Today’s Codex will feel “primitive” by fall — and its own team’s roadmap backs it up

OpenAI's Thibault Sottiaux predicted that Codex will become outdated within 2-3 months as the company moves toward more advanced AI agents requiring persistent cloud infrastructure rather than local machines. OpenAI's planned acquisition of Ona, which provides secure cloud development environments used by 2 million developers, would enable agents to work continuously in customer clouds without depending on a developer's laptop being online. This shift requires new infrastructure management layers including agent identities, access controls, and logging systems to keep pace with autonomously operating coding agents.
