OpenAI Codex is a powerful AI-driven coding agent designed to accelerate and transform software development workflows. Unlike general language models, Codex is fine-tuned specifically for programming tasks, enabling it to understand natural language instructions and convert them into executable code across multiple languages and environments. Built on the lineage of GPT-3 and subsequent codex-1/agentic models, Codex serves as an intelligent collaborator that excels at writing, refactoring, debugging, and reviewing code.
