New tools to make Codex faster, cheaper

A major reason why Codex usage limits get eaten up so fast is because the harness' built-in tools are context and token inefficient. There's an ecosystem emerging that wants to fix that. Web Search → Exa exa.ai/blog/dynamic-highlights Repo exploration → Entire entire.io/blog/introducing-agentic-search-for-code-and-context Sandbox → Fly Sprites fly.io/sprites/ecosystem Browser → Smooth docs.smooth.sh/cli/overview How "emerging" is this stack? Entire code search, and Exa's dynamic highlights launched less than a month ago. Both promise radical savings in a search tasks that typically light our Codex usage on fire. There's are lots of alternatives to these devtools. If you have some you like, tell me.
