Codex
vrust-v0.148.0-alpha.4liveOpenAI's coding agent in the terminal, and what I'm reaching for right now. The feature pace is leading the edge past Claude Code at the moment, the models behind it are strong, and the workflow feels confident in a way that is hard to describe until you use it. It handles long-running tasks, multi-file edits, and the kind of "go figure it out" prompts that used to require babysitting. Good first move if you're past beginner Cursor and ready for CLI-driven AI development. I'd recommend it to anyone who's already comfortable in a terminal and wants the current state-of-the-art coding agent.
