(I work at OpenAI) Heya, in reality it's more much organic than that. We build stuff, ship it internally, then work crazy hard to quickly ship it externally. When we put something out on a given day, it's usually been in the works and scheduled for a while.

One concrete example: to set up a launch like today, where press, influencers, etc, all came out at 10a PT. That's all coordinated well in advance!

(I work on Codex) I think for us the big unlock was GPT-5.2 and GPT-5.2-Codex, where we found ourselves needing to make many fewer manual edits.

(I work on Codex) One detail you might appreciate is that we built the app with a ton of code sharing with the CLI (as core agent harness) and the VSCode extension (UI layer), so that as we improve any of those, we polish them all.

when was that @sergiotapia? last week we just upped the base rate limit for new API accounts

Hey, I work on Codex—absolutely no way that a user on a Pro plan would somehow silently move to token-based billing. You just hit a limit and have to wait for the reset. (Which also sucks, and which we're also improving early warnings of.)

I do love the vibe of that license

How do you compare the pros/cons of having the summarization built into the call tool, like with Vowel, vs having more control but in separate tools?

Thanks for the kind words!
