OpenAI gives Codex reusable cloud environments that work across devices
OpenAI is expanding Codex with reusable cloud development environments, a revamped CLI with voice controls, new code review tools and a security-focused product for scanning repositories and preparing fixes.
Get smart on it
OpenAI announced updates to Codex, its software engineering agent, including reusable cloud development environments that developers can access from any device rather than treating each task as an isolated remote sandbox. These persistent environments are designed to help tasks start more quickly and provide teams with a shared workspace that has approved settings and permissions. The update also includes a refreshed command-line interface with voice control capabilities, a new code review experience within the ChatGPT desktop app, security tools for scanning and hardening infrastructure, and several API enhancements for real-time decision-making and computer use. These changes expand Codex's utility beyond a single developer's laptop by enabling collaborative work and remote access across multiple devices.
