codex-cli 0.63.0
What subscription do you have?
Bussiness
Which model were you using?
gpt-5.1-codex-mini”
What platform is your computer?

What issue are you seeing?
Summary:
The ChatGPT UI unexpectedly switched my model to gpt-5.1-codex-mini medium without my action. At the same time, several UI elements behaved incorrectly, including corrupted metadata markers appearing in the output.
- Unexpected Model Switch
I did not manually change the model.
The UI displayed this message at the top of the conversation:
“Model changed to gpt-5.1-codex-mini medium”
Immediately after, a popup appeared suggesting that I should switch to gpt-5.1-codex-mini, even though the UI already claimed I was switched.
This indicates an internal inconsistency:
The interface both claims the model was switched AND asks me to switch.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
-
Open a terminal and start Codex using the
codexCLI inside a project directory:peter@peter:~/Workspace/shop$ codex -
Observe the session header showing the currently selected model (e.g.,
gpt-5.1-codex-max medium). -
Begin a task by entering any normal request, for example:
help me check current project use tailwind v4 or v3
What is the expected behavior?
