Installing Node.js and Running Your First Node.js Application

Daily short news for you

openai/codex is the latest open-source project from OpenAI, following their announcement of the two newest models, o3 and o4 mini. It is said that both o3 and o4 mini are very suitable for being Agents, so they released Codex as a lightweight Agent that runs directly in the Terminal.

Regarding its applicability, since it is an Agent, it can read/add/edit/delete the contents of your files. For example.

codex "explain this codebase to me"
Or integrate it into your CI/CD pipeline.

- name: Update changelog via Codex run: | npm install -g @openai/codex export OPENAI_API_KEY="${{ secrets.OPENAI_KEY }}" codex -a auto-edit --quiet "update CHANGELOG for next release"
Oh, I almost forgot, you need to use the OpenAI API 😆
