Unrolling the Codex agent loop

Ever wonder how AI models like Codex stay so efficient and flexible? Well, here’s the scoop — it's all about the agent loop. According to AI experts, the Codex CLI orchestrates models, tools, prompts, and performance in a seamless dance, all managed through the Responses API. Now, here’s where it gets interesting — by unrolling this loop, developers can better understand how Codex decides when to use a tool or just generate text. AI analysts point out that this process isn’t just about making things work; it’s about making them work smarter, adapting on the fly with precision. So what does this actually mean for you? It’s a step toward more autonomous, capable AI systems that can handle complex tasks without constant human oversight. As AI researcher OpenAI hints, mastering this loop could unlock even more powerful, flexible tools in the future. ((upbeat)) The takeaway? This isn’t just tech talk — it's a glimpse into how smarter AI is becoming, almost like giving it its own backstage pass.
