Peter Steinberger, founder of the open-source project OpenClaw, disclosed that his small team operates approximately 100 Codex instances in the cloud to assist in software development. These AI agents perform various tasks, including reviewing pull requests, identifying security vulnerabilities, and generating fixes. They also monitor project benchmarks and engage in team discussions to initiate new feature requests. In the past month, the OpenAI API bill reached $1.3 million, driven by 603 billion tokens and 7.6 million requests, with the leading model being GPT-5.5. Steinberger justified the expenses by highlighting the exploration of new software development methodologies, emphasizing that all creations are open source and compatible with both leading and open models.

OpenAI Merges ChatGPT and Codex Under Greg Brockman, Streamlining Product Strategy
OpenAI has merged its ChatGPT and Codex platforms into a unified product under the leadership of co-founder Greg Brockman, who has assumed full responsibility for the company’s product strategy. This strategic consolidation aims to create a single agentic platform as the company prepares for its IPO. The restructuring follows a prior arrangement initiated when CEO Fidji Simo took medical leave, and it outlines four main pillars of focus under Brockman’s guidance. Key personnel have been reassigned to enhance product offerings, with significant changes including the shutdown of various side projects and a renewed emphasis on core capabilities. This shift comes as the competitive landscape intensifies, with other companies like Cursor rapidly gaining market traction in developer tools.
