OpenAI Codex speeds up steering, expands resets
OpenAI is rolling out faster steering in Codex desktop, letting developers redirect running tasks sooner or queue instructions for the next turn, alongside clearer usage-reset controls. The October 8 update improves long-running agentic coding workflows without introducing a new model. [OpenAI release notes](https://openai.com/ja-JP/products/release-notes/)
This is a practical control-plane upgrade: agent reliability depends as much on correcting drift cheaply as on model capability.
- –Steer applies corrections to the active run, while Queue preserves them for the next turn.
- –Desktop users can choose their default follow-up behavior; CLI users can steer with Enter or queue with Tab.
- –Banked full resets refresh five-hour and weekly usage windows, though they can also change the next weekly reset date. [Usage guide](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001498-how-banked-codex-resets-work)
- –The controls reduce wasted inference and abandoned runs, but they do not eliminate plan quotas or guarantee unlimited availability.
