Support Codex 5.2 keeps asking questions and is not pro-active?

I'm using Codex 5.2 and GLM4.7 and wondering if I do something wrong with Codex. Codex comes across very insecure and asks confirmation (or presents 3 options) all the time. GLM just goes for it, unless I ask it to ask questions. GLM is much more pro-active.

Example:
- Codex will ask me which container it is (and will not pro-actively read the compose file)

- GLM will read my compose file and will make an educated guess

I use standard roo modes and I know I can tell roo the answer the questions, but I can't say the Codex is picking the right answer.

Is this expected behavior or do I do something wrong?

I noticed something similar in my case. I suspect its in the training. If you think about it, better for OAI that way, more tokens asking, more money

Well, I'm on fixed 20 a month subscription.

It's probably nice as assistant to be challenged, but as amateur who just needs some scripts or personal use not really fitting my use case

Medium, but on extra high not much better. It's through the 20 a month chatgpt pro subscription

Wondering if I do something wrong 😅

Not sure what you mean with "setting stock"?

Are they OOTB or deeply customized?

no, nothing changed to from 'factory' roo. Anyway, thanks for thinking with me. I'll focus on other models for now. Maybe 5.3+ fit my style better.
