Scaling Codex to Enterprises Worldwide – OpenAI Announcement

TL;DR

OpenAI reported that Codex usage rose from more than 3 million to more than 4 million developers per week and launched Codex Labs and a partner program with leading global systems integrators to accelerate enterprise adoption of Codex across engineering and other workflows.

Adoption growth

OpenAI shared that in early April more than 3 million developers were using Codex each week; two weeks later the figure exceeded 4 million developers weekly.

Enterprise use cases across the software development lifecycle

Enterprises are rolling Codex into real workflows. Virgin Atlantic uses it to increase test coverage and team velocity, reducing technical debt and improving performance. Ramp uses it to accelerate code review. Notion uses it to quickly build new features. Cisco uses it to understand and reason across large, interconnected repositories. Rakuten uses it for incident response. Teams often start with one group and expand as leaders see gains in speed, output, and leverage.

Moving beyond coding

Codex is also being applied to knowledge‑work tasks such as browser‑based work, image generation, memory, and ongoing work across tools and apps, enabling teams to pull together context from different tools, reason through what matters, and turn scattered information into useful work like briefs, plans, checklists, drafts, and follow‑ups.

Introducing Codex Labs

Codex Labs brings OpenAI experts directly into organizations to help teams put Codex to work on real problems. Through hands‑on workshops and working sessions, enterprise organizations learn where Codex fits, how to integrate it into existing workflows, and how to move from early usage to repeatable deployment. The goal is to help enterprises get real value from Codex faster.

Scaling enterprise Codex use with partners

The demand for enterprise Codex adoption is outpacing OpenAI’s ability to help organizations adopt it as quickly as they’d like. To scale impact, OpenAI is working with leading global systems integrators (GSIs). Current partners include Accenture, Capgemini, CGI, Cognizant, Infosys, PwC, and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). These partners will help enterprise customers identify and deploy high‑value Codex use cases across the software development lifecycle, moving from pilots to production‑ready deployments. They are also using Codex internally to change how their teams operate and to build repeatable ways to bring Codex to customers.

“Our professionals are using Codex to move from static requirements to working solutions in hours, not weeks. It’s enabling rapid prototyping, real‑time workflow redesign, and faster iteration across the development lifecycle. That speed translates directly into faster builds and better outcomes for our clients.” — Lan Guan, Chief AI Officer, Accenture

Get started

OpenAI invites enterprises to engage with Codex Labs or work with the listed partner GSIs to begin adopting Codex.

What’s next

Codex is already becoming part of how enterprises build software and run production workloads. OpenAI aims to help more organizations put Codex to work and expects its partner network to scale this effort globally.
