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.

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. openai.com/index/openai-fron…

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

Introducing GPT-5.5 A new class of intelligence for real work and powering agents, built to understand complex goals, use tools, check its work, and carry more tasks through to completion. It marks a new way of getting computer work done. Now available in ChatGPT and Codex.

I’m retweeting this because 1) I am most excited by making quality healthcare more accessible via AI 2) my siblings can use this product every day at their jobs, @MayaSeshan @amrita_ayer 🥲

Team is coooooooking! 🧑‍🍳

Linear 🤝 OpenAI caring about polish, craft, design

If you try the agents product in ChatGPT, you'll notice incredible levels of detail and polish. Includes but is not limited to: * agent mascots * amazing animations * thoughtful UX * ...and more @tylernotfound, @zach__johnston & team responsible for a whole lotta that.

Excited that Agents are live! These are like GPTs on steroids. Like mini OpenClaws. You give them skills, tools, and files so they can do a lot more work. You can add them to channels like Slack so you can communicate with them there. You can run them on schedules so you can automate work. And, big bonus: You can add memory so they can remember past actions, preferences, and other information as you work with them. OpenAI is cooking.

Xursor? Xsor? What will it be!?

Today, we’re launching a Rather Large™ update to the OpenAI Agents SDK. Agents SDK now allows you to scale Codex-style agents in production, without building the whole harness yourself. We’ve brought all of the stuff of modern agents: computer-use, skills, memory, compaction, and more to the same platforms you’re already using.

Absolutely adore this piece from Lena Dunham that gives you a real sense of the joy and chaos of trying to make great things with other people when you're all still figuring it out. newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

The AI labs have actually done a bad job explaining what the future they are building towards will actually look like for most of us. Even “Machines of Loving Grace” has very few well-articulated visions of what Anthropic hopes life will be like if they succeed at their goals.

i just want to build great things with my friends. at a really intense pace!
