- OpenAI's Codex now encrypts instructions between AI agents, affecting developer visibility.
- Encryption is mandatory for larger GPT-5.6 variants Sol and Terra.
- Developers can no longer track internal delegation in Codex.
OpenAI's Codex, a coding tool, has started encrypting instructions passed between main and subagents since early June. This change leaves developers without insight into how tasks are delegated internally. For larger GPT-5.6 variants Sol and Terra, encryption is mandatory. This move may impact developer workflows and control over AI agent interactions.
The encryption change aims to enhance security and privacy within Codex. However, it also raises concerns about transparency and accountability in AI decision-making processes.
