Rolling out across iOS and Android, the mobile experience surfaces live project context, approvals, terminal output, diffs, and test results — keeping longer-running tasks moving when you step away from the host Mac. For enterprise teams, [remote access and access tokens for automation](/release/rel_qQxEoqbma-TW7Glq84C6r-codex-remote-access-and-access-tokens-for-automation) arrived alongside the mobile launch, with remote control disabled by default for security-conscious workspaces. Beneath the mobile headline, Codex got serious infrastructure upgrades. [Codex CLI 0.131.0](/release/rel_neDfqy_tN8NjcFg2uOmn8-codex-cli-0-131-0-adds-richer-tui-controls-remote-daemon-workflows-and-python) introduced richer TUI controls — data-driven service-tier commands, responsive Markdown tables, and blended token usage — plus daemon-managed remote workflows and a Python SDK move to `openai-codex` with pinned types. A new [Amazon Bedrock setup guide](/release/rel_lLcnKehNhKW8QNlhGvtLL-codex-adds-amazon-bedrock-setup-guidance-for-aws-managed-deployment) covers deploying Codex with OpenAI models through AWS-managed infrastructure, and [fresh mobile documentation](/release/rel_HrppzJ9-TER4fqgK99msb-codex-adds-mobile-documentation-for-chatgpt-app-setup-and-troubleshooting) walks through setup steps, security requirements, and connection troubleshooting. ### Claude Code gets session management and a smarter agent mode Anthropic responded with its own session-management breakthrough: [agent view in Claude Code](/release/rel_rf9yH3uuWbGNLIamJsoq3-introducing-agent-view-in-claude-code) provides a single dashboard of every Claude Code session — running, blocked on you, or done — accessible via the `claude agents` command. The companion [v2.1.139 release](/release/rel_nJ36fL0hZgEhwRqUtBU50-claude-code-v2-1-139-adds-agent-view-and-goal-completion-mode) adds a `/goal` command that makes Claude keep working across turns until a completion condition is met, with live elapsed time, turn count, and token usage displayed in an overlay panel. Both features are available as a research preview on Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise, and API plans. Subsequent Claude Code releases this week hardened the agent experience. [v2.1.140](/release/rel_CS0EU1boaRWGPYRSCfiNp-claude-code-v2-1-140-fixes-goal-hanging-and-background-service-startup-issues) fixed `/goal` silently hanging when hooks were disabled, and resolved background service startup failures on machines with enterprise endpoint security. [v2.1.141](/release/rel_MzbAaWLcgqFaUq0NdcU6h-claude-code-v2-1-141-fixes-permission-prompt-dismissal-and-background-agent) fixed permission prompt dismissal when switching modes mid-prompt and ensured background jobs move to Completed instead of lingering under Working. [v2.1.142](/release/rel_d153xRBgrvn1wOzlzgo-A-claude-code-v2-1-142-upgrades-fast-mode-to-opus-4-7-and-fixes-mcp-tool-timeout) upgraded fast mode to Opus 4.7 by default (with an environment variable override to pin to 4.6) and fixed MCP tool timeouts not respecting configured values. Finally, [v2.1.143](/release/rel_bEs_c7MuPoHThPNxqKol--claude-code-v2-1-143-enforces-plugin-dependencies-and-hardens-background-session) added plugin dependency enforcement and hardened background session state after sleep/wake cycles. ### Fast mode expands and platform tools mature Across both platforms, performance investments accelerated. Beyond Claude Code's fast mode upgrade, [Claude Platform fast mode now supports Opus 4.7](/release/rel_sFsSsjlvrw5UFebp2BYyD-claude-platform-fast-mode-now-supports-claude-opus-4-7) via `speed: "fast"` with the `fast-mode-2026-02-01` beta header, delivering significantly faster output token generation at premium pricing. Anthropic also launched [cache diagnostics in public beta](/release/rel_JbXN0WCBjudzxTJuO4aJH-cache-diagnostics-launched-in-public-beta) — pass `diagnostics.previous_message_id` on a Messages request and the API reports a `cache_miss_reason` explaining where the prompt cache prefix diverged