"Today we’re launching a research preview of Codex: a cloud-based software engineering agent that can work on many tasks in parallel. Codex can perform tasks for you such as writing features, answering questions about your codebase, fixing bugs, and proposing pull requests for review; each task runs in its own cloud sandbox environment, preloaded with your repository.

Codex is powered by codex-1, a version of OpenAI o3 optimized for software engineering. It was trained using reinforcement learning on real-world coding tasks in a variety of environments to generate code that closely mirrors human style and PR preferences, adheres precisely to instructions, and can iteratively run tests until it receives a passing result. We’re starting to roll out Codex to ChatGPT Pro, Enterprise, and Team users today, with support for Plus and Edu coming soon."

"As of today, Amp, our agentic coding tool, is available to everyone. The waitlist is gone — go, go and sign up and use it!

For the past 10 weeks, Amp has been the main tool with which I develop software and — putting yet another exclamation mark behind the fact that the tools we use end up changing us — it has fundamentally changed how I develop software.

So I thought I’d use the occasion to write up how I personally use Amp.

Having an agent that connects to your database is very, very close to the joy you feel when it takes screenshots and iterates on UI components.

Here’s how to do it.

First, tell the agent to use psql (or any other CLI utility) or the tools provided by the postgres MCP server (or any other MCP server for your database) to connect to your DB.

Then, ask it things like this:

Update my user account (email starts with thorsten) to have unlimited invites
Or:

Return me a list of users with the most number of threads, sorted by number of threads
The agent will then do everything it can to return you that list: figure out the schema of the database, try this query, try that query.

Look, here I wanted to change my local development database. It didn’t know what the schema is, so it tried to figure that out first, which it did — by running four commands in parallel:

"We recently released Claude Code, a command line tool for agentic coding. Developed as a research project, Claude Code gives Anthropic engineers and researchers a more native way to integrate Claude into their coding workflows.

Claude Code is intentionally low-level and unopinionated, providing close to raw model access without forcing specific workflows. This design philosophy creates a flexible, customizable, scriptable, and safe power tool. While powerful, this flexibility presents a learning curve for engineers new to agentic coding tools—at least until they develop their own best practices.

This post outlines general patterns that have proven effective, both for Anthropic's internal teams and for external engineers using Claude Code across various codebases, languages, and environments. Nothing in this list is set in stone nor universally applicable; consider these suggestions as starting points. We encourage you to experiment and find what works best for you!"
