OpenAI launches reusable Codex cloud environments so agents keep working with your laptop closed
jarrodwatts · x · 2026-09-30
OpenAI announced Codex cloud environments: reusable setups with your repo, dependencies, scripts and settings pre-configured, reducing setup time and speeding up starts. You can close your laptop and cloud agents keep working. Developer jarrodwatts questioned the novelty, asking whether this was 'already a thing', suggesting the update may formalize existing capabilities rather than add something entirely new.
