Hi @rockyicer, you can go to the codex settings and set the model to gpt-5-codex:

to open the codex settings you can lick on "Open config.toml" just like below

and then model = "gpt-5-codex" should allow you to switch back to gpt-5-codex

Can we not just add these models back to the selector? I find 5.1 excessively bad in my testing. It makes the codex extension essentially useless to me.

Using the toml works, but I switch between gpt-5 and gpt-5-codex sometimes. Toggling this in the toml is a pain. Can we just add a toggle or something for displayed models if this is an issue? Much like how cursor does it?
