OpenAI's Codex lead Tibo teases a new domain he bought without saying what it is for
I bought a new domain and I’m very excited for it. Very
Context
A teaser from the person running Codex's daily updates hints at an upcoming launch, but nothing about it is known yet.
This is a first hand teaser from Tibo, who leads Codex at OpenAI. He did not name the domain or say what it is for, so anything about a launch is unconfirmed.
Deep dive
Just after midnight on October 19, Tibo posted: I bought a new domain and I'm very excited for it. Very.
He gave no other details, and he had not added any in the thread by the time of this scan. The post passed 770,000 views and drew more than 1,200 replies.
Tibo has been posting numbered daily updates for Codex and ChatGPT Work as part of what he has called a 28 day push. Day 14, on October 18, let users edit earlier messages within a thread in the desktop app, and earlier days brought usage limit resets and a larger default context window. About 20 minutes before the domain post, he posted that OpenAI had worked with OpenCode to refund credits drawn in an attack on its users.
This month OpenAI used a separate chatgpt.site address for a community site of hardware projects built with Codex. Tibo did not say whether the new domain is for OpenAI, Codex or a personal project.
What to expect next
Watch for Tibo or OpenAI to reveal the domain, possibly as one of the remaining days of his 28 day push.
Also watch Codex's changelog and OpenAI's announcements over the coming days for a new product or site. Until he says more, the post is only a teaser, and guesses in the replies about what it is for are not confirmed by Tibo or OpenAI.
