--ar

• Parameters

A flag followed by width:height (e.g., --ar 16:9) that sets the canvas aspect ratio of the generated images.

--chaos

• Parameters

Parameter (--chaos 80 or -c 80) that adds randomness, making outputs more varied and unexpected.

--image

• Flags

Attaches one or more image files to your prompt so Codex can see screenshots, diagrams, or other visuals when answering.

--input

• Flags

A command-line flag passed to a Python script (via argparse) that tells the script which file to read; you type it after the script name, e.g. python filter.py --input data.csv.

--json

• Flags

Makes Codex print its output as newline-delimited JSON events instead of formatted text — useful when another program needs to read the results.

--model

• Flags

An Aider command-line flag that specifies which AI model to use for the main chat session, for example --model claude-3-opus-20240229 to select a specific Claude model.

--model · Flags

The launch flag that sets which LLM Aider uses for the session (e.g. 'aider --model sonnet' or '--model o4-mini'), so you can match model to task.

--no

• Parameters

A parameter you add to a prompt (e.g., --no faces) telling Midjourney to omit that element from the image.

--output-schema

• Flags

Points Codex to a JSON Schema file; Codex validates its final response against that schema before finishing, ensuring the output has the exact shape your code expects.

--seed

• Parameters

A numeric argument (--seed 12345) that forces the AI to start from the same random seed, producing similar results each time.

--stylize

• Parameters

Parameter (--stylize 500 or -s 500) that controls how strongly Midjourney applies its artistic style; lower values stay closer to the prompt.

-d flag

• Commands

An option added to docker run that starts the container in the background instead of tying up the terminal.

-i

• Flags

Short for --image; attaches one or more image files to your prompt so Codex can see screenshots, diagrams, or other visuals when answering.

-m

• Flags

Short for --model; lets you choose which AI model Codex uses for a session (e.g., codex -m gpt-5.5).

-o <path>

• Flags

Short for --output-last-message; writes the assistant's final reply to a file at the given path, making it easy to pipe results into other scripts.

-p

• Flags

Short form of --print; tells Claude Code to respond to a single query and exit without opening an interactive session.

:free

• Flags & Variants

A suffix you append to a model ID (e.g. meta-llama/llama-3.2-3b-instruct:free) to select the no-cost variant of that model; free variants have low daily rate limits and are intended for experimentation.
