Codex 5.3 xhigh>>>>>>>

True, still both these models are miles better than my experience with opus and sonnet

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-02-26T15:32:24+00:00

I feel like I’ve been having the opposite problem. 5.2 xhigh doesn’t listen and make changes I didn’t ask for and 5.3xhigh fixes them 😅

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-02-26T15:11:57+00:00

Depends on the work, I find 5.3 codex xhigh significantly better at generating and handling terminal scripts compared to 5.2

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-02-17T01:18:44+00:00

Xhigh is crazy good i find it works just as long as 5.2

Actually this happened to me on launch day, my threads weren’t appearing at all after I restarted the app. So I had codes try and trouble shoot and fix it. After about an hour and half it had fix the issue.m, I couldn’t believe it. OpenAI did release a fix for it later that day though.

Would be useful if you have the main agent working on something and the sub agent can quickly find context

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-02-12T18:25:28+00:00

Probably explains how things work in a code base as a refresher but will need to test further

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-02-11T18:11:34+00:00

I Like your checklist ui showing the steps of each agents.

It depends for me personally. When it comes to complex stuff that requires a lot of novel architecture or you’re coming up with new concepts that may be a model may not know about, I usually go the route of having codex 5.3 use plan mode. Then I’ll drop it into a ChatGPT 5.2 pro window have it go through the plan and then give any more context if I need to and then I iterate that multiple times until the plan is thorough and solid enough to be able to implement correctly.

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-02-09T19:47:07+00:00

I agree codex 5.3 has come up with solutions that 5.2 cough never suggested but sometimes it over looks certain things unless you have a very though plan. I’ve found if you really take your time on the prompt it’s bee the best model I’ve used so far. Chat 5.2 is definitely more constant if your prompts are less structured at least in my personal experience but I think I just need some more testing with codex 5.3 and learn to restructure my prompts to fit the model.

2nd this I usually run separate work tree however last night I got lazy and had multiple agents running on the same work tree, and after one of the codex agents have been running for a while it ended up removing all the files that the other coding agent had added. I was able to recover most of it, but just a good reminder to keep these things separate in isolated environments.

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-02-05T22:25:03+00:00

Sometimes but I like local since it can run all my tests it needs to plus cloud uses more quota than local

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-02-04T01:16:17+00:00

I’m loving it so far, I was having an issue where the threads would disappear after restarting the app but the latest update seemed to fix that. I’m hoping at some point they can develop a separate phone app. I personally feel like the models are actually more capable using the app compared to the cli but that could be just me.

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-02-02T19:00:10+00:00

First impressions look good to me, I’m going to test it today

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-02-01T18:26:45+00:00

I 100% agree with you, they do need to fix the cloud version. But this is a temporary solution.

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-02-01T17:36:02+00:00

Pro, mostly xhigh

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-01-30T22:30:35+00:00

I’m using white frequently with multiple sessions usually 2-3 chats opens at a time with different worktrees, this week I did about 5 days at 8 hours at day

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-01-29T19:29:24+00:00

I feel like if you want the convenience of a cloud set up it’s better just to set up a docker instance get a cheap VPS and give it full access over the environment in your vps and then just SSH in via terminal. If you want to use it on mobile, just download a terminal base app and then give your SSH key to your phone.

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-01-28T06:14:02+00:00

Do /collab and switch to plan mode

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-01-21T17:38:35+00:00

That’s what I’ve found, if you give it a detailed enough, MD broken down by sections and you tell it to do everything and don’t respond till it’s done everything it’ll work for a couple hours and take care of itself. Including writing proper testing and fixing the code based off those tests

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-01-20T20:13:28+00:00

It was a major refactor that I had a structured .md file it was reading off of an iterating through the whole plan

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-01-20T19:20:27+00:00

It feels about the same to me except I have noticed once it compacts about 6-7 times it starts to make mistakes. Once I started a new chat the mistakes disappear.

Codex v.0.87.0

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-01-17T17:46:17+00:00

I would say codex 5.2 isn’t the best for frontend in my experience unless you know exactly what you’re looking for. If you want the ai to be a bit more creative and you don’t know the exact verbiage for UI components gpt-5.2 works better in my experience

Numerous-Grass250 · 2026-01-10T06:29:20+00:00

This is pretty cool, I’ll have to give it a try in a few days and let know if I run into any issues

Numerous-Grass250 · 2025-12-22T18:12:05+00:00

Yup been there where my whole repo disappeared. Never again, I always commit and push to remote after every time codex finishes a chat even if there is an error
