Short summary
OpenAI has integrated Codex directly into ChatGPT, consolidating its code-generation capabilities. The move positions ChatGPT against Anthropic's Claude Cowork, which offers similar code-collaboration features. This reflects OpenAI's strategy to unify tools within its primary product rather than maintain separate offerings.
