# PR #1587: support deltas in core
- URL: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/1587
- Author: aibrahim-oai
- Created: 2025-07-16 04:25:37 UTC
- Updated: 2025-07-16 22:11:27 UTC
- Changes: +89/-16, Files changed: 10, Commits: 10
## Description
- Added support for message and reasoning deltas
- Skipped adding the support in the cli and tui for later
- Commented a failing test (wrong merge) that needs fix in a separate PR.
Side note: I think we need to disable merge when the CI don't pass.
