What variant of Codex are you using?
CLI
What feature would you like to see?
Add the ability to switch models through /model while a prompt is running such that the next prompt uses a different model especially while queuing prompts one after each other
it would be very useful to be able to switch to a different reasoning effort. For example, if the next prompt should use higher effort.

Switching models within a session is not recommended in general.
We don't have plans to support switching models in the middle of a turn.
