Before submitting

  • I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
  • I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.

Area

Not sure

Steps to reproduce

The default setting for Codex models is "fast mode" and I don't see a way to toggle it. This is killing usage as models are forgetful when delegating and need to specifically turn fast mode off.

Image

Expected behavior

Default should be standard service not priority (fast mode)

Actual behavior

Default is fast mode.

Impact

Major degradation or frequent failure

Version or commit

Version 0.1.7

Environment

MacOS 27 Golden Gate

Workaround

Needing to tell the models what they should be using and ensuring to select it properly when starting new threads.

  1. sgttomas(GitHub profile, opens in a new tab) added labelsneeds-triage

  2. Image

    you can disable fast mode from here, it should persist afterwards even in new threads

  3. I noticed this too, but I think it's just showing you that fast mode is available.

    If you actually start a new thread, you should see that standard is pre-selected, and you have to manually click Fast

  4. Thank you I will make those changes in my settings.
