OpenAI launches reusable cloud dev environments for Codex
What happened
On September 30, 2026, at Dev Day, OpenAI introduced reusable cloud development environments for its software engineering agent Codex. They can be reached from a laptop, phone or the cloud, start tasks faster, and let teams share approved settings and permissions. Follow-up coverage the same day described a heavily upgraded Codex Cloud built around configurable cloud environments, with the author saying it is hard to go back to local development once configured. An Agents API also entered preview, using the same technology behind cloud agents such as dots, with computer use support for building similar products. Codex cloud environments keep agents running after a laptop is closed; the reusable environments come preloaded with repos, dependencies, scripts and settings to cut setup time, and users can track progress and adjust tasks from a phone or another computer.
