What version of Codex CLI is running?
0.121.0
What subscription do you have?
pro
Which model were you using?
gpt-5.3-codex
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm
What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?
ghostty
What issue are you seeing?
I did the official suggestions: https://openrouter.ai/docs/guides/coding-agents/codex-cli
I can start and when I issue any message at the cli I get:
■ {"error":{"code":"invalid_prompt","message":"Invalid Responses API request"},"metadata":{"raw":"[\n {\n \"code\": \"invalid_union\",\n \"errors\":[\n [\n {\n \"code\": \"invalid_union\",\n \"errors\": [],\n \"note\": \"No matching discriminator\",\n\"discriminator\": \"type\",\n \"path\": [\n \"type\"\n ],\n \"message\": \"Invalid input\"\n }\n ],\n[\n {\n \"code\": \"invalid_value\",\n \"values\": [\n \"openrouter:datetime\"\n ],\n \"path\": [\n\"type\"\n ],\n \"message\": \"Invalid input: expected \\\"openrouter:datetime\\\"\"\n }\n ],\n [\n {\n\"code\": \"invalid_value\",\n \"values\": [\n \"openrouter:image_generation\"\n ],\n \"path\": [\n\"type\"\n ],\n \"message\": \"Invalid input: expected \\\"openrouter:image_generation\\\"\"\n }\n ],\n [\n {\n\"code\": \"invalid_value\",\n \"values\": [\n \"openrouter:experimental__search_models\"\n ],\n \"path\": [\n\"type\"\n ],\n \"message\": \"Invalid input: expected \\\"openrouter:experimental__search_models\\\"\"\n }\n ],\n [\n{\n \"code\": \"invalid_value\",\n \"values\": [\n \"openrouter:web_search\"\n ],\n \"path\": [\n\"type\"\n ],\n \"message\": \"Invalid input: expected \\\"openrouter:web_search\\\"\"\n }\n ]\n ],\n \"path\": [\n\"tools\",\n 15\n ],\n \"message\": \"Invalid input\"\n }\n]"}}
When I downgrade back to 0.120.0 it works as expected.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Install 0.121.0, set up a ~/.codex/config.toml matching: https://openrouter.ai/docs/guides/coding-agents/codex-cli and then start with your openrouter API key.
What is the expected behavior?
It should respond to the message without hitting any errors.
