Codex Compresses Code Diff to 1/10 Size on Request

A developer shared an interesting experience using OpenAI Codex: after the model initially generated a massive code diff, the developer asked it to halve the code. Codex successfully met the request and even delivered a working version that was only one-tenth of the original size. This highlights the current capabilities of AI coding assistants in context understanding and code refactoring.
