According to 1M AI News monitoring, OpenAI Codex project leader Thibault Sottiaux posted on X stating, “We hereby declare that the Codex App will not disappear. We are significantly increasing our investment, and it will become very good soon.” He also revealed three days ago that the team is conducting an “end-to-end comprehensive rebuild of Codex to accommodate future model advancements.”
This statement comes amid OpenAI’s intensive product line adjustments over the past week. The Wall Street Journal reported last week that OpenAI plans to merge ChatGPT, Codex, and the browser into a desktop “super app,” led by the head of the application division, Fidji Simo. Subsequently, OpenAI announced the shutdown of the video generation app Sora, which had been online for only a few months. The trend of shrinking product lines has raised concerns about the future of other standalone applications.
