OpenAI Develops 'Persistent Mode' Agent, Codex Will Be Able to Work Proactively and for Extended Periods
Summary
According to Wired, OpenAI is developing a more proactive and long-running Codex, aiming to free its flagship AI agent from waiting for user commands. The feature is currently in testing and not widely available. OpenAI has also designed an 'initiative' capability, enabling the agent to proactively schedule follow-up work and execute tasks across sessions. This move aims to increase usage of the most advanced models, as only a small fraction of ChatGPT's vast user base currently uses them.
Bubble analysis
This news does not directly involve investment or funding, but it reflects OpenAI's attempt to increase model usage to boost revenue, thereby narrowing the gap between AI revenue and massive capital expenditures. If successful, it could help alleviate bubble concerns; however, it is still in testing, and its impact on the bubble remains unclear.
