Is there a way to use the GPT-5.2 Pro model directly in Codex CLI?

Codex Codex CLI

I have a ChatGPT Pro subscription, and for my type of coding, the GPT-5.2 Pro model on the web interface works very well. I have also tried Codex CLI for the same problems, but the quality of its output is not as good as GPT-5.2 Pro.

I do not know if there is a way to access ChatGPT 5.2 Pro specifically in the Codex CLI. The CLI offers gpt-5.2 and gpt-5.2-codex with reasoning levels ranging from Low to Extra High, but I have found that even the Extra High setting on these models is inferior to the ChatGPT 5.2 Pro model available on the web for the problems I am working on.

Hi and welcome to the community!

Sorry for the late response!

For this particular case my recommendation is to split the task into two steps. First, use /plan to create the plan and then execute it in the second step. You will be asked to clarify open questions and confirm execution before this second step starts.

Since GPT-5.3-Codex has just been released I highly recommend using this model.
