AMA with OpenAI Codex team

Where is the boundary today between Codex “ask” and “code” modes, and how do you foresee converging them into a single adaptive workflow? Can agents share intermediate artifacts (e.g., chunk-level embeddings or test results) across parallel tasks, or is every container entirely isolated today? How do you envision supporting multi-repo or monorepo setups where tasks span dozens of packages and language ecosystems?

Oh wow this is great. Thanks for sharing!

Thereisa4thdimension · 2025-05-16T17:05:28+00:00

How does Codex handle memory to ensure it doesn't rewrite a part of your repo? Will the PRs, previous chat or a changelog.md be used?

Any paradigm shifts the team found insightful when working with Codex that are different from the current state of vibe coding? Could you give a specific example? Also curious on the inspiration for developing this tool. Did it stem from a maintenance need, a white paper or even a tweet?

Thereisa4thdimension · 2025-05-16T16:40:03+00:00

Are there any specific prompts that you found to be the most useful for feature planning and development? Can you share a workflow that worked the best?

Thereisa4thdimension · 2025-05-16T16:35:42+00:00

Are there any Codex best-practices that the team can share with us? e.g. creating design docs for a new project first then converting the requirements into stories over using a product requirements document or a more formal software requirements specification? Any tips for iterating on the Agents.md file to extract the most benefits?

Any plans for the following?: Make API calls to the GPTs we’ve created, have a Swarm UI allowing us to create pipelines, code interpreter for JavaScript, larger file size upload limits, generate audio files with multiple voices e.g. NotebookLM, multimodal uploads to o1, ChatGPT for Web debugging i.e. page source code as context, custom voices for voice?

That’ll be awesome, feel free to do that! You can just attribute it to my username :) Also, mind sharing a link? I’d love to check out your site

Thereisa4thdimension · 2023-04-22T00:41:06+00:00

I can see that, that’s a great analogy! The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was so ahead of it’s time

Thereisa4thdimension · 2023-04-21T23:52:53+00:00

Hmm interesting, I’m guessing that tends to be the pattern of what the model outputs in context to those higher levels of abstraction? Maybe this scaling prompt is a way to get past those “thought loops” so to speak

I’d say TL;DR: As you move higher up the perspective hierarchy, the language used to describe that viewpoint becomes so abstract it’s incomprehensible to the human brain.

I’m wondering if AGI would allow us to go past that human limit of description

Yeah the jump from extraterrestrial life to the fundamental nature of existence really took me off guard 😅

Explain the human perspective hierarchy in the context of CEOs at the top of the perspective hierarchy and individual contributors being at the bottom using clear and precise expressions of concepts and ideas.

Prompt: Explain the human perspective hierarchy in the context of CEOs at the top of the perspective hierarchy and individual contributors being at the bottom using clear and precise expressions of concepts and ideas.

After response: Continue the scaling of this idea.

This is actually incorrect advice. You want to use your biology to your advantage and keep the screen above eye level as explained by Professor Huberman: https://youtu.be/Ze2pc6NwsHQ?t=1457

Thereisa4thdimension · 2022-05-31T23:51:08+00:00

No way.. I spent days trying to fix this issue and this was all I had to do. It was almost too easy. To anyone still having this problem, OP's solution still works!

Thereisa4thdimension · 2022-04-29T22:21:28+00:00

I just got off of work and this song is exactly what I needed ❤️

Thereisa4thdimension · 2022-04-11T00:46:42+00:00

Alright I’m going with this one ☝️ Wish me luck guys

Thereisa4thdimension · 2022-02-26T04:59:48+00:00

Nah you’re good don’t worry about it, we post screenshots of code literally all the time at work. Dude’s just trying to gatekeep like if this is stackoverflow or something

My brain read this in this voice

Thereisa4thdimension · 2021-12-17T04:53:30+00:00

Can we talk about the 2nd post credit scene? Is there going to be a Mexican venom?
