OpenAI's Codex: This Model Is So Fast It Changes How You Code

OpenAI’s hottest app isn’t ChatGPT—it’s Codex.

In the last few weeks alone, the Codex team shipped a desktop app, GPT-5.3 Codex (a new flagship model), and Spark, the fastest coding model I’ve ever used. Usage has grown fivefold since January, and over a million people now use Codex weekly. Codex was also the app that OpenAI chose to run an ad for in the Super Bowl.

Dan Shipper talked to Thibault Sottiaux, head of Codex, and Andrew Ambrosino, a member of technical staff who built the Codex app, for Every’s AI & I about what OpenAI is building and how they’re using it internally.
