Running a tiny drone on Codex: 12-20 seconds per decision is the bottleneck
kfountou · x · 2026-10-22
A hands-on update on piloting a small drone with Codex: the drone hovers between decisions with acceptable but imperfect stability due to the lack of distance sensors. The major bottleneck is latency — Codex takes about 12-20 seconds per decision, which is a serious constraint for a tiny drone with a small battery.
