Codex
Superconductor is the best place to run Codex in the cloud.
Credentials
Superconductor supports two ways to authenticate Codex:
- ChatGPT plan: Connect your ChatGPT Pro or Plus account via OAuth in your Account, Project, or Workspace settings. Your connected plan is used when you launch an implementation directly.
- API Keys: Configure your OpenAI API key at the Project or Workspace level. Used when a connected ChatGPT plan isn't available for the launch.
See Agent credentials for details on precedence rules.
Models
Codex supports the following models:
- GPT-5.6 Sol - The most capable GPT-5.6 option for complex coding, reasoning, and polish.
- GPT-5.6 Terra - A balanced GPT-5.6 option for everyday coding work where you want strong capability with lower cost than Sol.
- GPT-5.6 Luna - The fastest and most cost-efficient GPT-5.6 option for simpler or high-volume work.
- GPT-5.5 - OpenAI's coding model used first in Superconductor's best available credential fallback. You can pick it explicitly on an implementation, or set it as your Default agent profile.
Codex models support configurable reasoning effort levels. Each level appears as a separate selectable profile.
| Model | Reasoning levels |
|---|---|
| GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna | Medium, High, Extra High, Max |
| GPT-5.5 | Medium, High, Extra High |
GPT-5.6 availability depends on your OpenAI plan or API access. OpenAI's Codex model guide describes Sol, Terra, and Luna and notes which plans can use them in Codex. See OpenAI's Codex model documentation for current availability.
What are reasoning effort levels? Reasoning effort controls how much computation the model uses when thinking through a problem. Medium offers a good balance of speed and quality for most tasks. High increases deliberation time for better results on harder problems. Extra High and Max push deliberation further still, producing the best results for complex tasks but with higher cost and latency.

Usage stats
If you've connected a ChatGPT Pro or Plus plan, Superconductor shows your rate limit utilization. See Usage stats for details.
