kevinkern · x · 2026-07-17
The author shares a practical insight regarding Codex: it requires all agents to use the same model. This ensures that multiple agents maintain a consistent performance level and collaborate more effectively when solving problems.
The post also notes that while mixing in lighter models could save time and usage, it might degrade quality during critical tasks. The core conclusion is that a trade-off exists between consistency and efficiency, making a unified, high-quality model more suitable for mission-critical operations.