from the previous turn. On the pricing and access layer, OpenAI SDKs — [Node](/release/rel_fvWqLRkaceGzxmS2rlapo-openai-node-sdk-v6-38-0-adds-service-tier-parameter-to-responses-compact-method), [Python](/release/rel_zOPupbCrtkwcM4hEQ9p22-openai-python-sdk-v2-37-0-adds-service-tier-parameter-to-responses), and [Go](/release/rel_7ccs_60WB6zaxOkJhNtQt-openai-go-sdk-v3-36-0-avoids-panic-when-http-defaulttransport-is-wrapped) — all added a `service_tier` parameter to the responses compact method. OpenAI also made the ChatGPT Apps Directory generally available by removing its beta label for enterprise and education workspaces, while rolling out a file library with storage management to Free and Go users. The week closed with the launch of [personal finances in ChatGPT](/release/rel_1hqackAFOnGNhfCE9Vt5a-personal-finances-in-chatgpt) for Pro users in the U.S., connecting financial accounts through Plaid for AI-powered spending and investment insights. ## Releases covered ### Anthropic - [Introducing agent view in Claude Code](https://releases.sh/release/rel_rf9yH3uuWbGNLIamJsoq3-introducing-agent-view-in-claude-code) - [Claude Code v2.1.139 adds agent view and goal-completion mode](https://releases.sh/release/rel_nJ36fL0hZgEhwRqUtBU50-agent-view-lists-all-sessions-goal-keeps-claude-working-until-done) - [Claude Code v2.1.140 fixes /goal hanging and background service startup issues](https://releases.sh/release/rel_CS0EU1boaRWGPYRSCfiNp-goal-no-longer-hangs-with-disabled-hooks-background-startup-hardened) - [Claude Code v2.1.141 fixes permission prompt dismissal and background agent state management](https://releases.sh/release/rel_MzbAaWLcgqFaUq0NdcU6h-permission-prompts-auto-dismiss-on-mode-switch-background-agents-move-to) - [Claude Code v2.1.142 upgrades fast mode to Opus 4.7 and fixes MCP tool timeout](https://releases.sh/release/rel_d153xRBgrvn1wOzlzgo-A-fast-mode-upgraded-to-opus-4-7-mcp-tool-timeout-fixed) - [Claude Code v2.1.143 enforces plugin dependencies and hardens background session state](https://releases.sh/release/rel_bEs_c7MuPoHThPNxqKol--plugin-dependency-enforcement-background-sessions-preserve-model-settings) - [Claude Platform fast mode now supports Claude Opus 4.7](https://releases.sh/release/rel_sFsSsjlvrw5UFebp2BYyD-fast-mode-expands-to-opus-4-7) - [Cache diagnostics launched in public beta](https://releases.sh/release/rel_JbXN0WCBjudzxTJuO4aJH-cache-diagnostics-launched-in-public-beta) ### OpenAI - [OpenAI launches Codex support in ChatGPT mobile app](https://releases.sh/release/rel_khLqpHBvhZlHe-dL1J1Md-codex-now-accessible-from-chatgpt-mobile-app) - [Codex remote access and access tokens for automation](https://releases.sh/release/rel_qQxEoqbma-TW7Glq84C6r-codex-remote-access-and-access-tokens-for-automation) - [Codex CLI 0.131.0 adds richer TUI controls, remote daemon workflows, and Python SDK move](https://releases.sh/release/rel_neDfqy_tN8NjcFg2uOmn8-tui-gains-session-controls-remote-workflows-support-daemon-management-python-sdk) - [Codex adds Amazon Bedrock setup guidance for AWS-managed deployment](https://releases.sh/release/rel_lLcnKehNhKW8QNlhGvtLL-amazon-bedrock-setup-guide-published) - [Codex adds mobile documentation for ChatGPT app setup and troubleshooting](https://releases.sh/release/rel_HrppzJ9-TER4fqgK99msb-mobile-documentation-for-chatgpt-app-integration) - [OpenAI Node SDK v6.38.0 adds service_tier parameter to responses compact method](https://releases.sh/release/rel_fvWqLRkaceGzxmS2rlapo-responses-compact-method-gets-service-tier-parameter) - [OpenAI Python SDK v2.37.0 adds service_tier parameter to responses](https://releases.sh/release/rel_zOPupbCrtkwcM4hEQ9p22-responses-compact-method-gets-service-tier-parameter) - [OpenAI Go SDK v3.36.0 avoids panic when http.DefaultTransport is wrapped](https://releases.sh/release/rel_7ccs_60WB6zaxOkJhNtQt-panic-avoided-when-http-defaulttransport-is-wrapped) - [Personal finances in ChatGPT](https://releases.sh/release/rel_1hqackAFOnGNhfCE9Vt5a-personal-finances-in-chatgpt)
