If you aren't yet bold enough to install the Codex app, you can stay in the presence of your orange crab and point it at GPT 5.6 Sol. Takes 5 minutes. Kudos to Theo for explaining one of the ways to get this done.
Step 1: Install CLIProxyAPI
Step 2: Connect
Step 3: Define following alias and enjoy claudex
```
alias claudex='CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL=gpt-5.6-sol \
CLAUDE_CODE_ALWAYS_ENABLE_EFFORT=1 \
CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_TOOL_USE_CONCURRENCY=3 \
ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH=false \
claude --model gpt-5.6-sol'
```
If this gets blocked, I owe you a reset.
A little secret. About 5% of our production traffic is on the Pi harness, about another 5% is on OpenCode. Reminder you can use your ChatGPT account in a flourishing set of other tools.
We’ll continue to make Codex awesome, but you have options.
Hi. Over the last 24 hours we had three separate small incidents that affected Codex reliability. Those are three too many and we are taking active steps for them to not reproduce.
I have reset usage limits for Codex across all paid plans. May the tokens flow again.
