OpenAI has unveiled Codex, an AI agent for software engineers designed to speed up software engineering processes.
Codex, available to subscribers of certain ChatGPT tiers, operates independently within ChatGPT’s interface, allowing for parallel tasking and end-to-end assistance in coding.
Key features of Codex include parallel tasking for multiple coding tasks, expertise in multiple programming languages, running tests, error correction, and suggesting refactoring.
OpenAI positions Codex above competitors like GitHub Copilot and emphasizes its error-correction and testing features, pricing will be based on usage beyond preview quotas.
