@IurySza Good to know! No regrets?

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

Just a few weeks ago I was a huge Codex fanboy. However I'm really considering switching now:
- ChatGPT's Android app quality is bad, especially the Remote Codex part
- Opus 5.5 is a better model than all current OpenAI's models
- Dots are still not available in EU
- Desktop app quality is degrading (example: the "Ask in side chat" feature which is super useful just stopped working for some reason)

@mtrostyle 😂

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

@mtrostyle That I'm not sure about, I suspect you might get less output for similar usage. OpenAI has been very generous with resets lately :)

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

@mtrostyle I didn't use it as much so far, but from what I see nowadays it's more or less the same feature set.
However Opus 5.5 is so much better and more fun to chat with 😄

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

@ajambrosino It would be great to be able to create new threads from an existing one in Codex cloud. I want to have an orchestrator thread that spawns and babysits other ones. That works great with local tasks, but not cloud ones.

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

@faizanke @thsottiaux Ah, good to know!

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

@thsottiaux hey, I love Codex Cloud, I think it's underrated, but why is there no way for a thread to create other threads? I want to have an orchestrator thread that spawns and babysits other ones.
Tried from both web and desktop app

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

@faizanke @thsottiaux I wish but it's not available in EU. Do you know a way around it?

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

apparently the CLI doesn't let Codex select which model to use. Will let Codex desktop control Chrome to create the threads on Codex Cloud from the web.

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

seems like Codex desktop can do it itself via the Codex CLI, gonna give it a try

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

@thsottiaux That seems very useful

We're adding a new plugin to Claude Code: You should Know.

It scans Claude's output for important information you might miss to help keep you in the loop.

Enable it with:

/plugin enable cc-plugin-you-should-know@builtin

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

Idea: use GPT Luna or even Jev to detect @thsottiaux’s Codex reset announcements and expose their status through a static API. Get notified or automatically kick off a big project with Astra to put your remaining quota to work before the reset.

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

Something great with Astra is that it is aware of the usage quota. So you can basically ask it to keep going with a long plan and tell it to stop when it sees that the reset has been applied. Engine started 🤓

Ladies and gentlemen... start... your... ENGINES. We are almost Tuesday and I promised a reset for Tuesday. Among some other things. See you soon.

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

@IurySza @kaushikgopal @mitchellh Great episode 👏

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

@IurySza I'm in love with Codex (both the model and desktop app)

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

The benefit is that you catch important flaws early on instead of at code-review time (or later). This results in a better overall solution and a lot less code-review back-and-forth.

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

I've been using @OpenAI's Codex a lot lately, and I find it amazing (both the model and desktop app).
At this point, I think everybody knows that creating a plan is essential when working on larger changes.
Here is what I've been using that makes it even better for me 👇

[Olivier Payen @opayen]

The reason this works so well is that subagents start from a clean context window. They aren't "biased" by the previous chat history, so they can look at the plan with completely fresh eyes.
