About GPT-5-Codex-Mini
GPT-5-Codex-Mini is a compact and cost-efficient version of GPT-5-Codex designed to deliver roughly four times more usage with only a slight tradeoff in capability. It’s optimized for handling routine or lighter programming tasks while maintaining reliable output quality. Developers can access it through the CLI and IDE extension by signing in with ChatGPT, with API access coming soon. The system automatically suggests switching to GPT-5-Codex-Mini when users near 90% of their rate limits, helping extend uninterrupted usage. ChatGPT Plus, Business, and Edu users receive 50% higher rate limits, offering more flexibility for frequent workflows. Pro and Enterprise accounts are prioritized for faster processing, ensuring smoother, high-speed performance across larger workloads.

GPT-5.6 Luna
GPT-5.6 Luna is the fast and affordable model in OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 series, built to bring strong capability to users and developers who need practical intelligence with lower overhead. In the new GPT-5.6 naming system, the number identifies the model generation, while Sol, Terra, and Luna identify durable capability tiers that can advance on their own cadence, giving people and developers clearer choices across intelligence, speed, and cost. Luna sits alongside Sol, the flagship model, and Terra, the balanced model for everyday work, as part of a family designed for broader access to next-generation AI. During the limited preview, GPT-5.6 models are initially available through the API and Codex to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with plans for broader availability in ChatGPT, Codex, and the API. OpenAI developed GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna with its most robust safeguards to date, with configurations matched to each model’s capabilities.

OpenAI Codex
Codex is an AI-powered coding agent from OpenAI designed to help developers build, manage, and ship software more efficiently across the entire development lifecycle. It acts as an intelligent pair programmer that can understand codebases, generate features, and deliver production-ready pull requests. Codex can safely execute commands in sandboxed environments while assisting with debugging, refactoring, and testing. A key advancement is its computer use capability, allowing it to operate your computer by seeing, clicking, and typing across applications. This enables Codex to interact with tools that don’t have APIs, making it useful for tasks like frontend testing and app navigation. The platform also includes an in-app browser and integrations with various developer tools for a more unified workflow. Codex supports automation by handling ongoing tasks such as monitoring, issue triage, and follow-ups.
