- OpenAI announced at DevDay on Tuesday that Codex now supports reusable cloud development environments accessible from any device, replacing the prior model of isolated remote sandboxes with persistent, configurable shared workspaces with approved settings and permissions
- The Codex CLI is gaining voice control for starting and directing tasks, plus a redesigned terminal interface built to make longer sessions easier to read
- A new /agents view in Codex lets developers delegate and track multiple concurrent tasks, while a new code review experience inside the ChatGPT desktop app supports automatic initial reviews that run while users are away from their computers
- Codex Security Cloud lets developers scan GitHub repositories on demand, on a schedule, or whenever new commits arrive, with bundled access to models from OpenAI's Daybreak Blue cybersecurity initiative — no separate application required
- The updated Agents API now supports computer use and integration with Amazon's Bedrock Managed Agents to build OpenAI agents that run entirely on AWS
- A new Decisions API uses a model called Luna to answer user-defined questions with predefined answers for real-time decision-making
Why it matters: By replacing isolated cloud sandboxes with persistent, configurable workspaces, OpenAI gives developers the ability to start a Codex task on a laptop and resume it from a phone — while bundling Daybreak Blue cybersecurity models into Codex Security Cloud and opening the Agents API to Amazon Bedrock on AWS extends the tool from a coding assistant into a platform that reaches into team workflows and enterprise infrastructure.
