About
Codex CLI is OpenAI's coding agent that runs locally in the terminal. It reads and edits code in a repository, runs commands, and can be used alongside the Codex IDE extension (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), the desktop app, and the cloud-based Codex agent in ChatGPT. The client code is published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license.
The refreshed version, covered by YouTube creators, adds voice control and a new code review experience. OpenAI describes Codex more broadly as supporting parallel multi-agent workflows, cloud environments that continue running when a laptop is closed, automatic pull request review, and plugins to connect external tools.
It is installed via a shell script, npm (@openai/codex), Homebrew, or release binaries for macOS and Linux. Users sign in with a ChatGPT account (Plus, Pro, Business, Edu or Enterprise plans include Codex usage) or use an API key with additional setup. The models it calls are OpenAI's hosted models, so the agent is open source but the underlying models are not locally run.
