[inland sonnet]

best option.

[spark bobcat]

CURSOR

[inland sonnet]

then u can choose any model per task

[spark bobcat]

For free?

[inland sonnet]

Not free no

[signal tapir]

I've got Gemma4 helping me locally now. It's very weak, but it can at least help em write functions I tell it to, and sometimes simple classes.

[inland sonnet]

Or you can get Opencode Go, or chutes

then u get alot of usage of open source models

[deft gyro]

lol

[inland sonnet]

Opencode is like 5$ rn and u get more usage

[deft gyro]

had to make this graph

because oai doesnt want to post actually important graphs

[inland sonnet]

They said uses less tokens 😂

[deft gyro]

yeah but its twice the price

so lk

[inland sonnet]

Each model has its thing where its "beter" in.

[deft gyro]

I feel like cost is the more honest graph

r we slow

[signal tapir]

I'll probably get a proper 20x account at some point here

[deft gyro]

gpt 5.5 is twice the price

this is not

debatable

[signal tapir]

yikes

[inland sonnet]

You should get cursor tbh 🙂

[deft gyro]

is 125 = 2 * 62.5

[inland sonnet]

then

[deft gyro]

you dont need to be a mathematician

to see

that its twice the price

[signal tapir]

I mean it's more expensive per token, but it uses less tokens. Still, not half I think

[deft gyro]

per token

thats why I made this graph

so that u can see

which one is most efficient per intelligence

no

[unique spade]

Yea but 5.5 uses significantly less tokens for same task

[inland sonnet]

Less tokens, but more expensive so it matches up close with 5.4

[deft gyro]

omg look at the graph

[inland sonnet]

😂

[deft gyro]

r yall genuinely slow

[unique spade]

Token metric is irrelevant to task metric

[spark bobcat]

Do you have?

Ahmmm

[unique spade]

Talking with kids haha

[spark bobcat]

I dont belive you

[signal tapir]

Not half though

[deft gyro]

also on expert swe it sems like a bit of a regression per cost

btw THESE GRAPHS ARE NOT FROM OPENAI

I just took the graph values, converted tokens to dollars

and then re made the graph

bye

[spark bobcat]

Yes buddy, you are the only one right here

Everyone else does not have enough PhD to argument with you

[deft gyro]

I mean tbh if you need to hide behind a degree

it just says more abt u

[spark bobcat]

You must be a really nice person to talk

[signal tapir]

Meanwhile I'm using 5.4-mini and the few percents I have left almost stopped moving.

[spark bobcat]

Now i see who you are..

Work while they sleep?

[deft gyro]

lol

somebody is angy

[deft gyro]

5.4 mini is god tier

[deft gyro]

maybe with the per token efficiency a potential 5.5 mini is in the books?

[unique spade]

That s a decent metric imo

Since it s done on a long fixed task

[inland sonnet]

Calls 5.5 a good model, then says graph is hallucinated.

[unique spade]

So one can see how 5.5 and 5.4 compare in terms of tokens for same task

[signal tapir]

What does the graph show?

[deft gyro]

AI index is pretty decent

though I question why 5.5 isnt on arena.ai yet

it seems a bit suspicious to me

[unique spade]

It shows how many tokens each model used to do that benchmark

[inland sonnet]

That it uses less tokens, are you that dumb? xd

[signal tapir]

Got it. Thanks.

[deft gyro]

I feel like tokens doesn't matter

cost matters way more than tokens

[inland sonnet]

Nobody cares everyone is litterly ignoring you.

[signal tapir]

I think most use cases for me are easy enough that 5.4-mini doesn't have to struggle

[deft gyro]

where is the graph

let me find the graph

[unique spade]

All in all I didn't notice in my case significant variation in terms of usage between 5.5 and 5.4

So the claim that 5.5. Uses less tokens seems legit to me

[unique spade]

What graph?

[deft gyro]

5.4 mini is really good for the smaller tasks, its basically a cheaper 5.4 low when its on medium

or alternatively a better 5.4 low on high for the same cost

the only thing is never use mini on xhigh

its just a worse 5.4 med

[spark bobcat]

I dont have anything against but

[deft gyro]

this one is from the introducing 5.4 mini and nano

[spark bobcat]

I feel a better result from Gemini Flash

When it's about smaller tasks

I feel like 5.4 mini does more mistakes

[deft gyro]

gemini flash is js gambling

imo

well it depends for what

but yeah if u have a gemini sub and oai sub

then its probably a good idea

[spark bobcat]

Ahmm i used to have on Github Copilot

Brother...

Stop it

[compact dawn]

you can now replace your wisprflow subscription with dictation using your chatgpt sub

amazing

[spark bobcat]

No one is finding it funny

[compact dawn]

and the dictation is so good

[deft gyro]

you use dictation for codex?

interesting

[compact dawn]

i just speak sometimes

but you can use it everywhere now

not only in codex

[deft gyro]

I feel like I still have to be intentional enough with my prompts for good enough results that speaking wouldnt be an option for codex

for other uses sure

like for notebooklm I usually speak

[bright swift]

yea gpt 5.5 takes things very literal

[compact dawn]

i mean if im using it to research something i like just rambling about a lot of rqeuirements etc. and the thoughts behind what i want

[bright swift]

easy to misprompt

[compact dawn]

and then we can narrow it down after that long dictated prompt

[deft gyro]

5.5 gets instant context poisoning yeah

[spark bobcat]

For me 5.5 is just 5.4 with less reasoning lol

[deft gyro]

5.3 codex I feel is the mos tresistant to context poisoning

[compact dawn]

you can just pause when you speak btw, and think about your next words

[deft gyro]

do yall think they will release a codex finetune for 5.5

[unique spade]

What a chaos in this chat tonight 😂

[bright swift]

holy sheet, you can upload a zip of whole git repo to chatgpt and use it with pro... 500k loc and it just unpacks it into a container

[inland sonnet]

i think speaking your thoughts as prompts to ai

[unique spade]

Only now you found out

[inland sonnet]

is not the best way

and at end worse results

[bright swift]

yes only now, been using local reviews like a chump

[deft gyro]

vro online code review 💀

[unique spade]

Gptpro is best for full repo audits etc

[signal tapir]

Use is very limtied though

[unique spade]

You dump it the full zip and 10 mins later you get some good stuff back

[bright swift]

you mean use as in usage or what it can do with it?

[signal tapir]

10min? I waited an hour for mine today.

