OpenAI is preparing a Codex Replay feature that lets users test task execution from any imported conversation thread.
> "Start an independent Codex Replay controller on an available loopback port. In both Codex Desktop and Codex CLI, prefer an available Codex in-app browser and otherwise use your system browser."
> "Select one or more historical Claude threads, choose shared Codex models, and start their isolated implementations. Historical state and configuration are detected separately for each thread, with details available when needed."
> "View finished comparisons individually or in aggregate while remaining threads continue. Available GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna models are selected by default."
> "Multiple replay sessions can run in parallel. Selection, execution, verification, evaluation, and results stay in the browser controller instead of a guided chat workflow."

A new stealth model went live on OpenCode and OpenRouter!
It currently lets users run coding agents at zero cost on both platforms, and OpenCode says the free period runs for a week.
What's known so far 👀
> According to benchmarks, it performs close to Fable 5 level at a price of GPT-5.6 Terra.
> The model accepts images alongside text and supports tool calling.
> It handles 262K tokens of context and up to 131K tokens of output.
> Prompts are kept out of model training, and OpenCode lists a zero-retention policy on its platform.
