Just updated codex to v0.122.0 and got a pleasant surprise!

  1. gpt-5.5 (current)        Latest frontier agentic coding model.

  2. oai-2.1                  Latest frontier agentic coding model.

  3. gpt-5.4                  Latest frontier agentic coding model.

  4. gpt-5.2-codex            Frontier agentic coding model.

  5. arcanine                 Frontier model with legendary appetite for starches

  6. glacier-alpha            intelligence that moves continents

  7. glacier-alpha-block-cy3  ice-cold intelligence

  8. glacier-alpha-block-cy4  ice-cold intelligence

I am a bit puzzled as to what these other models are for.

and I'm being completely neutral and objective in saying this: Elon Musk has been a horrible capital allocator but great at financial engineering. X is still struggling to win back advertisers (they will never come back) and still in the red. I have little reason to believe this is also another careful and shrewd financial decision.

I'm going to be brutally honest but I have not found Kimi to be useful at all. It simply cannot compete with what closed models from Codex and Claude offers. I don't want to risk using a model outside the ecosystem and introduce variables as most of my workflow is baked into two to three large company models.

Is anybody using Grok or Cursor still? I've not used Cursor since the summer of 2025 and I've never bothered with Grok for coding. Hell, I've used Windsurf briefly for a few months.

I know a ton of people that use Codex, Claude, OpenCode but can't name a single person that uses Cursor or Grok that is knee deep into agentic coding.

I definitely do not keep it at home but the thought has crossed me for smaller less demanding boxes.

I see. What about modifying a memory of a loaded ROM with like hex codes? Is that what PokeMMO is doing as well to change gameplay like show another player's location and inventory?

but then how is PokeMMO still operating ? Weren't they both using game assets and creating an emulator essentially? Or did Turtle step out of bounds? It's a legally gray area so hard to find more details.

What is the rationale for using vercel ? I'm getting a lot of value out of cloudflare with the $5/month plan lately but my bare metal box with triple digit ram has seen zero downtime since 2015.

Only complaint about hetzner is how difficult it is to become a customer there.

No matter what I try, they refuse which is frustrating. Even setting up a new company is not a realistic solution as the verification still requires passport.

If anybody knows an alternative, kindly leave a suggestion.

Same I was excited about 4.7 but seeing more anecdotes to conclude its not big of a boost to justify the extra tokenflatino

Sticking with codex. Also GPT 5.5 is set to come next week.
