The app can also then use code to do things like gather and analyze information, OpenAI officials said during a briefing with reporters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Coding is arguably the most successful application for AI models in recent years. Coding tools are key to helping\u00a0AI startups\u00a0attract business customers and the space has grown increasingly competitive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>OpenAI lags behind its rivals in this area, particularly the AI startup Anthropic, which has dominated the coding market with its Claude Code tool. Anthropic says Claude Code reached $1 billion in revenue, on an annualized basis, in the six months after it was made available to the public.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Codex app, released on Monday, is part of OpenAI&#8217;s redoubled efforts to gain ground. OpenAI said it\u2019s also tried to make the app more user-friendly to help make these advanced capabilities more accessible to the masses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Many observers of the coding space say the code-generation tools aren\u2019t yet good enough to entirely replace human tech workers. But these tools do make their work significantly faster.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThe models just don\u2019t run out of dopamine,\u201d <strong>CEO Sam Altman<\/strong> said, relaying a recent conversation with a colleague. \u201cThey keep trying, they don&#8217;t run out of motivation.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Content Courtesy &#8211;
