Last evening I was working fine with Open Ai Codex in Pinegrow.
This morning I am getting this error:
Error: {“detail”:“The ‘gpt-5-codex’ model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account.”}
I have tried changing the models in the terminal and in Pinegrow settings. Have tried them all but all of them are returning me the same error.
I have tried codex in the terminal and it is working ok.
Any idea what has change since last night?
Thanks!
Hi Carlos,
Thanks for the detailed report, your analysis matches what we are observing on our side.
Codex has recently shifted its behavior quite significantly. It now strongly steers models toward directly editing files, which bypasses Pinegrow’s editing system. This makes the integration increasingly unreliable and harder to control within Pinegrow.
This behavior has become even more pronounced with GPT-5.2 and newer models.
At the same time, Codex with a ChatGPT subscription no longer supports the model that Pinegrow currently relies on (gpt-5-codex ). This results in the error you’re seeing, even when selecting other presets, because they still resolve internally to that model.
These changes are outside of our control and reflect how quickly the AI tooling ecosystem is evolving right now. While there was a time when Codex integration was a viable and interesting solution inside Pinegrow, this no longer seems to be the case today.
In practice, the most reliable model in our tests was the base GPT-5 (non-Codex variant), but it is not usable in this Codex + ChatGPT setup anymore.
This is also why the feature was always labeled as Beta. At this point, it is unlikely that it will ever transition into a stable, production-ready feature.
Given this situation, we will most likely remove Codex from Pinegrow.
The recommended approach going forward is to use Codex outside Pinegrow, via the dedicated app or CLI. This is currently the most reliable setup, especially for tasks like creating or fixing JavaScript.
Thanks again for your report, it helped confirm the situation.
Best,
Thanks for your reply.
Understand these AI integrationa are a moving target.
Hoping Claude CLI don’t do the same now.
Quick question, to your knowledge, which provider is offering, inside pinegrow, the best possible outcome?
Thanks for quick response.
Carlos
