OpenAI's fancy new AI keypad will be a lot of fun for some, while many others are probably not going to touch it.

In my previous post about a cost budget advisor , I built a mechanism that checks how much quota is left before it runs anything. This time I want to take that idea one step further: instead of cycling a single Codex through jobs one after another, run several of them at the same time as a swarm. I'll walk through the actual code for a three-layer protocol where workers declared in plan.json are expanded by orchestrate-worktrees.js into a tmux session plus git worktrees, so each Codex runs in parallel without interfering with the others. The problem: running Codex serially on the same branch When you run Codex jobs one after another on a single repository, you hit issues like: A commit from the previous job changes the preconditions for the next one Task B keeps waiting until Task A finishes When a conflict happens, the "which change is correct" decision bounces back to a human Separating branches with git worktree reduces the conflict risk to zero. Combining that with tmux to launch everything in parallel is the design for this post. The big picture: a three-layer protocol plan.json ← declaration layer (what goes to which worker) ↓ orchestrate-worktrees.js ← orchestrator layer (creates worktrees, launches tmux) ↓ orchestrate-codex-worker.sh ← worker layer (runs Codex, writes artifacts) The orchestrator doesn't know about the workers, and the workers don't know about each other. Artifacts are consolidated into three files under .orchestration/{session}/{worker_slug}/ . File Role task.md Work instructions for the worker (generated by the orchestrator) status.md State: not started → running → completed / failed handoff.md Codex output + git status (written by the worker) Declaring the plan in plan.json { "sessionName" : "refactor-sprint" , "repoRoot" : "~/my-project" , "worktreeRoot" : "~/worktrees" , "coordinationRoot" : "~/my-project/.orchestration" , "baseRef" : "HEAD" , "replaceExisting" : true , "launcherCommand" : "bash ~/.claude/scripts/orchestrate-codex-worker

I pin model IDs on purpose. Floating aliases have burned me before — a silent swap under a -latest tag once changed a tool-calling detail in production and cost me a Saturday with git bisect and a coffee I didn't enjoy. So everything I run points at a dated snapshot. gpt-5-codex was one of them. Last week I finally read OpenAI's deprecations page top to bottom instead of skimming it, and there it was: gpt-5-codex , retiring 2026-07-23 , sitting quietly next to ten of its neighbors. As I write this it's July 16. That's seven days . If you pinned any of the snapshots below, consider this your heads-up. Here's the full retirement list, how to find out in about ten minutes whether you're exposed, the replacement map with the things I'd actually regression-test, and the one structural change that turned my last forced migration from scary into boring. The shutdown list (retiring 2026-07-23) Straight from OpenAI's API deprecations page . I checked each row against the source while writing this — do the same before you act on it, because dates and replacements do get revised. Retiring model OpenAI's suggested replacement gpt-5-codex gpt-5.5 gpt-5.1-codex gpt-5.5 gpt-5.1-codex-max gpt-5.5 gpt-5.1-codex-mini gpt-5.4-mini gpt-5.2-codex gpt-5.5 gpt-5-chat-latest gpt-5.5 gpt-5.1-chat-latest gpt-5.5 gpt-4o-search-preview-2025-03-11 gpt-5.4-mini gpt-4o-mini-search-preview-2025-03-11 gpt-5.4-mini gpt-4o-mini-tts-2025-03-20 gpt-4o-mini-tts-2025-12-15 computer-use-preview-2025-03-11 computer-use-preview (or gpt-5.4-mini ) Note the shape of it: the *-codex line collapses into gpt-5.5 — except gpt-5.1-codex-mini , which drops to gpt-5.4-mini — the chat-latest aliases fold into gpt-5.5 too, the two *-search-preview snapshots move to gpt-5.4-mini , and the two preview families ( tts , computer-use ) just roll to a newer dated snapshot / the undated alias. Once you see the buckets, the migration is less intimidating than the eleven-row table looks. Find out if you're exposed (about ten m

OpenAI, which is in the middle of a legal battle with Apple over hardware trade theft allegations, just released a light-up keyboard designed to be paired with its agentic coding app.

Rebranded Codex promises independent workflows that can run "for hours if needed."

The silicon race is heating up amid the struggle to keep up with demand.

I mostly use Claude Code, but lately I've been using Codex CLI and Codex.app (hereafter "Codex") more often too. My environment is macOS. However, after I started using mise in [2026-03-29-1] , I ran into trouble because Codex wouldn't use the mise-managed Ruby, Node.js, and so on. Here's the state I was in: $ where ruby /usr/bin/ruby $ ruby --version ruby 2.6.10p210 (2022-04-12 revision 67958) [universal.arm64e-darwin25] The Solution I solved it by adding the following to ~/.zshenv : # When Codex CLI and Codex.app run commands, .zshrc's mise activate zsh doesn't take effect, # so add mise shims to PATH. if [ -n " $CODEX_SANDBOX " ] ; then PATH = ${ XDG_DATA_HOME } /mise/shims: $PATH fi Here's the state inside Codex after the change: $ where ruby /Users/masutaka/.local/share/mise/shims/ruby /usr/bin/ruby $ ruby --version ruby 4.0.5 (2026-05-20 revision 64336ffd0e) +PRISM [arm64-darwin25] Codex's Command Execution Environment Is a Sandbox I'd vaguely suspected this for a while, but it seems Codex's command execution environment runs inside a sandbox. You can spot the clues from within Codex: $ env | grep CODEX CODEX_CI=1 CODEX_SANDBOX=seatbelt CODEX_THREAD_ID=019e7806-6025-7c13-a3c6-a70d41c13905 "seatbelt" refers to Apple Seatbelt, which appears to be macOS's sandboxing mechanism. 🔗 macOSで手軽にSandbox環境を構築できるApple Seatbeltの実践ガイド しかしながら、Apple Seatbeltは公式にドキュメントを公開されておらず、非推奨とされています。一方で実際には多くのアプリケーションやツールで使用されています。 (English translation) However, Apple Seatbelt has no officially published documentation and is considered deprecated. Yet in practice, it's used by many applications and tools. I see... According to this article, Claude Code also adopts Apple Seatbelt, and I confirmed that it can be enabled with /sandbox (see the official documentation ). Coming from a background of being used to Claude Code, Codex's sandbox is hard to wrap my head around, but the following article covers it in detail. Much appreciated. 🔗 [Codex] sandbox実行の仕組みと設定方法を完全に理解する Codex also seems to r