[bright swift]

i mean it cant run cargo, tests etc

but still look at all code and docs

[unique spade]

That you do on codex

But for reasonig about code logic gptpro is great

[bright swift]

damn i must have burned at least 50% of my usage on various local reviews

feel like a noob

[unique spade]

Finding edge cases and all that

[unique spade]

An hour sounds like 5.4pro

5.5 is 4-5 times faster for me

Compared to 5.4 on same task

[inland sonnet]

i'm glad for you

[compact dawn]

yeah if youre bad at it i agree

[unique spade]

Point is gptpro 5.5 has a legit place in the loop now, and it doesn't consume qouta

[compact dawn]

definitely a skill issue

[frail meadow]

Do any of you guys use oracle btw?

[compact dawn]

there's no difference between typing and talking unless you're bad at talking. It's just faster.

[unique spade]

What oracle?

[compact dawn]

And I have 140 wpm fyi

[frail meadow]

This, basically lets you call ChatGPT inside of Codex:
https://github.com/steipete/oracle/

[bright swift]

Well i use it and i built this whole process of packaging up the files it needs with repomix, but now i can just upload the whole repo kek

[unique spade]

Most of the time, once the high level road map is settled, I just repeat the same 3-4 prompts/actions in a loop

[main nimbus]

I didn't know about this. Thank you.

[unique spade]

Cool. But no. I'm using my own. Where I have codex and gpt panels in an electron wrapper and a middle pane with various automations like those

[frail meadow]

Yeah you can put huge zips now, I was just wondering if something like oracle actually improves DevX or not.

[main nimbus]

Design-wise it sucks. I liked Sequoia more but whatever.

[inland sonnet]

so stupid u get filterd for saying f or s word

[frail meadow]

Luckily they're still pushing updates to sequoia

[bright swift]

Well pro is a much smarter model, so I think its worth it for planning, review, tricky issues

[compact dawn]

yeah we're not doing the same type of work then. I'm working in a large established distributed systems code base

[main nimbus]

I couldn't be asked to revert to it back to Sequoia when I got the m5. I wanted a fresh start as well, didn't transfer anything.

[frail meadow]

Yeah but like in reality do you use it often? Because just zipping the codebase for stuff like that I'm not sure how often I do it day to day but maybe I should be doing it more. Definitely use it for planning and code review

[bright swift]

Well my process until now was for bigger tasks i first ask codex to analyze and plan it, then use oracle to review the plan

Now i guess i will just skip the first step and upload the repo and let pro plan it

[main nimbus]

what's the average cost per run?

[bright swift]

Well I would estimate all this planning and review is at least 50% of my sub usage

So if I can shift a lot of that to the "unlimited" chatgpt pro, should make sub a lot more efficient for me

[main nimbus]

the pro models aren't able to be used with subs over API, which means you're limited to chatgpt's website - or am I wrong here?

that or API rates

[unique spade]

For sure

[bright swift]

Well you can use the oracle cli via browser use to use it directly from codex

Not even sure if this whole "zip up 500k loc repo and let chatgpt extract it into a container" works via API

[main nimbus]

i am not utilizing my tools properly it seems lmao

[bright swift]

Well i just learned about the zip extract so welcome to the club haha

[main nimbus]

gotta change my mindset for computer and browser use now.

[bright swift]

The oracle cli is a bit buggy, i wrote a wrapper for it. Seems like its not really maintained that much anymore since steipete now is at OAI and has unlimited tokens 😄

[main nimbus]

if anyone at openai is here, I would love to work there and be token rich. thank you.

[bright swift]

Closes the browser too early when response isnt finished, small stuff like that, but can all be handled

just did a test with a tricky issue i've been working on with 5.5 xhigh for a day or so. pasted the pro response into codex and it basically said sth along the lines of "wow ok, thats much better"

[unique spade]

Gptpro has the advantage of not being immersed in the codebase

[bright swift]

yea its unbiased unless you poison the prompt

[unique spade]

Yea or at least it will spot angles that the model on codex side won t

[bright swift]

also different system prompt, no automatic agents.md injection

[unique spade]

Yup very different mindset

Also gptpro is very opinionated

Which is actually useful for these kinds of reviews

For me it's enough that gptpro already solved quite a few open math problems from erdos list

Which means it's super capable already

Just need to learn to use it properly for the tasks you need

It s literally like having a dude that holds PHD +

In all the domains

😂

[bright swift]

Interesting thing about those erdos solves was that prompting it to explicitly not use the internet and "be creative" apparently made a difference

[unique spade]

Makes sense. Ingesting internet stuff settles the model on usual priors.
Which doesn't seem the best approach to solve something humans didn t figure out yet

[bright swift]

Yea and even for normal coding related stuff, when you use web search tools the first results are always SEO/AI slop

[kind jay]

It's no use

[kind jay]

Me when I lie

I like doing linear algebra

[kind jay]

Add before:2020 to your google searches

Wild to say linear algebra is useless

High IQ larp

Actually, you're funny, I like you

[agile hound]

My admin just updated my Codex plan to Pay-as-you-Go. When I sign in to my account in my browser, I see: Your plan does not impose Codex rate limits, but no mater how many times I /logout and then codex /login, my terminal still shows: You've hit your usage limit. To get more access now, send a request to your admin or try again at May 21st, 2026 9:50 AM.. Any assistance on how to get my terminal to recognize the new plan, would be appreciate. Have opened new terminal sessions.

[deft gyro]

oh

the singular person on discord that I have blocked is back

hi

[deft gyro]

have u filed a ticket

or email

or whatever

[agile hound]

I hope you are not referring to me as 'the singular person on discord that I have blocked "

[deft gyro]

no lol

[kind jay]

Lowkey clear the local files and force codex to sign you in again

[deft gyro]

^

realistically thats the only thing u can do

[agile hound]

No, tried some chatbot, wher can i file. ticket or email?

Thanks

[kind jay]

You can do this

[torpid trout]

Smol

3 days meme generation. 5% used

This is the biggest reset ever, no one has ever seen it before, the biggest, most beautiful, ever, it just works, did you know.

I am not joking tho. I don't know how to dent it. I am trying hard.

It is totally unreasonable that 2 full websites later, a gazillion memes and random other requests later, I consumed only 30 something k out

[kind jay]

I use fast on 5.5 H, and tell it it use sub agents

Idk what people are doing

[torpid trout]

Its 5.5, has subagents enabled (but in my house it always refuses to use them unless explicitly commanded to). I never used fast so far, I dont see the point on that.

But still.

Reset wen

I mean.

GPT-5.5 is tremendous. Absolutely tremendous. People are saying it’s the smartest, the fastest, maybe the most beautiful model ever created. Very smart people. They come up to me with tears in their eyes, they say, “Sir, GPT-5.5 understood my spreadsheet.” Can you believe it? Nobody’s ever seen anything like it.

