5Codex offers the ability to increase the speed of the model for increased
6credit consumption.

8Fast mode is currently supported on GPT-5.4. When enabled, speed is increased
9by 1.5x and credits are consumed at a 2x rate.

11Use `/fast on`, `/fast off`, or `/fast status` in the CLI to change or inspect
12the current setting. You can also persist the default with `service_tier = "fast"` plus `[features].fast_mode = true` in `config.toml`. Fast mode is
13available in the Codex IDE extension, Codex CLI, and the Codex app when you
14sign in with ChatGPT. With an API key, Codex uses standard API pricing instead
15and you can't use Fast mode credits.

21## Codex-Spark
22
23GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark is a separate fast, less-capable Codex model optimized for near-instant, real-time coding iteration. Unlike fast mode, which speeds up GPT-5.4 at a higher credit rate,
24Codex-Spark is its own model choice and has its own usage limits.
