OpenAI announced it will begin applying invisible watermarks to text generated by ChatGPT and Codex in the European Union over the coming weeks.
DAIR.AI describes RankEvolve, from a Meta paper, as a protocol that runs Claude Code and Codex as separate nodes to review and repair each other’s changes. At a matched budget, execution accuracy rises from 45.8% to 62.5%, and twelve iterations improve HSTU’s NDCG@10 on MovieLens-20M by 4.48%.
Philip Kiely says enterprise teams can now use open models such as GLM-5.3 Flash and Kimi K3 natively in Codex, with spend counted against their OpenAI commit.
Lena Hall says she received a ModRetro Chromatic at OpenAI DevDay and is sharing a first look, describing the handheld as a new OpenAI device under “Codex X Gaming.”
am.will says the ModRetro console comes with a blank cartridge, and that a game is built with Codex and then loaded onto the device.
ModRetro says it is collaborating with OpenAI on game creation for the Chromatic, pairing ModRetro’s handheld hardware with Codex, OpenAI’s coding agent.
OpenAI Developers says Codex cloud environments are rolling out to Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise. Business and Enterprise workspaces can share environments so a team works from the same setup.
OpenAI Developers says a Codex task can be started in the cloud, then followed and steered from a phone or another computer even with the laptop off. The familiar desktop app experience is also coming to web and mobile.
OpenAI Developers says Codex cloud environments let agents keep working after a laptop is closed. Reusable environments come with the repository, dependencies, scripts, and settings already in place.
OpenAI Developers says Ultrafast for Astra is available in Codex and ChatGPT Work on Enterprise plans and through the new Pro 500 plan. It is also available to all developers through the API, while Ultrafast for GPT-6.1 Sol is still coming soon.
OpenAI Developers says Ultrafast is its fastest way to build with Astra yet. In Codex, it runs up to 8x faster than Astra Standard and 4x faster than Astra Fast.
Figma says Dev Mode is now in Codex and is available in the Figma plugin.
OpenAI’s premium Ultrafast tier offers up to 8x faster token generation in Codex, at 300 tokens per second, and up to 6x faster generation in the API.
Ultrafast is available today for GPT-6 Astra in Codex, ChatGPT Work, and the API, with GPT-6.1 Sol support coming soon. Access in Codex and ChatGPT Work comes through the new Pro 500 plan, which has OpenAI’s highest usage limits at 25 times Plus.
OpenAI Developers says GPT-6.1 Sol is available today in the API, as well as in ChatGPT Work and Codex. It recommends Astra when maximizing quality matters most, and GPT-6.1 Sol for complex work meant to run more often, citing near-Astra performance at a substantially lower cost.
OpenAI Developers says a dot, an always-on agent powered by GPT-6 Astra, can use plugins, context, and a cloud computer to triage bug reports, scope failing builds, and return complete pull requests after building and testing changes with Codex.
OpenAI is upgrading Codex Security Cloud so access to cyber-capable models through Daybreak Blue is included by default. It scans full GitHub repositories, reviews new commits, and prepares fixes as a plugin in Codex desktop and web.
ChatGPT Space adds collaborative pages—interactive documents with charts, images, checklists, and dashboards—for Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans. Pages can be created and edited on web and desktop and viewed on mobile.
OpenAI says GPT-6.1 Sol is available starting today to Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu users in ChatGPT Work and Codex.
