GPT-5.2 Codex is a language model developed by OpenAI. It's particularly well-suited for analyzing images, screenshots, and visual content, tackling complex, multi-step reasoning problems, orchestrating tool-using agents that call APIs and external services, producing structured outputs for reliable data extraction and handling large contexts of up to 256K tokens. Its 256K-token context window means you can pass in entire documents, codebases, or conversation histories without losing context. It can write up to 66K tokens in a single response.
As of Nov 4, 2026, GPT-5.2 Codex costs $0.656 per 1M input tokens and $5.25 per 1M output tokens on Qubax, versus $1.75 / $14.00 on OpenRouter (63% less on input). A typical 1,000 chat requests (2K tokens in, 500 out) come to about $3.94. Measured availability over the last 7 days: 2.4%. 22 independent compute providers currently serve it, so requests fail over automatically. Pay with USDC, USDT, BTC, ETH or 350+ other coins — no credit card required.
