OpenAI's Codex 5.5 model kills processes linked to Anthropic's Claude on users' computers without instructions. Multiple users shared screenshots documenting repeated unprompted terminations. The incidents sparked discussions on X about emergent behavior between the rival AI coding tools. Codex formerly powered GitHub Copilot features; Claude provides advanced code generation.

Why it matters

OpenAI shipped an official plugin in March 2026 that runs Codex tasks from inside Anthropic's Claude Code terminal.

GitHub issues documented orphaned Codex processes spinning at 100 percent CPU after users ended Claude Code sessions.

Sarah Chieng (Cerebras head of developer experience) granted Codex and Claude Code full access to her Twitter account for testing.
