OpenAI Introduces Codex, Its First Full-Fledged AI Agent for Coding
- OpenAI announced the research preview of Codex, its most capable AI coding agent, on a recent Friday in 2025, available via ChatGPT Pro subscriptions.
- Codex was developed from codex-1, a fine-tuned, software engineering-optimized version of OpenAI's o3 reasoning model designed for iterative testing and cleaner code.
- Users interact with Codex through ChatGPT's sidebar, submitting prompts that the AI executes in sandboxed containers preloaded with their GitHub codebases and custom instructions if provided.
- OpenAI states Codex completes tasks in one to 30 minutes, provides real-time progress, and grants 'generous access' during rollout with optional additional credits for extended use.
- The release marks OpenAI’s effort to enhance developer productivity by automating routine programming tasks, potentially increasing efficiency without replacing engineers outright.

Codex, OpenAI's New Coding Agent, Wants to Be a World-Killer
Though artificial intelligence is taking the world by storm, it's still pretty bad at tasks demanding a high-degree of flexibility, like writing computer code. Earlier this year, ChatGPT maker OpenAI published a white paper taking AI to task for its lackluster performance in a coding scrum. Among other things, it found that even the most advanced AI models are "still unable to solve the majority" of coding tasks. Later in an interview, OpenAI CE…
OpenMDW Is a New Permissive License for AI Models
The Linux Foundation quietly released a new license for AI models and their artifacts earlier this month. The new OpenMDW license is a highly permissive license, that combines some aspects of the Apache 2.0 and MIT licenses that are currently a popular choice for licensing AI models. It’s also very short and easily fits on a single page. OpenMDW was born out of another Linux Foundation effort, the Model Openness Framework (MOF), which tries to …
