GPT-5-Codex-Mini

OpenAIProprietaryPending Human Review

GPT-5-Codex-Mini is the separately introduced smaller coding tier of GPT-5-Codex. It launched in the Codex CLI and IDE extension as a less expensive, less capable option that provided approximately four times more subscription usage. Codex suggested switching near a user’s usage limit. This November 7 identity predates the distinct GPT-5.1-Codex-Mini release on November 13; no standalone public API endpoint is established by the launch record.
