US EditionOpenAI picks up pace against Claude Code with new Codex desktop app
- On Monday, OpenAI released a desktop macOS app for Codex, temporarily available to all ChatGPT users on Apple computers.
- To close the gap with rivals, OpenAI positioned the Codex app to catch up with agentic-app trends and leverage GPT-5.2-Codex's ability for longer, end-to-end coding tasks.
- Codex introduces Skills and Automations enabling scheduled tasks with results in a review queue; agents run in separate threads using worktrees and can operate independently for up to 30 minutes, OpenAI said.
- More than 1 million developers have used Codex in the past month, with OpenAI temporarily doubling rate limits across paid plans and including access in ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu subscriptions.
- The move intensifies competition with Anthropic and Google as OpenAI's roadmap includes Windows support, cloud triggers, and continuous agents amid cybersecurity risks, Altman said.
