A Research Preview of Codex

So it's looking like it's only running in the cloud, that is it will push commits to my remote repo before I have a chance to see if it works?

When I'm using aider, after it make a commit what I do, I then immediately run git reset HEAD^ and then git diff (actually I use github desktop client to see the diff) to evaluate what exactly it did, and if I like it or not. Then I usually make some adjustments and only after that commit and push.

You can think of this as a managed (cloud) version of their codex command line tool, which runs locally on your laptop.

The secret sauce here seems like their new model, but I expect it to come to API at some point.

watch the live stream, it shows you the diff as the completed task, you decide whether or not to generate a github pr when you see the diff.

You may want to pass --no-auto-commits to Aider if you peel them off HEAD afterwards anyway.

This takes all the soul out of programming, not sure why anyone likes to use llms like this.
