OpenAI’s (OPENAI) newly released Codex app for the Mac is off to a strong start, CEO Sam Altman said on Tuesday.
“More than 200k people downloaded the Codex app in the first day,” Altman said in a post on X. “And they seem to love it. CODEX [for the win]!”
OpenAI (OPENAI) on Monday unveiled a stand-alone Codex app for Apple’s (AAPL) macOS, amid increased usage for its popular artificial intelligence coding assistant. The Codex app has a refreshed interface that allows developers “to effortlessly manage multiple agents at once, run work in parallel, and collaborate with agents over long-running tasks,” the company said on its website.
It will let users with ChatGPT Free and Go accounts have access to Codex for a “limited” time, while users with Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans will get double the rate limit. “The Codex app changes how software gets built and who can build it—from pairing with a single coding agent on targeted edits to supervising coordinated teams of agents across the full lifecycle of designing, building, shipping, and maintaining software,” OpenAI added.
Separately on Monday, OpenAI said developers had substantially increased their usage of Codex just in the past month, as more than 1M developers have used the tool.
