'Loops' are the hackiest thing ever invented I don't think they're good for anything.
I think a researched plan is much better, the agent will follow the plan.
You can allow for an 'iterative' strategy for solving a problem, with guardrails so that it doesn't try to many times.
Yes - you can use Codex as the 'manager AI' but I don't see much benefit - it has a much shorter context window. Codex is better 'at the front' where it matters.
That said - it's 'auto-compaction' is quite good.
I don't believe the hype over OP5 lagging that much, it's fine as a working AI.
Other than for truly automated tasks, I don't think there's much that an AI can 'work a few days on'.
That form of 'loop for days until it works' produces nightmare code and architecture.
Fun for experiments and learning but not for code u want to keep.
