What version of Codex is running?

0.1.2505172129

Which model were you using?

codex-mini-latest

What platform is your computer?

Ubuntu 24.04

What steps can reproduce the bug?

➜ codex "print hello world"
The model "codex-mini-latest" does not appear in the list of models available to your account. Double-check the spelling (use
openai models list
to see the full list) or choose another model with the --model flag.

What is the expected behavior?

It works

What do you see instead?

The model "codex-mini-latest" does not appear in the list of models available to your account. Double-check the spelling (use

Additional information

I tried the regular Codex (non CLI) as that's now available to ChatGPT Plus users and thought the CLI should also work.

Codex CLI is a different thing apparently. It charges you based on OpenAI's API Cost.
