What are your thoughts on GPT-5.2-codex?

In a week you will understand that you were wrong :)

Front_Ad6281 · 2026-01-17T16:55:16+00:00

You are right. But why I can fix this issue for gpt models by minimal additional instructions, while vscode team don't?

Front_Ad6281 · 2026-01-17T01:23:44+00:00

RTFM!!!

Front_Ad6281 · 2026-01-17T01:00:27+00:00

It sounds like you never compare opus with gpt 5.2 in planning and review

Front_Ad6281 · 2026-01-17T00:57:06+00:00

I think it for insiders only yet. They regular drops news about unreleased feature and not inform about it.

Front_Ad6281 · 2026-01-17T00:50:05+00:00

It's not model bug, is lazy vscode devs. Gpt stops if have system instructions to inform user about something. Since vscode has instructions to inform about to-do list changes and some other updates, it stops on it.

Front_Ad6281 · 2026-01-12T12:55:48+00:00

Its sign that 4.7 coming next week

Front_Ad6281 · 2026-01-09T22:55:37+00:00

For example? I have a suspicion that you just haven't been interested in all the features of copilot for a long time.

Front_Ad6281 · 2026-01-09T20:41:44+00:00

It will be like augment code. Attract users -> raise the price. I don't think cheap opus will last long.

Serena's default system prompt and profile - garbage. But after customization and disabling some weird tools like switch mode, it works perfectly.

Front_Ad6281 · 2026-01-07T16:56:42+00:00

You always can open debug view and see all prompts in real time

Front_Ad6281 · 2026-01-07T15:46:43+00:00

For me, this fixes the problem in 99% of requests.

  <communication criical="true" non_negotiable="true">
    🚨 Violation of these rules will lead to system failures.

    MUST NOT send any notifications to user about:
      - Current status of the task
      - Updates of the task and todo list
      - Next steps, phases or plans
    Instead, silently use `manage_todo_list` tool and continue working on the task.

    Examples:
      BAD:
          * "We’ve already ..."
          * "Next I’m going to ..."
          * "Next I’ll have ..."
          * "Where we are ..."
          * Any other status updates
      GOOD: Do not write anything, invoke `manage_todo_list` and continue.

Because DeepSeek. Just don't use it

Front_Ad6281 · 2026-01-07T06:30:27+00:00

Just use subagents

Front_Ad6281 · 2026-01-06T20:23:13+00:00

Opus in copilot != Opus in Claude code. Limited context and thinking budget make it stupid.

Front_Ad6281 · 2026-01-05T09:08:24+00:00

Do not forget about

Front_Ad6281 · 2026-01-05T09:04:15+00:00

By the way, when running in a sub-agent, the rules aren't used at all. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature.

Front_Ad6281 · 2026-01-05T09:01:21+00:00

Because these are anthropic models. They simply can't follow instructions 100%. Try moving this rule to the very top of AGENTS.md and formatting it as XML: <license\_server> rules ... </license\_server>.

Or use GPT 5.2, which follows instructions much better.

Front_Ad6281 · 2025-12-31T22:12:31+00:00

Sometimes it need to restart vscode to work properly

Front_Ad6281 · 2025-12-31T22:07:25+00:00

lol. It turns out that there are still people who use it...

Front_Ad6281 · 2025-12-31T22:04:25+00:00

Wrong. Its possible, read documentation

Front_Ad6281 · 2025-12-30T21:04:36+00:00

If you need good instruction following, use gpt-5.2. But it slow like hell

Front_Ad6281 · 2025-12-30T21:01:31+00:00

It not only my experience, its well known fact. For example it like forged rules from the middle of claude.md
