OpenAI launches Codex
A cloud-based software engineering agent
OpenAI Codex is a cutting-edge AI coding assistant that helps developers write, debug, and automate code with ease. Codex can handle multiple programming tasks at once, generate code from natural language prompts, fix bugs, write tests, and even interact with external services like APIs or online platforms. Its ability to explain code, suggest improvements, and automate routine work makes it a valuable tool for both beginners and professional developers.
When it comes to pricing, Codex is currently included with ChatGPT Pro (starting at 20$/month), Team, and Enterprise subscriptions, with usage limits that expand with access. Codex uses a token-based pricing system: $1.50 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, with a 75% discount for prompt caching to lower costs on repeated tasks. OpenAI plans to introduce new flexibility with Codex availability soon, allowing teams to scale usage as their projects grow. This makes Codex an affordable and scalable solution for anyone looking to boost their coding productivity.
Meta launches standalone AI chat app
Powered by its advanced Llama 3 model, aiming to compete with ChatGPT and other popular AI assistants. The app offers personalized conversations by drawing on user data from Facebook and Instagram, supports both text and voice chat, and includes multilingual capabilities for seamless use. Initially available in select countries, Meta's new AI app promises smarter, more context-aware interactions for users across its social platforms.
Amazon to launch AI Audio Summaries
Amazon has started testing AI-powered audio summaries on select product pages in the U.S., offering shoppers quick, conversational highlights of key product features and customer reviews. These summaries are generated by AI "shopping experts" using large language models that analyze thousands of reviews and online information to help customers make faster, more informed decisions. The feature, accessible via a "Hear the highlights" button in the Amazon Shopping app, is currently limited but is expected to expand to more products and users in the coming months.
Microsoft Build 2025 Key Launches: AI Agents and Developer Tools
At Microsoft Build 2025, Satya Nadella announced several major launches focused on AI-powered agents and developer productivity:
