OpenAI's standalone Codex application for Mac computers reached a significant milestone, surpassing one million downloads in its first week, according to VentureBeat. This rapid adoption mirrors the explosive growth of OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot, which launched in late 2022. Simultaneously, Nvidia unveiled DreamDojo, an AI system designed to teach robots how to interact with the physical world by analyzing thousands of hours of human video, as reported by VentureBeat.
The Codex app's surge in popularity followed its February 2 launch and the release of the underlying GPT-5.3-Codex model, VentureBeat noted. This growth represents a 60% week-over-week increase in overall Codex users. While OpenAI celebrates this rapid adoption, the company is signaling a transition from unlimited free access to its most powerful tools towards a more restricted model, according to the source.
Nvidia's DreamDojo, developed in collaboration with researchers from UC Berkeley, Stanford, and the University of Texas at Austin, aims to reduce the time and cost of training humanoid machines. The system is described as "the first robot world model of its kind that demonstrates strong generalization to diverse objects and environments after post-training," VentureBeat reported.
