You would be surprised to know Apple started this in AppStore before Google on PlayStore. I assume it is because Google wanted to be safe from Antitrust lawsuits (Follow Apple rather than going there first).
Seems to be failing at API Calls right now with "You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error,"
First experience is not great. Here are the issues to start using codex:
1. Default model used doesn't work and you get error:
system
OpenAI rejected the request (request ID: req_06727eaf1c5d1e3f900760d10ca565a7). Please verify your settings and try again.
2. You have to switch to model o4-mini-2025-04-16 or some other model using /model. Now if you exit codex, you are back to default model and again have to switch everytime.
3. Crashed the first time with NodeJS error.
But after initial hickups seems to work and still checking how good/bad it is compared to claude code (which I love except for context size limits)
Pretty disappointed with content moderation on Veo2. Here are the steps I did:
1. Took a picture of me and asked to describe person in the image.
2. Used Imagegen to create the cartoon version using description.
3. Tried to use veo-2.0-generate-001 to generate video of person in image (holding a coffee cup in original image) drinking coffee and having a conversation.
Video generation is blocked by content moderation.