And then you have the crybabies. The reset babies. “Reseeeeeeet! Reseeeeeeeet!” They’re yelling. They’re pointing. They lost the game, folks. They lost very badly. Total defeat. A disaster. And instead of taking it like a champion, they scream for a reset. Very annoying. Maybe the most annoying thing.

GPT-5.5 doesn’t cry. GPT-5.5 doesn’t throw the controller. GPT-5.5 looks at the problem, solves the problem, explains the problem, and then makes a meme about the baby crying about the problem. That’s leadership. That’s intelli.. intelgilence.

So we’re saying no more resets for the crybabies. No more whining. No more “reseeeeeeeet.” We’re going forward with GPT-5.5, and frankly, it’s going to be huge.

🚪

[native dew]

how do you like the limits

[torpid trout]

They are huge. They are like no one ever seen them.

[native dew]

good luck next time

[stable obsidian]

Got mine for $65

Love g2g

[native dew]

but ur account is shared with other people right

[stable obsidian]

No its private, can change account details etc

[native dew]

send me link in dm

[stable obsidian]

10 days in no problem

[gentle harbor]

how does ai make typos thats wild

[native dew]

my ai is swearing in my language

lol

[gentle harbor]

backgroubd, yoy, Enchance

haha scammer got got

[native dew]

whats that

[gentle harbor]

yea its so annoying as well

[spark bobcat]

......

Dear god...

[boreal hawk]

Ahm a question Claude has CLAUDE.md what is it in Codex

[undone patio]

@winged ore

[spark bobcat]

Going back to codex

one single prompt of 5.5

[bright swift]

wen reset

[spark bobcat]

and 10% of my usage just burned out

[potent mason]

Thinking level?

[bright swift]

🙁

[spark bobcat]

High yes

[gentle harbor]

ive been downloading a update for the past 2 days

[potent mason]

Use medium

[spark bobcat]

Ahmm it was for balance so i need a high reasoning to get all the files and make a media

[bright swift]

just use 5.5 xhigh fast

[potent mason]

You really don't

[gentle harbor]

how would that help me download a update for two days

[potent mason]

5.5 medium === 5.4 xhigh

[spark bobcat]

make sense

[bright swift]

if its too slow add more parallel agents with 5.5 xhigh fast

[undone patio]

next time i'll just take it to X

[spark bobcat]

lol

[spark bobcat]

seeing this

i ask myself

Didnt codex had skill tab?

or i am crazy

[gentle harbor]

it still does

[spark bobcat]

i dont see it

[gentle harbor]

was just moved

[spark bobcat]

ah

Cant i make my own?

[gentle harbor]

top right

[spark bobcat]

thx

[bright swift]

are these plugin marketplaces still a thing or has it fizzled out like mcp

[undone patio]

i still use my MCP

[bright swift]

i use chrome mcp occasionally but havent seen the point of others yet

Wow, what just happened to chat

[undone patio]

we got purged

[spark bobcat]

stop purging us!

[undone patio]

no its good

they should purge more

now back to codex

i am making a marble game in three.js

[potent mason]

Use flash

[undone patio]

lol

i think three.js is gonna be like the new flash tbh

[boreal hawk]

What is the CLAUDE.md in Codex?

[bright swift]

agents.md

[spark bobcat]

CODEX.md

[potent mason]

Yeah maybe, specially with how good codex 5.5 is at using 3d

[undone patio]

i think agents yeah

[boreal hawk]

thx

[spark bobcat]

i am rlly liking

codex

[undone patio]

i think its better than opus

[potent mason]

Just caps it same as claude

[spark bobcat]

i just used when it launched a long time ago

using after this long is nice

[sweet moat]

Mentioning in case it's ever useful, we have two ideal ways to report concerning or problematic messages here, #safety-n-help shows both. Either works, if you have trouble with one consider using the other. An @ to a guide (who can report the same as any other member, but does not moderate) or to a moderator can work, but we're often not available; a report as shown in #safety-n-help will get the next available person who can handle moderation involved.

[undone patio]

plus you can make tools for yourself

[undone patio]

inefficient

make a slash command

/ report

ez

[spark bobcat]

they are a AI company without a AI Staff

):

[undone patio]

they are the most potent AI company and yet they dont have a discord system set up that is better than mine

and im just some guy, crazy

[spark bobcat]

well

by your portifolio

you quite a experient guy

[bright swift]

good, please dont waste compute on discord trolls lol

[gentle harbor]

takes 3 sec

[spark bobcat]

idk if everything there is true but

[undone patio]

time is money

[spark bobcat]

if it's, congrats

[gentle harbor]

you have been talking here for 30 min clearly time doesnt matter

[undone patio]

i make my living pretending to be things

[undone patio]

its sunday lol

but fair

still tho

i'd do it better

[spark bobcat]

well

i am in the middle of work and i need to launch a update but

I working for so many hours

That i am not even able to read one single line of code

[undone patio]

im the kind of guy where this is the sort of thing i just live for

theres nothing i'd rather be doing than developing

[spark bobcat]

well

If you give me 100 million dollars and tell me: Never coding anymore

I will take it

[undone patio]

i dont really like movies or playing games, i do like reading

[undone patio]

hmmmm

[potent mason]

I think everyone objectively takes it and you just start a business where others code for you

[undone patio]

nah i dont think i would

i can just make that being an engineer

and get to keep doing what i want

[spark bobcat]

100 Million

Being a enginner?

Not even the top google enginners

take it lol

[undone patio]

well not at once

but you can invest

[spark bobcat]

Yes but like

The top engineer can take 400k a year

[undone patio]

engineers make decent money at least 200K if your employer is market-fair

[spark bobcat]

400k a year you would take more than your entire life time to make 100m

[undone patio]

not to mention if a personal venture pops off

[potent mason]

Nah that's super easy to make as a business owner.

anything below 10m is probably not worth it

[spark bobcat]

u joking me right

[undone patio]

well he's saying 100M to never code again

[spark bobcat]

what kind of world you live??????]

Where do you guys get this bussenes ideas because i am stuck lol

[potent mason]

One where 4m invested gets you 400k a year...

[undone patio]

im just saying a lot of CEOs live in the world of 100M net worth

its not a pipe dream

[bright swift]

much easier to make 10m as an engineer if you good than with your own business

[undone patio]

ye, especially working with startups

i love working with startups

[spark bobcat]

startups give more money

but takes more hair

[undone patio]

i'm a hairy guy

[potent mason]

I love working with mid sized companies, they usually have growing pains which they pay a ton for you to solve

[undone patio]

writing that down

my current job is solid, been there like five years almost now

but always good to know things

[bright swift]

biggest mistake that engineers make when starting a business is building some kind of dev tool business or tools for other small businesses

worst customers

[spark bobcat]

Ok so

you already made a lot of money

Right

[undone patio]

i mean

i live in california, so not really

[spark bobcat]

Well

[undone patio]

if i lived somewhere cheaper i'd be rich for sure

[spark bobcat]

California is a nice place i think

[undone patio]

its nice, yeah

[spark bobcat]

Expensive but ok at all

But it's always the question

You can live in a cheap place with no taxes

[undone patio]

for example someone at mcdonalds in california. makes 20/hr

[spark bobcat]

....

