Why Do Hundreds of Skills Slow Down GPT‑5.6 Codex?

After upgrading to GPT‑5.6, many Codex users find that the large number of accumulated Skills no longer speeds up work but actually lengthens execution time, increases token consumption, and adds extra tool calls because the model now reads and enforces Skill rules more rigorously, turning Skills from execution helpers into contextual overhead.

Why the “Large Model Post‑Processing Engineer” Is the Most Ironic New Role in AI

The article argues that while large‑model AI can quickly deliver an 80‑point prototype, the remaining 20 points needed for a reliable, secure, and performant product require human engineers—coined as “post‑processing engineers”—to handle boundary cases, errors, security, and performance, making this role essential in the AI era.

OpenAI Launches Next‑Gen Coding Assistant Codex: Key Technical Highlights and Will It Disrupt Programmers?

OpenAI’s new cloud‑based Codex AI assistant builds on the same Transformer architecture as GitHub Copilot, offering multi‑language support and faster responses, but real‑world testing shows only about 80% of its output is usable, with the remaining 20% containing bugs or mismatches—especially in embedded development—leading the author to argue that Codex is a helpful code‑completion tool rather than a revolutionary replacement for skilled engineers.
