OpenAI is making a bold play in the coding space with the launch of Codex, its new AI-powered software engineering agent. Unlike most dev tools that sit beside you as you work, Codex runs completely on its own in the cloud—writing code, fixing bugs, running tests, and reviewing codebases without needing constant input.

Powered by the new codex-1 model (a spin-off of OpenAI’s o3 architecture), the tool is now available to ChatGPT Pro, Team, and Enterprise users. It promises to handle multiple coding tasks simultaneously and return results in as little as 30 minutes.

This rollout comes as OpenAI reportedly eyes a $3 billion acquisition of AI coding startup Windsurf, signaling it’s getting serious about owning this space. While competitors like Anthropic’s Sonnet models have gained traction with developers, OpenAI says Codex is built to adapt to a company’s unique coding style—making it more than just a sidekick.

Bottom line: Codex isn’t here to assist—it’s here to replace parts of your workflow. If it scales well, it could quietly reshape how modern software gets built.

We've made some improvements to Codex CLI, based on your feedback:
