> With GPT-5.5 it tries to play smart, takes much more times and is often stuck on basic stuff that DeepSeek solves oneshot.

You have any session logs or similar that shows this thing? Never once, since I started using the codex TUI when it became available, has GPT models gotten stuck on something another model breeze through, I quite literally run every prompt I do through multiple providers, this would be very visible very quickly for me.

I remember trying every -codex variant of the models and could never get them to be productive for tasks taking longer than 5-10 minutes, compared to GPT 5.5 which quite literally worked through the night day (with the /goal feature), and actually had something valuable and useful in the end this morning that wasn't exploding in LOC and complexity. I don't think any of the -codex variants would have been able to do this at all, based on how they worked when I last used them.
