Gate News message, April 23 — The OpenAI Codex team is focused on optimizing the OpenAI model experience in OpenClaw, with Codex engineering lead Tibo Sottiaux collaborating with OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger. Codex product lead Nik Pash discovered a critical authentication flaw: when OpenClaw was configured to use Codex harness with OpenAI models, the authentication process failed and the system silently fell back to Pi harness, causing users to believe Codex harness was functioning normally when it was not.
Pash submitted two pull requests to address the issue: one to fix the authentication bridge and another to prevent silent fallback. The improvements stem entirely from switching the underlying runtime adapter (harness) that governs how OpenClaw communicates with the model API, while the agent’s prompt and higher-level workflow logic remained unchanged.
Agent behavior showed marked differences before and after the fix. With Pi harness, the agent performed shallow polling on each heartbeat: reading heartbeat files, checking Discord, returning HEARTBEAT_OK, and ignoring other instructions. It sometimes inferred operations to execute but failed to issue tool calls. After switching to Codex harness, the agent entered a full work loop: reading workspace context, parsing task lists, checking repositories, executing edits, and attempting verification. Subsequent heartbeats could resume progress rather than repeat work.

Perplexity Discloses Web Search Agent Post-Training Method; Qwen3.5-Based Model Outperforms GPT-5.4 on Accuracy and Cost
Perplexity uses SFT followed by RL with Qwen3.5 models, leveraging a multi-hop QA dataset and rubric checks to boost search accuracy and efficiency, achieving best-in-class FRAMES performance.
Abstract: Perplexity's post-training workflow for web-search agents combines supervised fine-tuning (SFT) to enforce instruction-following and language consistency with online reinforcement learning (RL) via the GRPO algorithm. The RL stage uses a proprietary multi-hop verifiable QA dataset and rubric-based conversational data to prevent SFT drift, with reward gating and within-group efficiency penalties. Evaluation shows Qwen3.5-397B-SFT-RL achieving top FRAMES performance, 57.3% accuracy with a single tool call and 73.9% with four calls at $0.02 per query, outperforming GPT-5.4 and Claude Sonnet 4.6 on these metrics. Pricing is API-based and excludes caching.
