on GitHub

Highlights

• GPT-5.1-Codex-Max: introducing our newest frontier agentic coding model. GPT-5.1-Codex-Max delivers higher reliability, faster iteration, and support for long-running, project-scale workflows. Learn more at https://www.openai.com/index/gpt-5-1-codex-max
• Native Compaction Support: added first-class support for Compaction, improving performance across extended coding sessions.
• Expanded Tool Token Limits: codex models now support up to 10,000 tool output tokens. Configure this via tool_output_token_limit in config.toml.
• Windows Agent mode: Introduced Agent mode for native Windows. Codex can read files, write files, and run commands in your working folder with fewer approvals. Agent mode uses a new experimental Windows sandbox to limit filesystem and network access. Learn more at https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows
• TUI and UX Improvements
  • Eliminated ghost snapshot notifications when no git repository is present.
  • Codex Resume now displays branches and respects the current working directory for filtering.
  • Added placeholder icons for images.
  • Credits are now visible in /status.
