Frontier reasoning in the terminal

OpenAI's answer to Claude Code . Not be confused with Codex CLI by Microsoft, nor OpenAI Codex, which was launched in 2021 !
I appreciate the CLI integration for devs! 😄
I thought it would be a code editor like Cursor.
This sounds like a seriously powerful tool for devs who live in the terminal. Combining ChatGPT-level reasoning with real execution, file manipulation, and version control could really streamline workflows. Excited to see how this evolves for hands-on coding environments!
Codex keeps shipping new features, but compared to Claude Code's CLI agent, it still lacks that "let the agent handle it" autonomy for multi-step tasks. Hope the team closes the gap soon — healthy competition benefits all developers.
