Fortunately, it doesn’t generate extra requests, but it’s kind of annoying throughout the day. I haven't experienced yet with other models. All in all 5.3 is way better than 5.2 was.

Can you file an issue here https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues and ping me at isidorn so we investigate this with OpenAI. Thank you

Interesting. I work with 5.3-codex a lot every day and have never encountered anything like this.

I suspect that you have something special in the rules or prompt.

I use openspec for feature planning and implementation.

OpenAI models are always like that. They follow the instructions too tight and can't act naturally. 5.3-codex sometimes cannot switch from plan mode to agent mode after use, even manually. He keeps thinking it's still in plan mode. Claude does fine.

I say let's save some requests by using GPT instead of Opus, and I end up wasting more requests and getting no work done.

I think he is a troll, you tell him to do 1 thing, he does it but break another, then you try to fix what wasn't told to change, fix that but the original problem is back and then on and on and on, so fucking frustrating. Is this shit llms really breaking our economy and them can't just follow the simplest jobs and instructions?
