Users say GPT-5.6 Pro is better at reviewing Codex code than Codex itself
jarrodwatts · x · 2026-07-24
A user asks why Pro is not available inside Codex, and another reply says GPT-5.6 Pro is substantially smarter than 5.6 in Codex. The suggested workflow is to let Codex draft ideas, then use Pro to critique and fix the bad implementations and reasoning.
The complaint is that this back-and-forth is clumsy: people end up writing in Codex, pasting into Pro, then copying instructions back. The post highlights a real workflow gap between agentic coding and stronger review/reasoning modes.
