Codex CLI vs Cloud-Hosted Codex for Engineering Team Workflows
CLI handles interactive work while cloud runs tasks asynchronously, each with tradeoffs.

CLI handles interactive work while cloud runs tasks asynchronously, each with tradeoffs.
Infrastructure flexibility lets teams swap agents without rebuilding their platform.
Choosing the right harness for each task type improves agent reliability and cost efficiency.
Configuration files and memory accumulate faster than teams can switch harnesses.
Opencode swaps models freely; Claude Code locks them in tight.
Most production teams run both tools, routing work by task type rather than picking one.
Architecture matters more than model scores for autonomous pull requests.
