OpenAI · Codex app·May 21, 2026

Appshots, goal mode, and more

Appshots are now available in the Codex app on macOS. Press both Command keys to send the frontmost app window to Codex with a screenshot and available text, so Codex can work from context in another app without you copying, pasting, or describing it manually. This launch also includes: Goal mode is no longer an experimental feature and is available in the Codex app, IDE extension, and CLI. With Goal mode, you can have Codex drive toward a specific objective for hours or even days. Remote computer use, so Codex can use desktop apps after your Mac locks, including remotely via Codex Mobile. Codex scopes locked use to active, trusted computer use turns and includes safeguards such as short-lived authorization, covered displays, relock on local input, and manual-unlock fallback. Plugin sharing through marketplace sources is available for ChatGPT Business. Enterprise support is coming soon. Teams can distribute reusable plugin bundles that include skills, MCP servers, and lifecycle hooks. Advanced in-app browser annotations let you tweak styling such as font size, colors, and spacing directly using annotations. This gives Codex a clearer signal for changes. Browser-use improvements across in-app browser & Chrome: Codex can now download and extract all image assets from a page much more quickly. Codex can now extract structured data from pages more effectively and find information more quickly with a read-only JS sandbox. Chrome extension will create less clutter when using it. Codex will no longer create tab groups when taking over existing tabs, and at the end of a task for handoff. Instead, it uses tab icons to indicate status. Significantly improved reliability for browser use. We fixed bugs on Windows, flaky availability of the plugin to non geo-blocked regions, and many other issues impacting performance.

Released gemini-3.5-flash, the generally available (GA) version of Gemini 3.5 Flash, our most intelligent model for sustained frontier performance on agentic and coding tasks. This is now the model behind gemini-flash-latest. Launched the Managed Agents in the Gemini API in public preview. This enables developers to build and deploy autonomous, stateful agents that run in secure, isolated Google-hosted Linux sandbox environments. To learn more, see the Agents overview page and the Quickstart. Released the general-purpose Antigravity Agent managed agent, antigravity-preview-05-2026, in public preview. The Antigravity agent can autonomously plan, reason, write and execute code, manage files, and browse the web inside its sandbox container.

Set speed: "fast" with model: "claude-opus-4-7" and the fast-mode-2026-02-01 beta header for significantly faster output token generation at premium pricing. Pricing, rate limits, and access are the same as for Opus 4.6 fast mode; interested customers should join the waitlist.

Codex app

Added an in-app trust review flow for hooks and kept Hooks settings reachable even before hooks are fully configured. Performance improvements and bug fixes. Restored tooltip-wrapped dropdowns that could stop opening after the tooltip rewrite. Preserved in-progress message edits across thread switches. Fixed several desktop workflow regressions, including Ctrl+V paste in the Windows terminal, opening modified external links outside the in-app browser, and keeping feedback slash commands attached to the right thread. Improved loading and panel polish by showing model loading while a thread resumes, hiding unavailable model controls during load, and bundling summary-panel layout and hover fixes. Kept the Computer Use settings control visible even when uninstalled and disabled problematic extension hover panels. Additional performance improvements and bug fixes.

Added sandbox.bwrapPath and sandbox.socatPath managed settings (Linux/WSL) to specify custom bubblewrap and socat binary locations.
