Hi @toxic ginkgo. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
For scripting and coding, OpenAI recommends:
-
GPT‑5.4 (API) – General-purpose frontier model that’s also very strong at code generation, debugging, and reasoning. It’s the default choice for most coding tasks via the Responses API.[Models overview][Code generation guide]
-
GPT‑5.3‑Codex and other Codex models (via Codex) – Specialized coding models used by the Codex agent/CLI/IDE integrations for software development workflows (writing, reviewing, refactoring code, etc.).[Codex models][Codex overview]
-
Reasoning models like GPT‑5 – If your scripting tasks need heavy multi-step reasoning (complex automation, planning, etc.), you can call a reasoning model with higher
reasoning.effortfor better step‑by‑step logic.[Reasoning models]
If you just want one to start with for scripting/automation, use gpt-5.4 via the API, or Codex (which uses these models under the hood) if you prefer an out‑of‑the‑box coding agent experience.[Code generation guide][Codex overview]
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
@toxic ginkgo Kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
ok where do i start
