I'm struggling as well to understand, and I think perhaps they mean they use ChatGPT website with GPT-5.5+reasoning for problem solving, and paste the output into Codex CLI/App. I think they're saying that letting Codex CLI/App problem solve with GPT-5.5 isn't as effective. Essentially that the web harness is superior to the agentic engineering harness for problem solving?

Not sure if I agree, but I do happen to use a fair bit of web harness as well, just because I find it to be much more effective at web search and a different type of reasoning. So I must agree a little or else I wouldn't do that.

I assume they are lying and still think you can use gpt 5.5 non-codex within codex cli. And they outed themselves. A lot of nonsense. And the very poor communication skills just seem like the typical chinese astroturfing you see pretty often now when discussing OAI/Claude.

See, this is part of the confusion. There is no such thing as "GPT-5.5-codex". The last codex-branded model was "GPT-5.3-codex". Starting with "GPT-5.4" the main model handles agentic engineering and they did not release a coding model.

Both the web harness and codex app/cli use "GPT-5.5".
