Codex capability radar

Is Codex getting worse?

Compare the latest GPT-5.6 capability scores across reasoning efforts and see whether several settings are falling together.

GPT-6 Astra capability monitoring is also supported. Select a model to view its scores and trend. GPT-6 results will appear when Codex Radar publishes measurements.

Reasoning effort comparison

Which effort is measuring best today?

Higher effort is not automatically better. “Best measured” means the highest current score on this benchmark—not a guarantee for every coding task.

Codex capability FAQ

Is Codex getting worse?+

We look for the same downward movement across multiple reasoning efforts. One lower score can be ordinary benchmark variation, so the page only calls out a possible broad drop when at least two comparable efforts fall together.

Is High better than Max or Ultra?+

Sometimes. A higher reasoning setting is not automatically better for every task. The effort comparison shows the latest measured score for each setting, and leaves a setting blank when no public result exists.

Is this the same as Codex Juice?+

No. Juice is an observed runtime-budget signal. Capability scores come from coding-task results. A Juice change may tell us that a configuration changed, but it does not prove that coding quality improved or declined.

Does the capability radar track GPT-6 Astra?+

Yes. Select GPT-6 Astra to view its public benchmark observations when available. GPT-5.6 Sol retains its own history. Trends compare only the same model, reasoning effort, and benchmark suite; a model launch alone does not establish an improvement or decline.
