ChatGPT Codex Rolls Out Multi-Solution Feature to Aid Developers
<p data-start="359" data-end="549">Coders using ChatGPT Codex now have something new to work with: options. The AI can suggest several solutions at once for a single task, putting more control back in the hands of developers.</p>
<p data-start="551" data-end="887">OpenAI’s latest update makes Codex a bit more than a clever code assistant. It’s still not replacing junior engineers anytime soon, but it’s stepping up. The tool, which integrates with GitHub and helps write and test code, now gives users the ability to review multiple approaches without having to rephrase or re-prompt over and over.</p>
<h2 data-start="889" data-end="938">Codex Gets a Boost With Multi-Response Support</h2>
<p data-start="940" data-end="1102">Before this update, Codex gave you one solution at a time. If you wanted another approach, you&#8217;d have to ask. Again. And again. Now? You get a bunch, all at once.</p>
<p data-start="1104" data-end="1353">That’s a small change on the surface. But it shifts how developers can interact with the tool. Think of it like this: you’re no longer waiting on one cook in the kitchen. You’ve got a team bringing you dishes, and you get to pick which one to serve.</p>
<p data-start="1355" data-end="1482">It also means less frustration, less repetition. And that matters when you’re juggling deadlines, pull requests, and bug fixes.</p>
<p data-start="1484" data-end="1587">One developer described the change as “like flipping through tabs in your head — but with actual code.”</p>
<p data-start="1484" data-end="1587"><a href="https://www.theibulletin.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/chatgpt-codex-github-coding-interface.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-57682" src="https://www.theibulletin.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/chatgpt-codex-github-coding-interface.jpg" alt="chatgpt codex github coding interface" width="1261" height="824" /></a></p>
<h2 data-start="1589" data-end="1622">Not Just Smarter, Smoother Too</h2>
<p data-start="1624" data-end="1777">The update isn’t just about adding more brains. It also brings polish to the workflow. Several subtle but meaningful tweaks are bundled into the release.</p>
<p data-start="1779" data-end="1842">First off, Codex now has keyboard shortcuts for quicker access:</p>
<ul data-start="1843" data-end="1938">
<li data-start="1843" data-end="1938">
<p data-start="1845" data-end="1938">Press â-/ on macOS or Ctrl-/ on Windows/Linux to instantly open Codex inside ChatGPT.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="1940" data-end="2077">That alone saves seconds, maybe minutes, in a day. And when you’re in the thick of debugging or experimenting, those seconds add up fast.</p>
<p data-start="2079" data-end="2334">There’s also a new parameter, branch=, added alongside the older options like environment, prompt, and tab=archived. It’s a small tweak, but it gives developers better control over what they’re running — especially in complex repositories.</p>
<h2 data-start="2336" data-end="2382">Under-the-Hood Fixes You’ll Actually Notice</h2>
<p data-start="2384" data-end="2499">Sure, the big feature is the multi-response update. But if you scroll through the changelog, there’s more going on.</p>
<p data-start="2501" data-end="2700">Some of the issues Codex users were facing have now been addressed. Like failed setups and buggy environments. These little gremlins can wreck productivity, so cleaning them out was a welcome change.</p>
<p data-start="2702" data-end="2750">Here’s a quick look at what’s fixed or improved:</p>
<ul data-start="2752" data-end="3074">
<li data-start="2752" data-end="2814">
<p data-start="2754" data-end="2814">Tasks that failed mid-setup? Shouldn’t be a problem anymore.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="2815" data-end="2870">
<p data-start="2817" data-end="2870">You can now cancel tasks instead of waiting them out.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="2871" data-end="2927">
<p data-start="2873" data-end="2927">Codex is better at understanding network restrictions.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="2928" data-end="2983">
<p data-start="2930" data-end="2983">Git-ignored file changes won’t break follow-up tasks.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="2984" data-end="3074">
<p data-start="2986" data-end="3074">Setup scripts can now run for up to 20 minutes on Pro, Team, and Business plans.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="3076" data-end="3281">And if you like seeing what’s happening under the hood, you’re in luck — Codex now updates its status text faster during operations. Less staring at vague messages like “working&#8230;” and more real feedback.</p>
<h2 data-start="3283" data-end="3334">A Cleaner Coding Interface and Better Code Diffs</h2>
<p data-start="3336" data-end="3484">The user interface didn’t get left behind in this round of updates. One small tweak stands out, especially for those who live and breathe Git diffs.</p>
<p data-start="3486" data-end="3653">You can now option-click a code diff header to expand or collapse all sections. It&#8217;s one of those things that sounds minor but feels major when you&#8217;re in the zone.</p>
<p data-start="3655" data-end="3899">Even the loading indicator got a refresh — now you’ll actually know when your repo is being downloaded during container setup. It’s the kind of quality-of-life update that makes the whole tool feel more reliable and less like a beta experiment.</p>
<p data-start="3901" data-end="3962">Here’s a look at some of the usability changes in table form:</p>

<h2 data-start="4917" data-end="4965">Codex Is Still No Junior Dev, But It’s Trying</h2>
<p data-start="4967" data-end="5220">Let’s be clear: Codex isn&#8217;t replacing entry-level engineers yet. You can’t just throw it a project and expect flawless delivery. But it’s starting to act like a helpful team member — someone you can bounce ideas off, who gives more than just one option.</p>
<p data-start="5222" data-end="5371">That’s a big deal for folks working alone or in lean teams. Especially in startups or small engineering groups, where time and headcount are limited.</p>
<p data-start="5373" data-end="5409">It’s still a tool. But a better one.</p>
<p data-start="5411" data-end="5673">Codex runs each task in a sandbox and pulls directly from GitHub, so it’s deeply integrated into real developer workflows. And now, with the ability to choose from multiple approaches instantly, the pace at which you can experiment — and deliver — is picking up.</p>
<h2 data-start="5675" data-end="5718">Still a Premium Tool With Limited Access</h2>
<p data-start="5720" data-end="5806">Codex isn’t free. You’ll need a $20 Plus subscription to access it inside ChatGPT.</p>
<p data-start="5808" data-end="5955">That puts it out of reach for some hobbyists and learners. But for working developers or teams already invested in ChatGPT Pro, it adds real value.</p>
<p data-start="5957" data-end="6188">Also, Codex is based on a fine-tuned version of the o3 model, tailored for coding. OpenAI calls it codex-1, and it&#8217;s optimized to be more accurate in programming tasks — from writing boilerplate to generating pull requests.</p>
<p data-start="6190" data-end="6328">Still, even with these features, it’s not a substitute for actual development experience. The tool works best as a sidekick, not the lead.</p>
