'''OpenAI Codex''' is an [[artificial intelligence]] model developed by [[OpenAI]]. It parses natural language and generates [[computer program|code]] in response. It powers [[GitHub Copilot]], a programming [[autocompletion]] tool for select [[Integrated development environment|IDEs]], like [[Visual Studio Code]] and [[Vim (text editor)|Neovim]].<ref name="OAI">{{cite web|last=Zaremba|first=Wojciech|author-link=Wojciech Zaremba|date=August 10, 2021|title=OpenAI Codex|url=https://openai.com/blog/openai-codex/|access-date=2021-09-03|website=[[OpenAI]]|archive-date=2023-02-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230203201912/https://openai.com/blog/openai-codex/|url-status=live}}</ref> Codex is a descendant of OpenAI's [[GPT-3]] model, [[fine-tuning (machine learning)|fine-tuned]] for use in programming applications.
 
OpenAI released an [[API]] for Codex in [[closed beta]].<ref name="OAI" /> In March 2023, OpenAI shut down access to Codex.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kemper |first=Jonathan |date=2023-03-22 |title=OpenAI kills its Codex code model, recommends GPT3.5 instead |url=https://the-decoder.com/openai-kills-code-model-codex/ |access-date=2023-03-29 |website=THE DECODER |language=en-US |archive-date=2023-06-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230601195835/https://the-decoder.com/openai-kills-code-model-codex/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Due to public appeals from researchers, OpenAI reversed course.<ref>{{Cite tweet |user=OfficialLoganK |author=Logan Kilpatrick |number=1638336152800206858 |title=Hey Carolyn, we will continue to support Codex access via our Researcher Access Program.

OpenAI claims that Codex can create code in over a dozen programming languages, including [[Go (programming language)|Go]], [[JavaScript]], [[Perl]], [[PHP]], [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]], [[Shell (programming language)|Shell]], [[Swift (programming language)|Swift]], and [[TypeScript]], though it is most effective in Python.<ref name="OAI" /> According to ''[[VentureBeat]]'', demonstrations uploaded by OpenAI showed impressive [[coreference resolution]] capabilities. The demonstrators were able to create a [[browser game]] in JavaScript and generate data science charts using [[matplotlib]].<ref name="VB" />
 
A very powerful language model called OpenAI Codex was created expressly to generate code in response to natural language commands. It is capable of understanding and producing code in a multitude of areas because it is compatible with a large number of programming languages and libraries. Codex is a useful tool for developers who want to optimize their coding processes because it can debug, parse natural language inquiries, and provide code completions.<ref>{{Cite web |title= Best AI Headshot Generators |url=https://supermachines.io/best-ai-headshot-generators |access-date=2024-03-12 |language=en-US}}</ref>
 
OpenAI showed that Codex can interface with services and apps such as [[Mailchimp]], [[Microsoft Word]], [[Spotify]], and [[Google Calendar]].<ref name="VB" /><ref name="Verge">{{Cite news|last=Vincent|first=James|date=August 10, 2021|title=OpenAI can translate English into code with its new machine learning software Codex|work=[[The Verge]]|url=https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/10/22618128/openai-codex-natural-language-into-code-api-beta-access|access-date=2021-09-03|archive-date=2021-09-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210902142401/https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/10/22618128/openai-codex-natural-language-into-code-api-beta-access|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Microsoft]] is {{vague|text=reportedly interested in exploring|reason=this sentence says only marginally more than nothing|date=March 2023}} Codex's capabilities.<ref name="Verge" />