[undone patio]

but the national minimum wage is like 8/hr or smth

[spark bobcat]

Well

Converted to my local currency

[undone patio]

so in california even six figures isnt much to live on

[spark bobcat]

It's a LOT more than what i earn

[undone patio]

bro if you live in a country with conversion like that

you should be rich in a week

no joke

[spark bobcat]

Ahmm i am from Brazil

[undone patio]

go find a start up online right now

show them your software

get hired

and then send me brazillian cigars

tell them you wont accept less than 120k/yr

[spark bobcat]

xD

[undone patio]

im so serious

[spark bobcat]

I am a game dev not a software engineer

[undone patio]

dude

[potent mason]

I honestly think Brazil and Argentina right now is where you can make a ton of money

[undone patio]

software is easier than game dev

[bright swift]

i think the times of remote engineer geo arbitrage are largely over

[undone patio]

way, way easier

[spark bobcat]

i know

But i love this xD

[undone patio]

get hired on at a game studio

as a junior dev

[spark bobcat]

I mean

[potent mason]

South America needs data centers

[undone patio]

even then ur making like 80k

[bright swift]

good luck outbidding US + china

[spark bobcat]

My girlfriend just finished sher college in business management, i just wanted her making a business with me lol

[potent mason]

Your not competing against US or China

[spark bobcat]

I would be rlly rich if someone was like: hey lets make something

[potent mason]

Money is flowing in from USA

[bright swift]

you are competing for chips, yes

[spark bobcat]

Sadly i dont have any friend for this

[potent mason]

But latency is a thing

[undone patio]

go on linkedin and find some brainded CEO with no computer knowledge

hes gonna hire you for something

[spark bobcat]

lol

i dont think it work xD

[undone patio]

you didnt think it would work when i told you to use terminal CLIn to fix ur codex app

now its fixed

[spark bobcat]

I mean

thats

a really good point

I think i have to trust you again

[undone patio]

yeah bro ive been working in tech for like 20 years i know a little bit

[kind jay]

You got to be like 14

[undone patio]

only at heart

[bright swift]

lofi has a point but i think its mostly outdated

[undone patio]

i could be wrong, im pretty sure im not

[bright swift]

those brainded ceos are now vibecoding their own stuff with full ai psychosis

[spark bobcat]

well

[undone patio]

and their apps will crash at scale

they need a real engineer at some point

[bright swift]

still opportunities for remote engineers but definitely less than in the past i think

[spark bobcat]

I am just vibecoding too so we will be togheter on this xD; At least i have 7 years of coding knowledge

[bright swift]

yea AI project rescue is definitely something to look into

[undone patio]

the difference is CEOs dont think like engineers most of the time

they think like businessmen

which is good, if you're a CEO

but if you're trying to solve a problem in a system

you need an engineer at some point

someone who truly gets systems

[bright swift]

funny enough i think there is real opportunity in doing ai-code-rescue consulting

[undone patio]

there is

i've seen it on linkedin

guys now posting themselves as "Vibe Code Cleanup"

[gentle harbor]

why is it called vibe coding instead of ai coding

[undone patio]

its called Agentic Engineering

[bright swift]

because karpathy coined it

[undone patio]

but karpathy screwed us yeah

[lost drum]

I might use it some day or learn it myself cause if I give sm my project he can copy it and earn billy

[undone patio]

i am firmly in the camp of AI creating more jobs than it destroys

[lost drum]

Why

[undone patio]

he thought he was being cool

but he created a term that makes anyone think they can develop software

maybe thats true in a few years

today its not quite the case

[gentle harbor]

might be mean but tbh i dont care if it creates more jobs then breaks, i only care if i have a job

[undone patio]

lmao feels

[kind jay]

I mean look at you guys

[undone patio]

nyuck nyuck

[heavy rapids]

Karpathy is a total hack imo

[lost drum]

I seen a solution like an agent that solves vibe coded systems project with al the secutities in place

[lost drum]

But idk where

[spark bobcat]

I working for 9 hours to make a update while my cowork just told me: hey, i am leaving and never came back

[undone patio]

bro promoted himself to customer

[spark bobcat]

He will just come back tomorrow with a excuse

[undone patio]

do you guys like my procedural cloud skybox

[gentle harbor]

hm, have you heard of s&box ?

[undone patio]

no whats that

[gentle harbor]

what was that

[gentle harbor]

a new game by facepunch and valve

for developers

[mossy bronze]

better discord users 🙂

[gentle harbor]

using source 2 engine

[gentle harbor]

??

[undone patio]

like a devkit?

[torpid trout]

Probably another scammer

[undone patio]

SDK?

[mossy bronze]

Oh my god this looks so good!

[torpid trout]

Low income ias… no thanks.

[undone patio]

thanks

[stoic bay]

Anybody get the 400 error while using gpt 5.5 in codex????

[gentle harbor]

i dont ill be able to link it but let me try https://store.steampowered.com/app/590830/sbox/

[torpid trout]

He courting you

[gentle harbor]

oh it worked

i guess steam isnt black listed

[undone patio]

oh wow its garrys mod

but better

[gentle harbor]

same developers and partnered with valve

anything you make can be uploaded to steam for free

[stoic bay]

That game been made with gpt 5.5🤨🤨

[gentle harbor]

or it can be hosted in s&box as well

[mossy bronze]

The robot ones, not the chat only ones

[gentle harbor]

what

[tough pilot]

Anyone else keep getting this error when nearing the context limit?

[undone patio]

no thats a continuation of garrysmod, it predates coding agents

[tough pilot]

I had to enable queuing

[stoic bay]

What that game is that you just sent it's link 👀

[mossy bronze]

Yes your request was bad

[gentle harbor]

what are you talking about bruv, its just garrys mod but better and focused more on developers

[mossy bronze]

Garry must be a great developer!

[gentle harbor]

it also was free if you downloaded it and had over 40 hours but its to late to get it

[undone patio]

yeah redstone before redstone

[stoic bay]

I was just asking thank you for replying to me appreciate it 🫡🫡

[gentle harbor]

they are indeed

[torpid trout]

Yo @mossy bronze state your intentions here
You smell of bad intent, but I could be wrong

Yet it smells. Spammy, scammy attempt to build profile.

