OPENAI
OpenAI has rolled out a new tool called Codex CLI, a lightweight coding agent that runs directly in your terminal.
It connects OpenAI’s models with local coding tasks, making writing, editing, and moving files easier without leaving your desktop.
It’s part of OpenAI’s bigger plan to build “agentic” tools, think software that can eventually take an app idea and build the whole thing for you.
Codex CLI isn’t quite there yet, but it’s a solid starting point.
The tool is open source and gives developers a clean, minimal way to link AI models with their local code.
Sketch it, send it, code it
You can even feed it screenshots or rough sketches from the command line to help it along.
To get more people using it, OpenAI is handing out $1 million in API credits, with selected projects getting $25,000 worth each.
A few points to know:
Codex CLI is a local, open-source coding tool powered by OpenAI models.
It supports image inputs like screenshots and sketches, straight from your terminal.
OpenAI is offering $1M in API credits to support eligible projects.
Still, it’s worth remembering that AI coding tools aren’t perfect.
They can miss bugs or even introduce new ones, so caution’s advised, especially when working with sensitive files.
So it’s basically Clippy but shredded.
