OpenAI Unveils Dedicated Codex AI Coding App for Developers

OpenAI has unveiled its new Codex app, a standalone platform designed to improve productivity for software developers. The application, currently available to ChatGPT users, functions as a central interface that uses artificial intelligence to assist with code management and development tasks.

Streamlined Management Of Ai Agents

The Codex app is intended to simplify interaction with multiple AI agents. Each agent can execute tasks such as code generation independently and operates in separate project threads. This structure allows developers to review changes in an organized way while maintaining efficiency in long-running projects.

Expanding Influence In The Coding Community

More than one million developers have used Codex in the past month, reflecting growing demand for AI-assisted coding tools. OpenAI first introduced Codex in April and made it generally available in October. The company is positioning the app alongside competing solutions from firms such as Anthropic and Cursor.

Enhanced Accessibility And Performance Improvements

The new Codex app integrates a comprehensive library of skills, such as image generation, expanding its functionality beyond traditional code creation. While access to Codex is typically bundled with ChatGPT subscriptions — including Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans — the firm is temporarily extending its availability to free users and those on its low-cost Go subscription tier. To further entice its user base, Openai is doubling rate limits across paid plans, underscoring its commitment to driving developer innovation.

Leadership And Vision

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described the Codex app as “the most loved internal product we’ve ever had,” adding that the team has been actively experimenting with it in recent months.

Eurobank Wins Two Euromoney Awards Following Cyprus Merger

Eurobank has been named Cyprus’ Best Bank for 2026 by Euromoney, while also receiving the award for Best Bank for Large Corporates at the publication’s latest Awards for Excellence.

Merger Marks A Milestone

The awards recognise the bank’s performance during 2025, a year marked by the completion of the legal merger between Hellenic Bank and Eurobank Cyprus. The transaction created Eurobank Limited, which the group says is now Cyprus’ largest banking and insurance organisation, with assets exceeding €28 billion.

Euromoney’s Awards for Excellence evaluate banks’ performance over the previous calendar year, with this edition covering January 1 to December 31, 2025.

Lending, Customers And Digital Growth

Eurobank said its business lending portfolio expanded by around 17 per cent during 2025, while its customer base grew to more than 710,000 retail clients and 11,500 business customers.

The bank also continued its digital expansion, saying more than 96 per cent of transactions are now completed through digital channels, and most financing applications are submitted via its mobile app.

Expanding International Presence

Eurobank also highlighted the opening of its first representative office in India, describing the move as a step toward strengthening business links between Cyprus and India while supporting Cyprus’ role as a gateway to the European Union for Indian businesses and investors.

According to the bank, Euromoney recognised not only the successful completion of the merger but also its lending growth, digital transformation and contribution to Cyprus’ position as an international business and investment hub.

CEO On The Awards

“The Euromoney awards confirm Eurobank’s strong momentum and the successful implementation of our group’s strategy in Cyprus,” Chief Executive Michalis Louis said.

He said the merger strengthened the bank’s ability to support households, businesses and the wider economy, while highlighting continued investment in digital services and the opening of the representative office in India as key milestones during the year.
