Autonomy and agency

GPT-5-Codex extends agentic coding runs beyond seven hours

OpenAI released GPT-5-Codex across Codex cloud, terminal, IDE, GitHub, and mobile surfaces. The company reported successful independent software-engineering runs lasting more than seven hours, while its system-card addendum documented default sandboxing, disabled network access, prompt-injection training, and High biological and chemical capability treatment.

Why it moved the index

A released coding agent that can plan, edit, test, and recover over multi-hour tasks materially lengthens practical machine autonomy. Broad product availability and the High biological and chemical capability classification strengthen the nexus. The score is moderated because the longest-run result is developer-reported and default sandbox, network, and review controls constrain external effects.
