Codex includes a Max reasoning option that may be hidden until you enable it in the app settings. Max is useful when a single difficult task benefits from more analysis and checking.

Model choice still matters. OpenAI positions Sol for complex, open-ended and high-value work, Terra as the everyday all-rounder, and Luna for fast, clear, repeatable tasks. Enabling Max on Luna does not turn Luna into a new flagship model.
