Codex CLI 0.153.0 adds a remote plugin marketplace to your terminal
OpenAI's terminal agent gains third-party plugins, real Vim undo/redo, and earlier quota alerts — while GPT-5.6 reaches Bedrock in Australia.

Plugin marketplaces come to the CLI
The Codex CLI can now list, install, and remove plugins straight from remote marketplaces — the same extensibility Claude Code has, now in OpenAI's terminal agent. You can pull in third-party tools and workflows without hand-editing config.
Vim mode finally has undo and redo
Vim mode now supports `u` to undo and `Ctrl+R` to redo, and it preserves your full draft — pasted content and attachments included. No more losing a long prompt to one stray keystroke.
A heads-up before you hit the wall
Plus and Team users now get warned when under half their ~5-hour allowance remains, instead of finding out at zero. Pace a heavy session before you're throttled mid-task.
A TUI history you can audit
The terminal history now shows complete patches, the input sent to background terminals, and each completed command on its own — so you can see exactly what the agent did. Set `tui.auto_recap = false` to silence auto-recaps while keeping manual `/recap`.
Elsewhere: GPT-5.6 reaches Bedrock in Australia
AWS switched on cross-Region inference for OpenAI's Sol, Terra, and Luna from Sydney (ap-southeast-2) and Melbourne (ap-southeast-4) — all three at 1M-token context with image input. Australian teams hit local endpoints with no region-routing code.
Elsewhere: Qwen3.8-27B ships open weights
Qwen's 27B vision-language model is out under Apache 2.0 with a native 262K context (1M via YaRN) and 61.7% on SWE-bench Pro. It's a self-hostable coding-and-vision model you can run without an API bill.
