GPT-5.6 could arrive as soon as next week, with OpenAI potentially moving fast in response to Anthropic. Early claims suggest it’s much stronger than Claude Fable and Mythos — not just because of intelligence, but because it’s less restricted.
@GarrettPetersen@mpopv codex: understood. removing the feature flag.
also adding tests to ensure the feature cannot be disabled unless explicitly disabled.
Codex team is aware of reports of GPT-5.5 performing worse for some users and investigating. We don't have anything conclusive yet and systems are healthy but we will share updates as we go.
