in Codex now and I can't wait for more people to experience the magic of using it.
OpenAI@OpenAI
Still wondering how you can use Codex for (almost) everything? Codex can help with more of the work that supports the work, from organizing research to making spreadsheets, decks, and summaries.

@TheRealAdamG Now please give us the iOS app so I can Codex all day
English
codex app is trending to be the best software i've ever used
ridiculous how fast it got so good
English
@ajambrosino OK, just please let me know if Codex iOS is coming soon or if I need to spin up my OpenClaw that I retired a month ago for Claude Remote Control.
You guys cooked too hard with Codex and are completely changing my setup!
