OpenAI Codex CLI 0.166.0: keyboard transcript selection, GPT-6.1 Terra in Vertex AI and Bedrock catalogs, codex doctor network checks

OpenAI published the stable Codex CLI release rust-v0.166.0 on GitHub at 19:47 UTC on Oct 29. It adds keyboard-driven transcript selection by word, line and page with built-in search, adds GPT-6.1 Terra to the bundled, Vertex AI and Amazon Bedrock model catalogs, introduces codex queue --resume and codex doctor --network-only, and shows clearer safety-block explanations with selectable safer follow-up prompts in the TUI.

Key Takeaways

  • Model catalogs: GPT-6.1 Terra added to the bundled, Vertex AI and Amazon Bedrock catalogs (#57293)
  • Transcript: keyboard selection by word, line and page, integrated search and configurable shortcuts (#57221 to #57224)
  • New commands: codex queue --resume resumes unloaded threads after queueing a message; codex doctor --network-only checks config, connectivity and WebSocket
  • Safety UX: clearer explanations when a request is blocked, plus selectable safer follow-up prompts (#57363, #57365)
  • Fixes: approval and permission settings survive resume and fork, and reasoning-token accounting is preserved to avoid premature compaction

Google Cloud Open-Sources TorchTPU: Native PyTorch on Google TPU Hardware with Day-Zero vLLM and SGLang Support

Google Cloud officially open-sourced TorchTPU, enabling native, zero-compilation-barrier PyTorch execution directly on Google Cloud TPU hardware (TPU v5p and TPU v6e). Overcoming the legacy friction of PyTorch/XLA's rigid graph compilation and dynamic-shape stalls, TorchTPU supports native PyTorch eager execution and custom Triton/C++ kernels. Leading high-throughput serving engines vLLM and SGLang announced immediate Day-0 support. Concurrently, Google Cloud introduced OpenAI models and Codex into its Vertex Model Garden, becoming the first hyperscaler to offer all three top frontier closed models.

Google Cloud Open-Sources TorchTPU: Native PyTorch on Google TPU Hardware with Day-Zero vLLM and SGLang Support

Key Takeaways

  • Google Cloud open-sources TorchTPU, delivering native, compilation-free PyTorch execution on TPU v5p and TPU v6e hardware
  • Eliminates PyTorch/XLA graph-compilation overhead, natively supporting PyTorch eager mode and custom Triton/C++ kernels
  • vLLM and SGLang announce immediate Day-0 TorchTPU releases, unlocking substantial throughput boosts on TPU infrastructure
  • OpenAI frontier models and Codex join Google Cloud's Model Garden, solidifying Google Cloud as the premier multi-model hyperscaler

Claude Code 2.1.304 adds guided /auto-mode-setup and warns Pro/Max users before resuming an inactive conversation would eat into the 5-hour usage limit

Claude Code v2.1.304 (Oct 19 UTC) adds /auto-mode-setup, a guided setup that reads your project and recent sessions to teach auto mode about your environment, now also on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, Claude apps gateway and telemetry-disabled sessions. It adds a read-only /claude-api managed-agents-secure check against Anthropic's security guide, warns Pro/Max users when resuming an inactive conversation would use a noticeable share of the 5-hour limit, and fixes 40+ issues including claude --worktree deleting a worktree and branch without asking, which could lose commits.

Key Takeaways

  • New /auto-mode-setup reads your project and recent sessions to teach auto mode your environment, now on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, Claude apps gateway and telemetry-disabled sessions
  • New read-only /claude-api managed-agents-secure compares a Managed Agents agent's settings with Anthropic's published security guide
  • Pro/Max plans get a warning when resuming an inactive conversation would use a noticeable share of the 5-hour usage limit
  • Mods gain decider: "person" and e.isReadOnly in tool.check, so only a human permission dialog can approve certain calls
  • 40+ fixes, incl. claude --worktree removing the worktree and branch without asking (could lose commits) and CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW=200k silently becoming 100K

Claude Code 2.1.278: Auto Mode defaults to server-side classifier

Claude Code 2.1.278 changes Auto Mode for Claude API, Enterprise, and Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry/gateway users to default to the server-side classifier, which does not charge classifier overhead. Set CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER=0 to opt out on gateways; billed fallback warns. /status adds an Auto mode server row for the session.

Key Takeaways

  • Auto Mode defaults to the server-side classifier with no classifier overhead; gateways can opt out via CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER=0.
  • Warns on billed fallback; see code.claude.com/docs/en/auto-mode-classifier-billing.
  • /status shows Auto mode server; notes at github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases/tag/v2.1.278.

Claude Code 2.1.277: read AGENTS.md when CLAUDE.md is missing

Anthropic staff announced that Claude Code 2.1.277 adds AGENTS.md support: if a project folder has no CLAUDE.md, Claude reads AGENTS.md for project instructions, toggleable under Project instructions in /config. The official changelog lists about 87 CLI changes, including fixing silent hangs in claude -p and Agent SDK sessions after internal errors. The feature is not yet available on Bedrock, Vertex, or Foundry.

Key Takeaways