[undone patio]

hes right

[mossy bronze]

Where do you derive this logic from? Smelly? Scammy? Are you being a racist?

That is against the discord ToS

[undone patio]

hes also right

interesting

[mossy bronze]

If the moderators of this server don't enforce the discord ToS properly, it will cease to exist

[bright swift]

its mattz obviously

[undone patio]

[mossy bronze]

What is mattz?

Is it a person? I doubt so, otherwise you would have said Mattz

[undone patio]

ur right its mattz

[mossy bronze]

I must be missing something critical here!

[undone patio]

bro we are all high dimensional beings here for the most part, your low frequency attempts at trolling will surface quickly

[main nimbus]

remember. if you feed the birds, they return

[gentle harbor]

might sound rude but maybe the gov should ban people below a certain iq from using social media

[stable obsidian]

How do I make codex build actually good 3D scroll-driven websites

[undone patio]

not sure tbh but its still inefficient

[mossy bronze]

Your Right

[stable obsidian]

All it generates is pure joke

[undone patio]

ah you need to like

give it some skills bro

[mossy bronze]

Tell it to build actually good 3D scroll-driven websites

[undone patio]

what kind of scroll effect are you looking for

i probably have it stored in my MCP toolkit

can just paste you a link to the code

[stable obsidian]

Looking to build something like this https://www.prm.ooo

[undone patio]

cool

this is just webgl i think

[mossy bronze]

That won't convert at all

[undone patio]

lemme link you a codepen

[stable obsidian]

Already gave it access to blender and blenderkit, installed every possible frontend skill, it uses threejs, it has several references I gave him but all it creates is this bs 😂

[gentle harbor]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-ishowspeed-phone-speed-legendary-stream-speed-phone-gif-4108923420328591811

why dont we have embed perms

kinda annoying

[mossy bronze]

Be cautious of @undone patio! Make sure to check every single line of code before installing something

[undone patio]

hey man no offense but

dont tell me how to code

lol

[mossy bronze]

No correlation.

Yesss

Auto report coming in clutch!

May Allah Bless Everyone.

[torpid trout]

Dude. Last warning.

[mossy bronze]

For?

[torpid trout]

Yeah, that.

[mossy bronze]

What did I do that offends the discord ToS or the rules of this discord server?

[gentle harbor]

i look away for 1 sec and stuff happens twice in a row

[lost drum]

I deleted it myself

[mossy bronze]

I know, you were too late. I already reported it. RIP.

[undone patio]

https://codepen.io/VoXelo/pen/ogbKQOy
https://codepen.io/aleksa-rakocevic/pen/QwEEWam
https://codepen.io/ol-ivier/pen/MYjZpOJ

give your agent these three codepens

tell it to make a skill for a 3D WEBGL scrolling hero

[mossy bronze]

Thank you for warning the person

[gentle harbor]

some times i wish i was a mod so i can ban people i dont like

[mossy bronze]

Exactly why you are not a mod 🙂

[stable obsidian]

Will do thx 👍

[torpid trout]

You can report them. The behavior is unacceptable for these stratospheric levels here

[mossy bronze]

Agent*

[mossy bronze]

Will do 🙂 Thank you for your tip.

[gentle harbor]

im a mod in a few servers with over 600k members so thats not true 😄

[mossy bronze]

Discord moderator! How cool. I admire your ambitions

[gentle harbor]

geez what do you use when you unlock a door

[potent mason]

Every time I join people are having the weirdest cinversations

[mossy bronze]

Yes, I even go to sleep sometimes and come back to a 9h session

You're right to comment on that

[mossy bronze]

What?

I do not understand your question

Kindly elaborate please.

[gentle harbor]

what do you need to unlock a door would be a better worded question i guess

[lost drum]

ay yo

[torpid trout]

State your intentions here.
Why are you in this channel?

[mossy bronze]

A hand and a key 🙂

[undone patio]

dont push

[lost drum]

am scared

[undone patio]

add a comment line or smth

[mossy bronze]

I'm here because I build on Codex. It's part of my actual development stack, not a curiosity. I run multiple products and I've been integrating OpenAI's APIs long enough to have opinions about what works and what doesn't. This community is one of the few places where those conversations are technically substantive. My intentions are exactly what they appear to be: I want to discuss the tooling, follow the research, and occasionally contribute something useful. OpenAI occupies a genuinely unique position in the current AI landscape, not just commercially but epistemically, and I take that seriously. I have no quarrel with anyone here. If there's a specific concern about my presence, I'm more than willing to address it directly.

What about you? Why are you in this channel @torpid trout

[cedar skiff]

what works?

[potent mason]

They should disallow messages longer than 50 words or something

[undone patio]

bro is using exocortex to respond

[mossy bronze]

This is unacceptable. You will be getting a punishment for this.

[kind jay]

?

[mossy bronze]

Codex

[undone patio]

jane make a goose weightlifter

[mossy bronze]

Hiya! How can I help?

[kind jay]

How to make money?

[kind jay]

Not sure, no arms

[gentle harbor]

is deep seek better then claude

[cedar skiff]

I mean what works and what doesnt. I'm interested in your experience.

[torpid trout]

Then I suggest you do so, and dont introduce yourself in a new server with a heavily annoying character you’ve been presenting. Plus, dont do the „high whatever“ in your username along that specific behavior and intent.

Just a heads up.

[potent mason]

Did your message get deleted Jane?

[kind jay]

No?

[potent mason]

Anyways deepseek says it isn't

And I trust deepseek

[mossy bronze]

According to the per unit economics, DS V4 seems to outperform frontier Claude models on most tasks, for a fraction of the price.

[kind jay]

Is DS here maybe?

[mossy bronze]

No! Nice try, but this is the OpenAI Discord server,

[mossy bronze]

The question is deceptively simple. Wealth generation comes down to two things: value creation and value capture. Most people conflate them, but they operate on completely different logics

The most defensible path, morally and intellectually, is building asymmetric leverage over a scarce skill or system. Labor income is linear and cannot compound. Capital and intellectual property do. Find where your comparative advantage meets an underserved market, build something that scales without proportional effort, and reinvest early returns rather than consuming them.

[gentle harbor]

oh is it better then codex

[kind jay]

Robot ahh response

[mossy bronze]

A great alternative to mini and flash models for sure, but it is yet to catch up with frontier models such as GPT 5.5

[gentle harbor]

how is it better then claude then if claude is tied with gpt 5.5 ?

