Overview

  • Codex is now available as a research preview for ChatGPT Pro, Enterprise, and Team subscribers, with plans to extend access to Plus and educational users soon.
  • The tool operates in sandboxed environments integrated with GitHub, enabling tasks like bug fixes, feature development, and codebase analysis.
  • Codex leverages the codex-1 model, which iteratively tests its outputs to ensure code quality and transparency, addressing prior concerns about AI-generated code.
  • Developers can customize Codex using 'AGENTS.md' files to align the AI's behavior with project-specific coding standards and styles.
  • OpenAI plans to introduce rate limits and a credit-based pricing model as demand grows, while addressing current limitations like lack of image input support and live intervention capabilities.
