This is great.

In the past month, OpenAI has released for codex users:

- subagents support

- a better multi agent interface (codex app)

- 40% faster inference

No joke, with the first two my productivity is already up like 3x. I am so stoked to try this out.

How do you get sub agents to work?
Add this to config.toml:

  [features]
  collab = true
this is for api only
Is it even possible to actually use codex any other way? Every time I’ve tried logging in instead of using the API, I’ve hit the usage limits within a couple of hours.
Yes with Pro tier sub.
Shoot me
looks like i'm wrong
Thanks for updating this!
Try Claude and you can get x^2 performance. OpenAI is sweating
May be a bit different depending on what kind of work you're doing, but for me 5.2-codex finally reached higher level than opus.
5.2-codex is pretty solid and you get dramatically higher usage rates with cheap plans. I would assume API use is much cheaper as well.
people are sleeping on openai right now but codex 5.2 xhigh is at least as good as opus and you get a TON more usage out of the OpenAI $20/mo plan than Claude's $20/mo plan. I'm always hitting the 5 hour quota with Opus but never have with Codex. Codex tool itself is not quite as good but close.
Is there a plan like the $100 Claude Max? $200 for ChatGPT Pro is a little bit too much for me.

Whereas Claude Max 5x is enough that I don’t really run out with my usage patterns.

If $20/mo Claude is not enough for you but 5x Claude at $100/mo is, the $20 chatgpt plus subscription might give you enough codex for your usage
I do not think so. I have been using both for a long time and with Claude I keep hitting the limits quickly and also most of the time arguing. The latest GPT is just getting things done and does it fast. I also agree with most of them that the limits are more generous. (context, do lot of web, backend development and mobile dev)
If i could use GPT-5.2 with Claude Code - yeah. Otherwise slOpus requires too much steering to get things done. GPT-5.2 just works
4.1 or 4.5? I did not need to steer Opus 4.5 at many points. A good description was more than enough