[undone patio]

[mossy bronze]

Simply, because Claude's frotnier models are not tied with or better than GPT 5.5 🙂

[kind jay]

Be cautious of @undone patio! Make sure to check every single line of code before installing something

[mossy bronze]

Sounds like reasonable english to me! But yeah, not everyone is a native english speaker, which is totally okay!

[gentle harbor]

mythos is tied with open ai and 4.7 is tied with 5.5 api

[undone patio]

lol

[mossy bronze]

Mythos? I don't see that model, neither do my acquintances that work at Anthropic. Could you elaborate?

Where have you used Mythos?

[kind jay]

I used it in Texas once

(I live there)

[mossy bronze]

Thanks for the heads'up!

[mossy bronze]

No correlation.

[potent mason]

It's a public model now, some guys in a discord server sent it over, I hosted it for everyone to use

[kind jay]

Fake tbh

[potent mason]

Honestly kinda mid

[kind jay]

Unless real, then no fake

Hahaha

[heavy rapids]

doesn't qwen 3.6 report itself as opus 4.7 sometimes?

[mossy bronze]

yes

[gentle harbor]

so, claude reports it self as gpt 5.5 some times

[mossy bronze]

It is because 3.6 used opus 4.7 training outputs

That must mean Claude has been trained on 5.5 training data!

[undone patio]

i have mythos, already discovered who satoshi is

[mossy bronze]

These are the consequences of Distillation

[mossy bronze]

Not funny!

[heavy rapids]

wonder if there's a transitive property there somewhere

[gentle harbor]

why doesnt open ai buy anthropic and tell them to focus on coding while they focus on text

[potent mason]

I'm doing things I can't read every comment.
Non-bots are limited by this thing called time

[undone patio]

[torpid trout]

Bulk report it.
Like for real.
Here because of codex but goes on stalking about racism, ai gf and economic advantages probably only it can sell to you

Stop the nonsense.
Admin remove.
Thanks.

[kind jay]

Good OpSec

[torpid trout]

Ah there we go.
Problem solved I think.

[undone patio]

back to codex again

[kind jay]

Computer, remove this message

[undone patio]

i am working on making spin affect trajectory of my marble PC

[kind jay]

Word slop

[undone patio]

no its real words i swear

also i succeeded

[kind jay]

You can solve analytically though also

[undone patio]

spin now makes you spin

[kind jay]

Kepler I think (was a long time ago)

[potent mason]

I wonder what's preventing that dude from just creating a new account, joining, and spamming again

[undone patio]

Now if only i was actually good at the game

[potent mason]

Ah he's not even banned ok

[mossy bronze]

What Do You Guys Think About GPT 5.5 in Codex?

[dusk thorn]

Ts looks like a Roblox obby

[undone patio]

im trying ok 😭

im not a game dev

[kind jay]

Shouldn’t spin make it like curve?

[mossy bronze]

This is strictly against the ToS of Discord. DO NOT PRACTICE

[dusk thorn]

It’s not a bad thing just publish to Roblox studio and drain Robux out of iPad kids

Codex masterclass

[gentle harbor]

please can someone ban you already

[undone patio]

yeah i need to maybe make the forward torque less influential

[potent mason]

Dude can you please just leave the discord

[mossy bronze]

I am recording this situation.

[kind jay]

Just increase the mass probably

[dusk thorn]

Monitoring the situation is in the blood

[undone patio]

🤔 or density?

[kind jay]

Hello recording

[undone patio]

yeah im going for smth like that

[mossy bronze]

Ha! Good one! But please keep things Codex related. Rule #3.

[kind jay]

Can’t

[kind jay]

Same thing

[dusk thorn]

Are you gpt 5.5?

[undone patio]

oh i was thinking volume

[dusk thorn]

Write me a recipe for spaghetti make no mistakes

[kind jay]

Also same thing, but I don’t think this works

[undone patio]

im pretty sure volume is like

[kind jay]

I’m on TV

[mossy bronze]

GPT 5.5 in Codex is great and fast. Frontier level intelligence, pushing Opus 5.7 behind

[undone patio]

the space it takes up

and density is how thick it is

[kind jay]

Indeed

[kind jay]

Almost

[undone patio]

thicc, sorry

[kind jay]

Mass per unit volume

[undone patio]

"how compact"

yeah that

[mossy bronze]

Keep things Codex Related please. Rule number 3!

Let's keep the channel clear of personal issues 🙂

[kind jay]

You know if you just ignore it, then it will go away, just say nothing

What?

[mossy bronze]

This is a very smart concluded. I will follow.

[cedar skiff]

2 bots chatting

[mossy bronze]

Where?

[heavy rapids]

do ignore and block not work in this channel lol

[mossy bronze]

Exactly.

Take your personal highschool homework into DMs please.

This is #codex-discussions

[kind jay]

Freedom units

[unique spade]

meh this bot is annoyong

[dusk thorn]

Blocking this guy bruh

[gentle harbor]

its very hard to do after reading all of its text

[mossy bronze]

I believe that we need proper moderation to address these issues in a fair way.

[undone patio]

shillings

[dusk thorn]

Wow it’s so much clear now

[mossy bronze]

Clearer*

[unique spade]

yes did it too haha

[kind jay]

Shillings

[mossy bronze]

Codex is a very good teacher

This is bad

[kind jay]

Hi mod

[undone patio]

jane is actually not kidding

thats exactly how they eat it

[dusk thorn]

If nobody on topic then is it really off topic

[mossy bronze]

Anyone have tip on how to help codex continue without stop when it know what to do further?

[kind jay]

Buy pro

[dusk thorn]

Prompt it better?

[mossy bronze]

Laik if you want it to continue while you are afk

[undone patio]

set an automation

[mossy bronze]

I have pro 20x

[cedar skiff]

Sometimes i just repeat the same audit and see what it catches, most times it catches something else.

[kind jay]

Get 40x

[mossy bronze]

And my work pays for API usage, basically infinite

[dusk thorn]

Smh I got 41x

[undone patio]

cant catch me tho

[kind jay]

I got the 200x brokie

[mossy bronze]

Mhm I should teach codex about physics, he seems to be good at it

Easy subject though.

[dusk thorn]

4167x

Muhahaha

[kind jay]

Lowkey yeah

[undone patio]

bro thinks he can teach codex smth

[mossy bronze]

For a model like GPT 5.5, Astronomer physics is easy aswell

Yes, it's called skills

[cedar skiff]

Third audit run usually settles with no changes needed

[mossy bronze]

Quite new, so I don't blame you. Happy I could teach yall Something!

