Astra-Ares
Astra-Ares is an experimental CLI tool that adapts reasoning effort for selected GPT-6 models during Codex tasks, using Jev to choose effort and how many generations it lasts. It is distributed as source and runs a separate, patched version of Codex CLI.
What it does
Use it to have Jev choose reasoning effort and how long to apply it during Codex tasks.
- Availability
- Preview distributed as source; no published npm package or prebuilt download
- Pricing model
- OpenRouter key with funded credits required for Jev; selected model uses existing Codex login
- Deployment
- Runs through a separately patched Codex CLI
- Privacy
- Bounded task context is sent to the selected Jev provider; Codex talks directly to OpenAI
- Licence
- Bridge is MIT-licensed; patched Codex source is Apache-2.0
