This video is a tutorial-style announcement with the intent to educate and inspire developers about OpenAI’s new terminal-native coding agent, Codex CLI. Unlike traditional AI code assistants, Codex CLI not only writes code but also executes terminal commands, manipulates files, manages version control, and iterates until tasks are completed. It supports multimodal inputs like screenshots and diagrams and integrates directly with OpenAI models like GPT-4.1. The tool is open source, with generous early access and developer-friendly pricing via the API. It’s currently available for Pro, Enterprise, and Team users, with a broader rollout planned.
- Executes commands and manipulates files directly in the terminal
- Iterates automatically until the code works and tests pass
- Integrates with version control and runs in a sandbox environment
- Accepts multimodal input like screenshots or flow diagrams
- Requires minimal setup—just an OpenAI API key
- Works with GPT-4.1 and is built to operate where devs already work
- Free early access for a few weeks with rate limits coming later
- API pricing is $0.50–$6 per million tokens, with discounts for caching
- $1M fund announced to support open-source projects using the API
