OpenAI Codex Lead Predicts Rapid AI Shift
Tibo Sottiaux, Codex engineering lead at OpenAI, shared his view on rapid changes ahead for frontier models.
Tibo Sottiaux posted that recent results show Codex serving as an effective harness. He wrote that it will seem primitive in two to three months and that another major evolution in frontier AI use is coming. He added that the next generation of models will need more than a laptop. Several AI researchers, creators, and commentators quoted the post or replied with short reactions such as expressions of readiness or notes on cloud agents and agent limits.
Given some of the results I'm seeing recently, it's pretty clear Codex is a good harness. But it will seem primitive in 2-3 months and we're about to go through another major evolution in how we use AI at the frontier. The next generation of models need more than your laptop.
