A user on Reddit reported that their OpenAI Codex agents, specifically version 5.6, have become overly cautious and slow, focusing excessively on testing and validation to the detriment of actual code generation. This behavior, described as agents acting like "scolded children," has led to a significant decrease in productivity compared to other models like Gemini Flash. The user speculates this might be a problem with the model's orientation towards testing over output quality, causing a "death spiral of testing" and an aversion to progress. AI
