OpenAI just announced a major update to Codex CLI, and it looks like a game-changer for anyone building with AI.
Here’s what’s new:
- GPT-5 agentic coding — more reliable and capable than before
- Redesigned terminal UI — smoother, cleaner coding experience
- Image inputs — work with visuals directly in the CLI
- Message queuing + simplified approval modes — streamline multi-step coding
- To-do lists + task tracking — organize your dev flow inside the CLI
- Web search integration — extend capabilities beyond local code
And the big part:
Codex now works as one agent across your IDE, terminal, cloud, GitHub, and even your phone — all synced with your ChatGPT account.
It’s included in Plus, Pro, Team, Edu, and Enterprise plans.
👉 You can download the IDE extensions or install the CLI from the new Codex developer hub.
