- Memory files now include the working directory in stored context, improving memory behavior when switching between different project directories. (#11591) ## Bug Fixes - Model resolution now preserves the requested model slug when selecting by prefix, so model references stay stable instead of being rewritten. (#11602) - Developer messages are now excluded from phase-1 memory input, reducing noisy or irrelevant content entering memory. (#11608) - Memory phase processing concurrency was reduced to make consolidation/staging more stable under load. (#11614) ## Chores - Cleaned and simplified the phase-1 memory pipeline code paths. (#11605) - Minor repository maintenance: formatting and test-suite hygiene updates in remote model tests.

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.
Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager:
# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex
Then simply run codex to get started.
You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.
Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:
- macOS
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz - x86_64 (older Mac hardware):
codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
