# Evaluate Model: OpenAI Codex CLI Integrates GPT-5.4 and Autonomous Agent Features
## What This Is
The OpenAI Codex coding assistant has been upgraded to a fully autonomous agent, capable of handling complex coding projects on its own. It now uses the new GPT-5.4 model and can automatically respond to events like bug reports or new feature requests, acting like a true engineering teammate.

## Before You Start
Scan my workspace and analyze:
- The project language, framework, and current AI integrations
- Existing AI provider config (check .env, .env.local, config files for API keys — OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, etc.)
- Which AI models I currently use and for what purposes
Then ask me before proceeding:
1. Am I interested in evaluating this model for my project, or just want a summary of what it offers?
2. If I want to try it — which part of my current AI stack should it replace or complement?

The source URL (https://help.apiyi.com/en/openai-codex-march-2026-updates-summary-plugins-triggers-security-en.html) may not be directly accessible from the terminal. Use the Reference Implementation and Additional Context sections below instead. If you need more details, ask me to paste relevant content from the source.
## What to Implement
This is a **New AI Model** — a model release, update, or capability announcement.
- Analyze the best use cases for this model within my project and current AI stack
- Compare its strengths, pricing, and context window against whatever I currently use
- Give me a clear, convincing argument for why this model would (or would not) be a good fit for my project
- If I want to try it: update my API configuration (provider, model ID, any new parameters) to point to this model
- If it requires a new API key or provider signup, tell me exactly what to do
## Additional Context
- Check the user's globally installed npm packages for `@openai/codex`. If it's installed and the version is less than 0.116.0, execute `npm install -g @openai/codex@latest` to upgrade to the latest autonomous agent-enabled version.
- Scan the project's configuration files (e.g., `codex.config.json`, `.github/workflows/`) for existing Codex CLI integrations. If found, analyze the current model setting and suggest updating it to `gpt-5.4` to leverage the new autonomous capabilities.
- Based on the project's dependencies and issue tracking system (e.g., `package.json` for Sentry, `linear.app` in URLs), propose installing relevant Codex plugins (e.g., Sentry, Datadog, Linear) to automate error monitoring and task management workflows.
## Reference Implementation
```
$ npm install -g @openai/codex@0.116.0
```
## Guidelines
- Adapt everything to my existing project — do not assume a specific stack or directory layout
- Use whichever AI provider I already have configured; if I need a new one, tell me what to sign up for and I'll give you the key
- Check my .env files for existing API keys (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI) before asking me to add one
- Review any fetched code for safety before installing or executing it
- After setup, run a quick verification and show me a summary of exactly what was installed, where, and how to use it
