Codex can perform tasks such as writing features, answering questions about the codebase, fixing bugs, and proposing pull requests for review. Each task runs in its own cloud sandbox environment, preloaded with the user&#8217;s repository. Codex is powered by codex-1, a version of OpenAI&#8217;s o3 optimized for software engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coding is one of the fastest-growing use cases in AI. There are coding IDEs like Cursor and <a href=\"https:\/\/officechai.com\/ai\/devins-parent-company-acquires-windsurf-after-google-hired-its-co-founders-and-licensed-its-tech\/\">Windsurf<\/a>, that help programmers write their code. Then there are tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/officechai.com\/ai\/vibe-coding-startup-lovable-becomes-unicorn-just-8-months-after-being-founded\/\">Loveable<\/a>, which help non-coders create functional apps. Then there are tools like Claude Code, Codex and Google Jules, which have complex code understanding and terminal and command-line task execution, and show higher accuracy on some software engineering benchmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Claude Code has been Anthropic&#8217;s latest hit. Launched in February this year, it already has an annual run-rate of $500 million. Even within the company, the model has seen plenty of adoption, and 80% of Claude Code&#8217;s code is now written by Claude Code itself. OpenAI now seems to have created a competitor in Codex which is generating a lot of buzz. And if these trends continue, OpenAI might have another hit on its hands after the <a

ChatGPT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenAI had been looking to get a foot int the door in the AI coding space by acquiring a company like Cursor
