a few months ago in an interview, someone asked me where we wanted to take the codex app. i answered with something along the lines of: we intend to make it the best app ever built for desktop, full stop.

it probably felt like a little much, but i meant it. and it feels less potentially hyperbolic now than it did then.

Codex is the best way to build software. it is now the best way to do many other things too. we will lean into both, and much of it will mean we blend a lot with ChatGPT. we will do this only when we can deliver something incredible and better than what the two separate current things can deliver alone.

we will also combine the best parts of cloud and local environments (and yes, windows+linux). and the best of instant responses and long-running objectives, like /goal. we will do so with Taste™

outside of the incredible gpt models, 3 things have made the Codex app what it is:
- an opinionated view of how agents should work with a high quality bar
- a tight and honest dogfooding loop
- you

those 3 things will continue to be P0.
LFG.

Codex now has more than 5M weekly active users.

But the bigger story is what people are using it for: not just writing code, but getting more work done across research, analysis, content, and operations.

@_simonsmith More on Workspace Agents coming soon :)

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

OpenAI frontier models and Codex are now generally available on AWS, giving enterprises a new way to build on Amazon Bedrock with OpenAI through the security, compliance, and governance workflows they already use.

This is also the beginning of a broader expansion of OpenAI capabilities on AWS, including future availability for cybersecurity capabilities like Daybreak.

@zebriez @paulg I think there is a fundamental difference between them! The goal of the FDE is to make the specific customer deployment successful. The goal of a “Collison install” is to make the product successful. That difference really changes everything.

Gonna be hard to compete with someone having more fun than you. 😈

[Tara Seshan @tarstarr]

@clairevo yea, I think the agent having the ability to decide if it needs a computer for your task (versus simply responding where it can!) feels way better.

@aka_lacie @ZeffMax 👋 (i work at openai) would love to hear about and fix your issues! dm me?
