00:00OpenAI Rolls Out GPT-5 Codex for Improved Coding

00:05OpenAI introduced GPT-5 Codex, an enhanced AI coding agent designed to think deeply

00:11even for up to 7 hours, like a rubber duck debugger that silently broods until it finds

00:15a solution.

00:17The upgrade lets GPT-5 Codex adjust its effort dynamically, spending seconds on a typo or

00:23hours tackling a complex refactor, rather than using a fixed brain power budget.

00:28OpenAI says this flexibility helps GPT-5 Codex excel at complex coding tasks and provide

00:35more useful code review comments with fewer, um, actually moments.

00:39Starting this week, it's available in Terminals, IDEs, GitHub, and ChatGPT for Plus, Pro, Business,

00:45Edu, and Enterprise users.

00:48API access is planned, but undated.

00:51The timing is strategic.

00:52AI coding assistants have grown from novelties to a booming market.

00:56Cursor hit $500 million in annual revenue earlier this year, while Windsurf triggered

01:01a high-stakes rivalry between Google and Cognition.

01:05With rivals like Claude Code and Microsoft's GitHub Copilot, Codex is now fighting for developer

01:10Mindshare.

01:11Alexander Embirikos, OpenAI's Codex lead, calls the model's flexibility its secret weapon.

01:17Unlike GPT-5's router system, GPT-5 Codex decides mid-task how long to keep working.

01:24This lets Codex pivot when a simple bug fix turns out to be a tangled mess.

01:29It might spend hours on your code, but cleaner pull requests and fewer review facepalms could

01:33make developers forgive its extra effort.
