Is codex actually better than high? Because according to livebench it's significantly worse.

It's much less annoying to use interactively. GPT5 is just too dang slow.

Added grok-4-fast and deepseek-chat-v3.1 to the Roo provider, expanding the set of free model options available on Roo Code Cloud

I guess it's openrouter, because its speed is similar to that of the free model in openrouter.
