OpenAI Codex 0.167.0 Adds Agent Command Center and Backend Switching

At a glance

OpenAI's coding tool Codex has released version 0.167.0. Users can switch between multiple backends (the connected AI service servers) from the terminal, and the agent command center shows results that have not yet been checked. Image preview and a Google Cloud Vertex AI setup wizard have also been added.

Key points

1. 1

   In the terminal session list, you can switch the connected backend, and your unfinished draft remains even after switching.

2. 2

   On the composing screen, you can preview local images if your terminal supports it.

3. 3

   With the gcp_setup_wizard setting, you can connect Google Cloud Vertex AI by following the guided steps.

4. 4

   Saved conversations remain in the list even after switching to a previous model provider.

Why it matters

People who move between several AI services can now switch tools without losing their conversations.
