In this video, I'll be catching up on the latest Codex updates from OpenAI, including the big Desktop app refresh, new browser and computer use features, and the latest CLI upgrades that make Codex more powerful and reliable for real workflows. -- Key Takeaways: š Codex Desktop is evolving into a full AI workbench with an in-app browser, computer use on macOS, chats, automations, and better pull request workflows. š¾ Codex Pets add a playful floating overlay, but they also help you keep track of active threads and agent status while working in other apps. āļø CLI version 0.122.0 improves side conversations, queued input, planning workflows, permissions, sandboxing, and plugin support. š Codex is getting stronger security and trust controls with deny-read policies, trusted workspaces, and better sandbox enforcement. āļø Version 0.123.0 and 0.124.0 add Amazon Bedrock support, better MCP debugging, quick reasoning controls, and more app-server flexibility. š§ GPT-5.5 is now the recommended model for many Codex tasks, with GPT-5.4 still available as a fallback during rollout. š Browser use and automatic approval reviews make Codex better at verifying UI changes and handling risky actions more safely. š ļø Version 0.125.0 improves app-server plumbing, plugin management, permission consistency, rollout tracing, and session reliability. š Overall, Codex is becoming a much more complete coding platform, not just a CLI tool with a UI.
