[OpenAI Launches 28-Day Sprint for Codex: Daily Significant Improvements or Reset Quota] Beating AI Newsflash: OpenAI's Product and Operations Director Thibault Sottiaux announced that over the next 28 days, Codex and ChatGPT Work must either deliver an update that provides 'clear improvements for most users' each day or undergo a full reset (quota reset). The day before, Sottiaux mentioned that the team had already 'locked in their goals.' User feedback has been very clear—everyone wants the product to become simpler. Moving forward, the team will focus on four areas: simplifying the product, improving efficiency to provide users with more usable capacity, breakthrough features, and new models. This statement comes as Codex faces stronger external competition. After Anthropic released Opus 5.5, comparisons between Claude Code and Codex have noticeably increased within the community, with discussions primarily centered on model capabilities, speed, and subscription quotas.
