Codex-style workflows keep pushing coding-agent quality higher
curious_vii · x · 2026-07-20
Using ultracode workflows (or the Codex equivalent) can produce comically better results, according to the poster. They argue the ceiling for frontier token usage keeps rising, and that if they could enable recursive multi-agent reasoning pods with the largest models and maximum tokens on every prompt, they would.
The remaining bottleneck, in their view, is not capability but UX and orchestration: these systems still need toggles and “magic words” to be triggered, but this behavior will likely be absorbed into smoother products soon.
