ā˜ļøOpenAI’s New Cloud-Based Software Engineering Agent

OpenAI recently introduced ā€œCodex,ā€ a cloud-based Software Engineering Agent that autonomously analyzes, writes, and implements code.

Key Details:
  • It’s powered by codex-1, a tailored version of OpenAI o3 that’s optimized for complex software engineering workflows.

  • OpenAI o3 is a reasoning model designed to handle more complex multi-step problems. It leverages Chain-of-Thought (CoT) techniques to break down these more complex multi-step problems into manageable sub-problems. Then, it solves each manageable sub-problem, combining them into a complete solution.

  • Pro, Team, and Enterprise users can access ā€œCodexā€ today through the sidebar within ChatGPT. To assign ā€œCodexā€ a new coding task, you simply provide an input and click ā€œCode.ā€ If you also want to ask ā€œCodexā€ a question about your codebase, you click ā€œAsk.ā€

Why It’s Important:
  • What makes ā€œCodexā€ special is that it introduces parallelism: the ability to manage multiple parts of a complex software engineering workflow at the same time.

  • Just look at your web browser right now. How many tabs do you have open? Now, what’s happening in all those tabs? Each browser tab is static. You can’t have one tab open for writing code and another tab open for writing a Slack message at the same time.

AI RESEARCH

āš™ļøLLMs Get Lost In Multi-Turn Conversations

Microsoft and Salesforce found that even the most capable LLMs significantly underperform during multi-turn conversations, often getting ā€œlostā€ in all the dialogue.

Key Details:
  • Multi-turn conversations occur when user instructions are given in multiple stages rather than all at once. In other words, it’s a back-and-forth dialogue that unfolds over several inputs, or ā€œturns.ā€

  • They examined OpenAI’s GPT-4.1, Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet, and Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro across six conversational tasks, analyzing over 200,000 simulated back-and-forth dialogues.

  • They discovered that each LLM’s accuracy and performance dropped by an average of 39% across all six conversational tasks when inputs were split over multiple turns.

  • In contrast, the same LLMs achieved a 90% success rate across all six conversational tasks when using single-turn conversations: when user instructions are given as a single, complete input or ā€œprompt.ā€

Why It’s Important:
  • Understanding that even the most capable LLMs significantly struggle with multi-turn conversations highlights the need for clear, concise, and cohesive inputs.

  • By providing a single, well-structured ā€œprompt,ā€ you reduce the chance of the LLM you’re using from getting ā€œlostā€ in all the dialogue. So, aim to condense your ā€œpromptsā€ to maximize the effectiveness of the outputs you receive.
