·2026.08.28 09:00

Key point

OpenAI Codex adds a 'persistent' option to the reasoning-effort protocol and supports it in the TUI and SDK.

Details

OpenAI Codex has added the persistent option to the reasoning-effort protocol and TypeScript SDK types. This change displays the persistent reasoning capabilities advertised by models as 'Persistent' in the Terminal User Interface (TUI), while maintaining the 'persistent' value in local settings but sending the 'disabled' value to the Responses API.

Key Changes

  • Protocol and SDK Updates: Added the persistent field to the reasoning-effort protocol and TypeScript SDK types.
  • TUI Display Changes: Clearly displays the persistent reasoning capabilities supported by models as 'Persistent' in the TUI.
  • Settings and API Integration: Preserves the persistent value in local configuration files but converts it to send the disabled wire value to the Responses API during actual API requests.

Test Coverage

The feature was tested across various scenarios, including parsing and serialization, request transformation, remote model requests, TUI reasoning selector, and TypeScript CLI argument passing.
