codex-cli 0.136.0

What feature would you like to see?

Some people and me finds GPT 5.5 became stupid, so since then I've been using GPT 5.2, which I really like. Today, however, I discovered that GPT 5.2 is no longer available. I've heard that GPT 5.4 might work as well, but given this trend, it's likely that 5.4 will also be unavailable in the future, I really dont want to use stupid model😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Now Codex is unusable for me. GPT-5.5 is a waste of the tokens. In most cases when I've tried to use it, I had to start from scratch with GPT-5.3-Codex.

Thanks for the feedback, but we don't have plans to keep old models.
