Codex CLI gets a built-in Vertex AI provider
Codex CLI now talks to Google Cloud on its own.
The latest release adds a built-in Google Cloud Vertex AI provider, set with model_, and puts GPT-6.1 Terra in the model catalogs.
What changed
Teams that buy models through Google Cloud get a direct route into Codex. Codex also stops retrying when a provider says a model wasn’t found, and keeps that provider’s error message.
Also in this release
- You can change reasoning effort during a conversation by default on supported models.
- Fresh profiles get memory v2 by default, and it can import memories from other agents.
- The session picker has a repository filter, which helps when you work across linked worktrees.
- Queued agent messages no longer restart work after you interrupt or switch to Plan mode.
- A marketplace URL check is fixed. Before, Git could connect to a different host than the one checked against your allowed patterns.
What to do
Update Codex CLI to the latest release. If you allow marketplaces by URL pattern, this update closes that gap.
