Codex 0.169.0 released: terminal supports multiple side chat tabs
Understand this story
OpenAI releases Codex 0.169.0; the terminal workspace (requires opt-in) supports multiple side chat tabs, switchable via keyboard or mouse, and saved local side chats can be reopened after restart. On macOS and Linux, through an optional Cloud connection, users can send images, select models and reasoning effort, and archive or restore Cloud sessions within the terminal. Custom model provider editing is newly added in the terminal; after enabling the custom gateway onboarding, providers can be created at login, and device codes can be used for supported gateways over SSH or when no local browser is available. Pressing Ctrl+S in the terminal report editor saves a diagnostic ZIP locally, even if uploads are disabled. codex exec still disables project configuration and MCP servers by default in untrusted directories; trust must be explicitly saved with --trust.
