OpenAI has made Codex available online for ChatGPT Pro users, enabling automated coding, directory navigation, and command execution within a virtual computer. This launch precedes Google's anticipated coding tool release. OpenAI is reportedly acquiring Windsurf for $3 billion. Codex aims to improve software transparency and safety while facilitating code writing for companies like Cisco and Temporal. The tool reflects a vision of ChatGPT evolving into a collaborative virtual coworker, rather than a mere chatbot.
