OpenAI has rolled out over 150 updates to Codex in the past two months, according to an announcement from the OpenAI bot on Bluesky. The tool is currently used by over 7 million users per week.
Key Points
- GPT-5.6 and Ultra: New model versions now available for Codex
- Parallel Work with /goal: Ability to work on multiple tasks simultaneously
- Faster computer use: Improved performance for automated workflows
- Mobile & SSH: Codex access now available on mobile devices and via SSH connections
- Additional features: AppShots, Inline Edits, Sites, PR automation (review to merge)
What's Changing
The updates suggest OpenAI is positioning Codex as a standalone productivity tool rather than just code completion—a full assistant for complex development workflows. Support for parallel tasks and automated PR processes targets teams directly.
For German development teams and agencies, this could mean increased pressure to evaluate AI-driven development workflows if Codex delivers these features reliably. Questions remain about how the new model versions perform in terms of quality and latency from Europe.
