**[Codex Remote Control Now Supports Direct Management of Linux Servers]** Beating AI News: OpenAI's Codex now allows users to directly control Linux server Agents via mobile devices. On the server, run `codex remote-control start`, then use `codex remote-control pair` to generate a temporary pairing code. Open the Remote page in the ChatGPT app on your phone, enter the pairing code, and you can connect to the machine. Codex continues to run locally on the server, while the phone is used to monitor tasks, issue new commands, and handle approvals. This is particularly useful for GPU clusters and Linux servers without graphical interfaces. Researcher Tanishq Mathew Abraham has already used it to manage automated research experiments and training tasks on a Slurm GPU cluster via his phone. Community members have also successfully run it in environments like Ubuntu and Arch Linux. However, this feature is currently marked as *Experimental* by OpenAI. The official documentation is still catching up: while the *Developer Commands* section lists the CLI pairing method, the *Remote Connections* main documentation still states that mobile pairing must be initiated from the Mac or Windows desktop app. There are also reports on GitHub about issues like Linux and Android pairing failures or devices not being displayed.
