OpenAI debuts Codex CLI, an open source coding tool for terminals


OpenAI is launching an open source tool called Codex CLI, which brings the company's AI models to local terminal software.

In a bid to inject AI into more of the programming process, OpenAI is launching Codex CLI, a coding “agent” designed to run locally from terminal software. Recently, the company’s CFO, Sarah Friar, described what she called the “agentic software engineer,” a set of tools OpenAI intends to build that can take a project description for an app and effectively create it and even quality assurance test it. In a blog post provided to TechCrunch, OpenAI added, “You can get the benefits of multimodal reasoning from the command line by passing screenshots or low fidelity sketches to the model, combined with access to your code locally [via Codex CLI].”
