OpenAI Codex, a natural language-to-code system based on GPT-3, helps turn easy English instructions into over a dozen popular coding languages. Codex was released last August through our API and is the principal constructing block of GitHub Copilot.

Our motivation behind Codex is to complement developers’ work and increase productivity. Codex helps computers to raised understand people’s intent, which enables everyone to do more with computers. That is an integral a part of our mission to construct general-purpose AI that advantages all of humanity.

For enterprise customers, Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service provides developers with access to Codex and our other models, like GPT-3 and embeddings, together with enterprise-grade capabilities which are built into Microsoft Azure. At its Construct conference today, Microsoft announced that Azure OpenAI Service—previously available by invitation only—is now available in a limited access preview. We’re already seeing latest applications of Azure OpenAI Service across many industry verticals, from healthcare to financial services.
