New: OpenAI saw the AI coding revolution coming years ago, but was beat to market by Anthropic. This is how OpenAI got in this position, and how a small Codex team spent the last year racing to build a billion-dollar competitor to Claude Code. (yes Codex now has >$1B in ARR)

Silicon Valley giants and startups have released lots of OpenClaw style products recently, combining several different agent abilities (code execution, browser use, etc.) into one product. This broader approach seems to be where the industry is heading. wired.com/story/google-s…

New: Google has moved some staffers off its Project Mariner browser agent to higher priority projects, WIRED has learned. Browser agents were the hottest thing in tech last year, but Claude Code, OpenClaw, and the coding agent craze are reshaping the industry's priorities

there’s something to be said about OpenAI pitching every person as a manager of AI agents—in which you don’t need to be in the weeds on your work while simultaneously doing more of it—while the company is cutting down many of its projects and focusing on a few core areas

great scoop. in reporting my Codex feature for WIRED, it became clear that OpenAI did not prioritize coding for years, even though it saw the potential, but is now zeroing in on it. although, i do wonder what research areas will now be deprioritized as "side projects"

scoop - OpenAI’s Fidji Simo told staff last week that the company could not afford to be “distracted by side quests” as Anthropic gains steam in the enterprise and coding markets said company execs are actively looking at areas to deprioritize wsj.com/tech/ai/openai…

This slide at Nvidia GTC sums up the current state of chips/compute/neoclouds/hyperscalers. All of Nvidia’s “partners.” This slide is essentially propping up the economy

SCOOP: The writing software Grammarly will discontinue its AI “Expert Review” feature, which used the names of authors without their permission to suggest edits. But parent company Superhuman is still facing a class-action lawsuit over it, brought by journalist Julia Angwin.

@damian__morales I don't think they're in disagreement actually. The company wants Codex to power AI agents for other industries/use cases, but it has to figure out the appropriate safeguards first.

@ZeffMax These two statements seem discordant? “Simo tells me the company wants Codex to eventually power features in ChatGPT … to complete tasks …” “Altman says he’d love to release a general-purpose version of Codex, but he’s worried about the safety implications.” Thoughts?

Great piece by @ZeffMax on OpenAI's scramble to catch up in AI-assisted coding. It's a fascinating (and very fun!) look at why OpenAI fell behind, and how it caught up, in this incredibly important and consequential area of AI. wired.com/story/openai-c…

There's so much to say about the rise of Codex, and AI coding broadly, that it feels like we just scratched the surface in this (over 3,000 word!) story. It's also quite early, def too soon to pick winners and losers. Plus, can you really count out Google/xAI/Meta?👀
