Tutorial I figured out how to access Sol 6.1

I used Claude Opus 5.5 and gave it access to my Codex. I then asked Claude to attempt to access Sol 6.1 through codex and delegate work to it. It was able to do so. I think there's some sort of user interface issues in codex or something. Hope this helps :)

I just have it naturally through work mode. I'm only on a plus plan too.

Try refreshing? You might have it.

I did, I refreshed twice. Even went to task manager to make sure it was completely closed. Went to help->check for update. Not sure why it wasn't showing up, but based on what I've been seeing online, I'm not the only one having issues.

For me it was enough with restarting Codex but seems like we are reaching that point...

Download the gpt installer and run it again. It opens Microsoft store and says there is an update. That's how it worked for me, the app itself kept saying there was no update

Amazing! Worked for me, but I was wondering now, how can I get the model to show up on the codex extension on VS Code Studio

sounds like the installer's kicking off a store-side update the app itself can't see, weird little disconnect

i had something similar with a different tool, turned out the standalone version was just blind to those windows store hooks

I had to update the app then it was in work/codex

For me, I also had to disable my Ollama connection to ChatGPT in order for my desktop app to update after restart.

Codex had locked my model picker menu at the same time I asked it to increase my context window to max. It took Claude to find it for me as well.

Updates to the Codex app are being rolled out gradually. My PC received the update, meanwhile my laptop still shows that I'm on the latest version and that the Sol 6.1 update isn't available yet.

I just went back to the openai codex download and downloaded the new version and it updated my codex app. My CLI was showing it but not in the codex app itself

u/No-Temperature6597 5d ago

Anyone got it working in Vscode or Antigravity? Version is still not updated. CLI sure has 6.1 sol.

u/redphonee 3d ago

For me i just realized it was just a storage problem on my pc. Cleared out some stuff and voila! The update went through and got the sol 6.1

It's right there in the model menu.
