Plugins that travel with you
Codex 0.147.0 adds portable Agent Plugins: install once and search across local, personal, workspace, and remote catalogs. Your review, lint, and MCP setups stop being trapped in a single repo's config.
MCP servers that don't stall your session
The release adds opt-in support for the MCP 2026-07-28 protocol — paginated tool discovery, multi-round requests, and non-blocking server startup. Big tool catalogs load in the background instead of freezing the CLI on launch.
Bearer tokens stop leaking into your logs
Codex now redacts secrets and complete bearer tokens from displayed commands and replayed conversation history. Sharing a transcript or resuming a session no longer risks handing over live credentials.
Sections for sprawling sessions
You can now organize a conversation into persistent, manually ordered sections and browse long transcripts incrementally, instead of scrolling one endless thread on a multi-hour agent run.
Elsewhere: Gemini Omni Flash makes video edits conversational
Google's new Omni Flash model generates and edits clips from text, image, video, or audio references — swapping camera angles or whole environments by voice — and it's live in the Gemini API, AI Studio, and Flow. A weekend short-film pipeline just got a lot cheaper.