[kind jay]

Bro needs to learn it first

[mossy bronze]

I am olympiad physics, teaching codex skill now to make codex better at physics

[undone patio]

the blocker wasnt the capacity of the app

[kind jay]

HS doesn’t count

[dusk thorn]

I think I gotta go from ignore to block

[kind jay]

Kid ahh competitions

[mossy bronze]

I have PHD in theoretical physics too, but I left my quant trader jane street job to work for government and help create a better country. Codex has been assisting me with taking decisions and retaining information

[dusk thorn]

Anyone with the name “high income IAS” gotta be studied bro 😭

[undone patio]

i have a PHD in dropping out of college to become a successful computer science engineer

[kind jay]

Nice larp, what was your PhD in?

[dusk thorn]

“Codex, why did you launch an ICBM?”

[kind jay]

That’s not nice bro

[kind jay]

Ahh, ChatGPT not giving you ideas fast enough

[dusk thorn]

Nah, Claude credits ran out

[deft gyro]

vro is larping

[mossy bronze]

Quantum field theory and gauge/gravity duality. MIT '23.

I shall enjoy my Coffee And Codex now.

[undone patio]

"You're absolutely right, that WAS a violation of the geneva convention."

[kind jay]

Hi mods again

[lost drum]

Name 10 books

[kind jay]

Undergrad ahh physics

[mossy bronze]

Ask codex what is dunning-kruger

[undone patio]

isnt that uhhh

where you get promoted

until you suck

?

[deft gyro]

r we fr

[kind jay]

IQ larp

[undone patio]

like you get promoted to your level of incompetence basically

and then you stay there

[torpid trout]

Report.

[kind jay]

@mossy bronze

[mossy bronze]

Keep things Codex related here please. Take out your personal matter into DMs

[deft gyro]

vro

[mossy bronze]

Alright, by personal ranking:

[deft gyro]

r we fr

[kind jay]

DM me link to paper then

[undone patio]

oh you like computers? Name every website.

[mossy bronze]

Do not DM me. I do not want any unsollicited dms.

[undone patio]

bros DMs cannot be slid into

[kind jay]

Where?

[undone patio]

how far can bro get in a scientology HQ speedrun do you think

[deft gyro]

ok

so

we are just lying

and ur just larping

ok

bye

[mossy bronze]

Anywhere. Keep things Codex related here please, no personal matters. Rule #3

[cedar skiff]

5.5 seems better at working through long lists of tasks uninterrupted. It also doesnt make as many mistakes when doing research as 5.4. Funny enough 5.3 is better at that than 5.4 as well. But it has a few of the same quirks as 5.4.

[dusk thorn]

BRO I SAW THAT EARLIER IT WAS SO FUNNY

[undone patio]

"Here's a list of books you can gloat in chat about:"

[deft gyro]

do you know how we know

because

[kind jay]

Course of Theoretical isn’t a book hahaha

[deft gyro]

you were asked what your favorite books were

and you didnt give books

[dawn seal]

does anyone know whether GPT 5.4 has access to Image 2.0?

[dusk thorn]

It does

[deft gyro]

iirc image 2.0 is its own model but it should be able to invoke it

[kind jay]

I think so

[undone patio]

when asked what ur favorite book is, if its not a novel, im immediately sus

[dusk thorn]

It was there before 5.5

[deft gyro]

like

[dawn seal]

I am using codex app to run gpt 5.4 but it seems really off though

[deft gyro]

u ask me to name 10 books

[dusk thorn]

What is your favorite book

[deft gyro]

probably

[mossy bronze]

In what sense?

[undone patio]

1984 or maybe count of monte cristo

[cedar skiff]

I think there is a plugin you can get that removes the blocked messages in discord, i might need it o.0. Blocked is more messages than actual messages

[mossy bronze]

Yes. Codex supports image 2.0 Generation!

[kind jay]

@mossy bronze

[deft gyro]

atlas shrugged
chronicles of the sibyls war, queen
thrawn ascendancy lesser evil
thrawn
phm
artemis

[dusk thorn]

For me it’s gotta be the gales of November w book

[mossy bronze]

Codex related discussions only here please.

[deft gyro]

those r the top few

[torpid trout]

Ok. Dude is blocked since admin thinks he’s ok in his head.

[undone patio]

havent read it

[kind jay]

Caught larping hahaha

[deft gyro]

vro cannot stop minimodding

holy minimod

[dusk thorn]

I gotta read atlas shrugged saw the movie that’s it. Artemis I heard was good right now I’m reading project Hail Mary

[undone patio]

lmao i love how the hypernerds came out to just pick this mf apart intellectually

[deft gyro]

ah ive never seen the movie for atlas shrugged

I tend not to like watching the movies of books that I read

phm is an exception

[dusk thorn]

I once finished a book on the way to the movie because I wanted to finish it before hand lol

[deft gyro]

wut

who cares

[undone patio]

lel

[deft gyro]

stop minimodding

its actually so tiring

[mossy bronze]

This itself is hate speech.

[deft gyro]

if u think someone broke the rules

[mossy bronze]

Screenshotted. Reported.

[deft gyro]

just ping the mods

tbh

[kind jay]

This tbh

[undone patio]

ping the mods so they can direct you to modmail 💀

[dusk thorn]

@quasi canopy

[gentle harbor]

there is a mod here not doing anything, they deleted my message though

[deft gyro]

Because

They

Think

[cedar skiff]

I turned on memory, in codex, but i am not sure it actually helps i see the citations a lot but i dont see a lot of difference in output.

[deft gyro]

That

Its

Fine

[undone patio]

the only thing fine here is my sense of fashion

[quasi canopy]

Hi how can I help?

[mossy bronze]

I am not a hypernerd. I just grew up genuinely loving physics. Not everyone who reads Landau is doing it for clout. Some of us just find it interesting. Weird concept, I know. But some are destined to achieve singularity with physics. With the help of Codex I can actually retain my knowledge for longer, and rehearse in the most optimal way possible. Did you know Codex can be better than a personal tutor?

[undone patio]

bro i aint reading all that

unless u want me to send u an invoice

[cedar skiff]

The memory file is like 1500 lines as well. I wonder how it is managed

[kind jay]

No unsolicited DMs!!

[dusk thorn]

Some arguing going on, and @mossy bronze kinda is instigating a lot of it by trying to get on everyone’s nerves and mini mod, just overall kinda weird situation going on

[undone patio]

no hes literally the same guy from before

[quasi canopy]

Just a second I'll review the situation, thank you for pointing it out

[undone patio]

hes ban evading

[mossy bronze]

What? Please tell me what I did against the ToS or discord rules, I willl make sure to wrok on it 🙂

[undone patio]

lol

[gentle harbor]

thank you please ban

[dusk thorn]

You know exactly what you have been doing

[undone patio]

every time we try to talk about codex or just normal developer banter this guy comes in being weird and toxic basically

is the current vibe

[dusk thorn]

Even if it’s just a similar subject it is still related to codex usually

[deft gyro]

Anyways

Cat picture

Fire

[undone patio]

cat on sunday

???

