Codex CLI adds voice. The recovery fixes matter more
Codex CLI 0.155 adds experimental voice and safer worktree cleanup. I explain the fixes for lost prompts, restarted sessions and the next-day hotfix.

Fable 5.2 rumors: better answers need better evidence
Reddit users suspect a hidden Fable upgrade. I traced the claims to their sources and checked what would actually establish a new Claude model release.
Claude Code weekly limits fell 16.7%. Here's why
Claude Code's promotion ended on 14 September. I explain the smaller weekly allowance, the 25% versus 16.7% calculation and what five-hour warnings mean.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: low API prices, huge open weights
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash activates 8B parameters on input, but its full weights are enormous. I explain the API prices, coding scores and server requirements.
OpenAI Agents API: what the Codex harness takes over
OpenAI now hosts the Codex agent loop for your application. I explain how the Agents API differs from the SDK, what persists and which costs remain.
GPT-6 Astra costs 2.5x Sol per token. It talks like a person
OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra is metered at 2.5 times Sol's rate and feels more human in conversation. I checked the limits, the benchmarks, and the first reactions.
Muse Spark 1.3 sat above GPT-6 for two days. Here's why
Muse Spark 1.3 scored 62 on Artificial Analysis, above GPT-6 Astra, then fell to ninth in a rescore. I traced where the score came from and what it costs.
Fable 5.1 beats Fable 5. Opus is harder to replace
Fable 5.1 leads its predecessor on long agent tasks, but Opus 5 stays close at half the base token price. I checked the benchmarks and first reports.
I'm torn between Claude and Codex
Codex gives me more usage, cleaner frontend work, and a smoother app. Claude still finishes my large multi-agent features in hours instead of all day.
Opus 5 is not as bad as the internet says
After five weeks of daily use, I think Opus 5 is much better than its online reputation. Clear plans and smaller tasks reveal a strong coding model.
Codex Plus can stop work with 84% of weekly usage left
OpenAI's five-hour gate can interrupt concentrated Codex work while weekly usage remains. It limits when Plus can work, not necessarily total usage.
Cursor didn't remove the IDE. Here's how to get it back
Cursor's Agents Window can open first, but Editor Window remains supported. I map the commands and startup setting that put code back in front of you.
