Your ChatGPT subscription now powers an OpenClaw agent that genuinely feels magical to talk to.
Previous OpenClaw releases had OpenAI models running, but they never quite let the models reach their full potential. That changes today.
Personality is now deliberate, tool calls land exactly where they should, and your agent actually follows through on what it says it will do.
OpenClaw is now running on top of the Codex harness by default. In handing the inner loop to OpenAI's native Codex harness, we eliminated the conflicting instructions and duplicate tools that used to make the model hesitate.
What we stripped out under the hood:
- Duplicate tools (no more guessing between Codex native vs OpenClaw versions)
- Conflicting instructions (no more NO_REPLY vs message tool ambiguity)
- Leaked context (heartbeat logic only appears on actual heartbeat turns)
Less context bloat. More room for the agent to think.
And here's what we inherited for free, thanks to the Codex App Server:
- Searchable dynamic tools. Roughly 5,500 fewer upfront tokens per turn, which means faster and cheaper.
- Auto-Review mode using the built-in Codex guardian.
- OpenAI's native plugins (Calendar, Email, Drive) running in the same thread.
For you, the result is a personal agent that actually feels personal. It picks up where you left off across any channel, handles things before they hit your radar, and only breaks your flow when it has something genuinely worth showing you.
For developers, the result is stability. Because the inner loop runs on OpenAIβs native Codex harness, every upstream improvement lands in your agent automatically.

That is the whole setup.
@YoniBraslaver@badlogicgames oh god, please don't switch out all read, write, edit, bash tools for code mode.
Would be in the spirit of extensibility tho hahaha
"pi has 1 tool. deal with it"
tbh i found gpt 5.5 very awkward. It feels sota, but also incredibly straightforward and lazy.
I had very good time with 5.4 High. It was stupid sometimes, but it was reading my mind (pun intended).
Now with 5.5 i feel anxious about what i say + what reasoning effort i choose.
@GregKamradt from this write-up, I would suggest they use some highly customized Symphony-based workflow,
I would also suggest they will productize parts of it into Codex App very soon.
but of course, they will always be a few steps ahead internally.

@levelsio@paulsaladinomd@foundmyfitness Paul said earlier he usually take 10g and 20g when he didn't sleep well.
Maybe by optimization here he meant water bloat reduction.
@paulsaladinomd are there any new data that indicates potential issues with higher doses?

OpenAI can win massively now by *finally* shipping "Login with ChatGPT"
They already rode last Anthropic outlash by giving this feature to top OSS harnesses like OpenCode, Pi, Cline etc.
Now it's time for all 3rd party service.
Because why the fuck not?

Major Claude Code policy clear up from Anthropic: "Using OAuth tokens obtained through Claude Free, Pro, or Max accounts in any other product, tool, or service β including the Agent SDK β is not permitted"