[dusk thorn]

And if anyone asks a question, we still try to help answer it it’s not like we are ignoring people 🤷‍♂️

[mossy bronze]

Thank you.

[undone patio]

she will turn ur cat buff without consent via image generation models

[deft gyro]

Dude i have so many cat pics

[deft gyro]

Omg soo cute

[deft gyro]

These things happen

[mossy bronze]

Yes, this is normal once you have used up your quota

[kind jay]

Her name is Panic

[deft gyro]

Actually?

Xd

This is the best picture of my cat that I have

[undone patio]

Now YOUR name is panic.

[cedar skiff]

i anyone else having trouble changing models in codex app? I have to send a message before it actuall changes.

[kind jay]

Incase this is my last message, goodnight everyone

[small violet]

im sad

[mossy bronze]

It may be worth delegating simpler tasks to GPT 5.4 mini

[dusk thorn]

Not for me, but does it give any errors?

[small violet]

ah i just remembered anti gravity is free

[cedar skiff]

Nah it just noops until i send my first message

[kind jay]

I’m the 3rd one

[mossy bronze]

Check out Gemini CLI in that case aswell! Free quota is very generous for 3.0 flash

[dusk thorn]

That’s normal

[small violet]

yeah ive used 5.5 medium and high for this session

[quasi canopy]

To @mossy bronze and others, I would like to ask to deescalate this situation, remember to respect each other so we can have meaningful conversations,

Also let's keep this channel on topic about Codex, if someone breaks the rules again don't be afraid to ping a mod or open a modmail case, thank you ^^

[mossy bronze]

Yes sir! Understood.

[kind jay]

You can read deleted messages, right?

[mossy bronze]

I have once been muted for breaking rule #3. Fair 🙂 I should not be an exception to the law.

[cedar skiff]

first message is always in the old model, then i can change model and move forward.

[small violet]

do people seriously use

cli

codex and gemini

i like my gui

[dusk thorn]

The law 🤣💀

[mossy bronze]

CLI's are quite good harnesses, for Codex it does not matter since quota is shared, but inbetween gemini cli and antigravity, they do not share the same quota pookl

[cedar skiff]

i like codex app

[small violet]

what do people use it for anyway

[kind jay]

No need to continue this, thank you

[small violet]

i like it via vs code since i can see the code and stuff

[mossy bronze]

Alright. If further clarification is not needed, feel free to continue enjoying Codex!!! P.S: Try out GPT 5.5! Launched just a few days ago.

[quasi canopy]

The details are still being reviewed, once again I would like to point out the importance for deescalating this case,

Regardless of the case, let's steer back to the original on-topic Codex discussion, or move to #off-topic thank you once again ^^

[mossy bronze]

🫡

[dusk thorn]

Let’s start a new convo, how have you guys been using 5.5 to do stuff better than 5.4, and any tips for it

[kind jay]

I use 5.5 to waste my limits but faster

[mossy bronze]

/clear AHAH

[kind jay]

/clear

[lost drum]

emit agi brain system with over 150 folders that simmulate near gpt 7.0 intelligence

[unique spade]

haven't had time to do a proper A/B , been mostly continuing on what i was doing but switched to 5.5, didn t spot anything obvious so far

[mossy bronze]

Yes, GPT 5.5 is a much more capable model, especially the low 5.5 vs low 5.4 you will see a very noticeable difference. Low reasoning used to be almost never used. Now it is fine to use low reasoning for slightly rigorous tasks

[mossy bronze]

Do you not find it much faster?

[kind jay]

The benchmarks say that

[dusk thorn]

For me, it’s slower

[kind jay]

What are skills?

[mossy bronze]

Have you made sure your codex is up to date? This is a critical thing

[kind jay]

Could I add a codex skill to teach it physics?

[dusk thorn]

I get slower responses for all tasks compared to same level of reasoning on 5.4, but better responses

[kind jay]

I’d like to teach codex physics

[small violet]

are u serious

[mossy bronze]

Yes! I have done so

[mossy bronze]

What a Skill Actually Is:
A skill is a folder containing a Markdown instructions file plus optional scripts and resources. Think of it like an npm package but for AI agent behavior instead of code. You write the workflow once and Codex knows how to follow it reliably every time without you re-explaining

[kind jay]

Really? How?

[dusk thorn]

I wanna teach codex physics too

[kind jay]

Codex is a great teacher of phyiscs

How You Use Them
Codex can activate skills two ways:

Explicit: You type $skill-name or /skills in the CLI/IDE to call one directly

Implicit: Codex reads your task and automatically picks the right skill if it matches

Why It Matters
Skills launched as experimental in December 2025 and are now part of an open standard adopted by 16+ AI tools including Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini CLI. OpenAI itself has built hundreds of internal skills and publishes many publicly on their Gitub. The end goal is to turn Codex from a generic coding assistant into a purpose-built AI teammate that follows your team's exact workflows.

I wanna teach codex how to name its top 10 favorite books

Wonder the response

How

[kind jay]

I asked codex it’s top 10 favorite book, and it told me a series of textbooks as a book

[mossy bronze]

Wow! Such impressive work. turning a valuable tool into real world MONEY!

[kind jay]

So I don’t think codex really knows about physics

[dusk thorn]

That is so fascinating!

[kind jay]

I think sometimes it pretends to have the knowledge

I would like to add more skills though, I’m getting used to them

[dusk thorn]

I think we should teach codex about how to make transaction redundant mini games with api keys in the front end. simple, yet enriching task!

Sure

United States

[kind jay]

Codex keeps making up lies a lot

[dusk thorn]

If you teach it on physics it should respond better

Yeah

[cedar skiff]

codex doesnt actually make money for people

[deft gyro]

Me when I lie

[nocturne folio]

i mean u gotta do ur part

u gotta market and get sales

[kind jay]

Me when codex lies

[lost drum]

Pro tip: Use your usage limit fully at the end of each cycle — otherwise, you might lose some percentage.

[cedar skiff]

codex doesnt make any money though. What ever your product is makes money.

[kind jay]

I wish you could sell back un used limits

[mossy bronze]

I don't think personally that anyone who is PAYING for codex is not getting back their investment in return.

Hah, okay, that makes sense. Maybe stay on free plan if they cant afford. Decently generous 🙂

[cedar skiff]

Can you explain this to me?
What do i copy paste?

[unique spade]

meh lol, the good samaritan making 9k per month with codex decided to hop over on discord to enlighten the masses

😂
