Both gpt-oss are great models for coding in a single turn, but I feel that they forget context too easily.

For example, when I tried gpt-oss 120b with codex, it very easily forgets something present in the system prompt: "use `rg` command to search and list files".

I feel like gpt-oss has a lot of potential for agentic coding, but it needs to be constantly reminded of what is happening. Maybe a custom harness developed specifically for gpt-oss could make both models viable for long agentic coding sessions.
