ChatGPT's Codex, which is an AI agent that lets you code and delegate programming tasks, is now testing a new feature that lets you choose the best solution.
OpenAI launched Codex in April, and it's a great tool, but it's nowhere close to replacing entry-level engineers.
OpenAI insists Codex could help developers achieve more by delegating their tasks to different agents, and a new update brings it closer to the expectations set by the company.
As per the release notes, ChatGPT Codex can now generate multiple responses simultaneously for a single task.
This means users can now explore multiple solutions, and pick the best approach instead of asking OpenAI to give another approach.
In addition, OpenAI has added some keyboard shortcuts and a page to explore them.
For example, you can now open Codex by pressing ⌘-/ on macOS and Ctrl+/ on other platforms. The update has added a “branch” query parameter in addition to the existing “environment”, “prompt” and “tab=archived” parameters.
