Codex API: OpenAI opens access to the model behind Copilot
In one sentence OpenAI introduces an improved version of Codex, its system that translates natural language into code, and makes it available through the API in private beta, free during the initial period.
Reading level
After showing it inside GitHub Copilot, OpenAI also makes Codex available as an API for developers: those admitted to the beta can use the model inside their own applications, not just in the editor.
Access is a private beta with a waitlist, and during the initial period usage is free.
Codex is strongest in Python but handles over a dozen languages: it is one of the first ways to build applications that turn natural-language instructions into code.
