Tip: Parallelize Codex Web Searches in Code-Mode Flows
OpenAI Codex Changelog·low signal
Recent Codex releases let standalone web searches run in parallel and made hosted web/image tools available in more code-mode flows. For research-heavy agentic tasks, structuring a step so multiple independent searches fire concurrently (rather than serially) cuts wall-clock latency materially — the same fan-out logic that benefits subagent dispatch now applies to a single agent's tool calls.
