Tristan Buckmaster, a mathematician at New York University, and Levent Alpöge, a researcher employed at Anthropic but working in a personal capacity, had been developing their own solution and made use of multiple different LLMs in their efforts, including Anthropic Claude, OpenAI's Codex tool and its Astra frontier model. According to a statement by Buckmaster, OpenAI may have doubled down on its efforts regarding Navier-Stokes after learning that a team including rival Anthropic was close to a solution. He questioned whether OpenAI had leveraged the work he and his colleague had done with Codex to obtain its own breakthrough. "I asked whether the model had been trained on, or had access to, our sessions in Codex, into which we had been putting all our drafts for the whole of this project. I was told the model did not look up user data. I asked again, about training, and I did not get an answer," the statement reads.

OpenAI Is Developing a'Persistent' AI Agent Code reviewed by WIRED reveals the company is developing a feature that enables Codex to continue working proactively until it is "put to sleep." OpenAI is developing a proactive, highly persistent version of its flagship AI agent, Codex, WIRED has learned. In recent days, OpenAI has started adding code for a new "Persistent mode" setting to its command line version of Codex, according to changes made to the product's code base reviewed by WIRED. Changes to the Codex command line tool are made public by default, and new features tend to surface there before making their way to OpenAI's other agent products, such as the Codex desktop app and ChatGPT Work. Persistent mode has not been broadly rolled out or announced yet, but could be in the future.

I wore the world's first HDR10 smart glasses TCL's new E Ink tablet beats the Remarkable and Kindle Anker's new charger is one of the most unique I've ever seen I wore the world's first HDR10 smart glasses TCL's new E Ink tablet beats the Remarkable and Kindle Anker's new charger is one of the most unique I've ever seen Here's how the agentic AI handles research, files, and multistep projects, plus its risks and limits. ChatGPT Work can browse, manage files, and complete tasks. Free users can try it, but paid plans offer more capacity. That's because ChatGPT Work is agentic, which is a fancy way of describing how some AIs can go off and accomplish a series of tasks. Because ChatGPT has become more capable, the differences between ChatGPT and ChatGPT Work can be subtle.

ChatGPT for Teens has a rule that AI shouldn't claim to have feelings or pretend to be human. It's something that every AI model should adopt. One of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other big AI chatbots is when they try to pass as flesh-and-blood people, piling on first-person pronouns and telling me about their feelings. All those flattering and distracting "I couldn't agree more!" and "We make a great team!" platitudes obscure what's actually going on under ChatGPT's hood: a highly complex, machine-driven game of probabilities, where the AI model draws on its knowledge of billions of pages of text to predict the best next word in a sentence. That obfuscation of what an AI model really is--a digital prediction engine, rather than a friend or a confidant--can not only be annoying and confusing, but also dangerous, with a string of lawsuits alleging that overly obsequious AI chatbots helped or even encouraged its users, including teens, to take their own lives .

With this, OpenAI now has a native client on all major desktop operating systems and is placing its coding agent, Codex, alongside ChatGPT and its Work environment.

Here's what they say matters in daily AI coding workflows. Claude Code dominates, but Codex has crucial advantages. Whichever AI you choose, human review remains essential. I explained how I use both tools and provided some suggestions for exploring them.

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. AI coding agents can move fast--but one careless rm -rf command can erase files, projects, or worse. Here's why you should block it before your next vibe-coding session. It's all too easy to get into the zone with AI coding tools like Claude Code, Codex, or Google's Antigravity. You point them at your project, give them instructions, and the code starts flowing, just like magic.

OpenAI is in the midst of overhauling ChatGPT . The goal is to transform the chatbot's simple interface into a personalized AI agent that can handle tasks in every facet of your personal and professional life. The company has taken to calling this new product, privately and publicly, a "super app." The all-in-one platform represents one of the biggest bets OpenAI has ever made, and one engineering leader now holds enormous sway over whether it pays off: Thibault Sottiaux. Last month, Sottiaux was appointed OpenAI's head of core products, overseeing both ChatGPT and Codex, as well as combining them into the future super app.

The CEO of Google DeepMind tells WIRED that companies should use the productivity gains of AI to do more, not lay people off. Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind, is keen to talk about the coding skills of his company's newest model, Gemini 3.5 Flash. The model has been trained to perform complex agentic coding tasks: translate large code bases from one language to another; find and fix bugs lurking deep in knotty code; and even write entire operating systems from scratch. Hassabis does not, however, think this spells doom for software developers. "I have no idea why people are going around talking with certainty about that," Hassabis tells WIRED ahead of the new model reveal at today's Google's I/O event .

Since debuting last spring, OpenAI's Codex coding app has seen standalone Mac and Windows releases, so it was only a matter of time before OpenAI gave people a way to access their Codex projects on mobile. Starting today, all ChatGPT users, including those using the chatbot through OpenAI's Go and Free tiers, can use the software through the ChatGPT app on Android and iOS. To be clear, you won't be using Codex to program on your phone. Instead, the ChatGPT mobile app is acting here as a intermediary between you and whatever environment you've set it up for your coding projects, whether that be a physical device like a Mac mini or a remote space managed by your company. That might seem limiting, but it does mean your files, credentials and permissions stay secure on the machine where Codex is running.
