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.

Because from a business point of view, they just want a feature to be built, they really care about the code if it works.

It generates a PR. You decide if you want to merge, clone it locally, test, edit and then merge the code.
