Available through the OpenAI API in a private beta, Codex can translate natural language into code in upwards of a dozen programming language.
OpenAI, the artificial intelligence research and deployment venture that co-developed the GitHub Copilot AI-based coding tool, has released an API version of the model that powers Copilot. On August 10, OpenAI released an improved version of its OpenAI Codex AI system, which translates natural language into code, through the OpenAI API in a private beta. Codex is the model that powers Copilot, which was launched as a Visual Studio Code extension. OpenAI is inviting developers and businesses to build on top of OpenAI Codex through the API and has set up a Codex waitlist to access the API.
