A developer using OpenAI's Codex CLI (gpt-5.6-luna model) encountered a hilarious bug: the model seemingly forgot its identity, forcing the user to manually remind it that 'it was not Claude'.
The issue was submitted as a bug on GitHub and officially labeled with model-behavior. This cross-model identity confusion highlights a funny, notable moment in the use of AI coding assistants.
