OpenAI is launching Codex CLI, a coding "agent" designed to run locally from terminal software.
Codex CLI links OpenAI’s models with local code and computing tasks, allowing the models to write and edit code on a desktop and perform certain actions.
OpenAI plans to give out $1 million in API grants to eligible software development projects using Codex CLI.
Although AI coding tools like Codex CLI bring benefits, they also come with risks, such as potential security vulnerabilities and bugs.
