OpenAI reportedly rushing Codex Bot to rival Grok Bot, warns on recursive self-improvement
dotey · x · 2026-09-22
Per The Information and circulating rumors: OpenAI is racing to ship "Codex Bot" (rumored codename "Aeon") before DevDay on Sept 29, built on the open-source agent framework OpenClaw, with framework creator Peter Steinberger poached from Meta to lead personal-agent development. GPT-6-Sol is expected Tuesday, with Anthropic countering via Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5; Haiku and GPT 6 Terra reportedly won't ship. Separately, OpenAI published a post calling for US-led global standards on frontier AI, focusing on recursive self-improvement (RSI), stating fully autonomous RSI is "not currently achieved" and shouldn't proceed until safety is solved — backed by internal data showing agents already producing 3.1 research workdays per human workday.
