The current Codex client cannot render LaTeX formulas in conversation content. Instead, it displays the raw LaTeX text directly, such as \(x^2 + y^2 = z^2\) or .

E = mc^2
\]
This affects readability in scenarios involving mathematical derivations, papers, algorithm explanations, physics formulas, and other technical content.
