Codex for Open Source - 2026

Open AI recently announced a new Codex for Open Source plan at:

It is a fantastic initiative and covers:

What the program includes

  • Six months of ChatGPT Pro with Codex for day-to-day coding, triage, review, and maintainer workflows
  • Conditional access to Codex Security for repositories that need deeper security coverage
  • API credits through the Codex Open Source Fund for projects that use Codex in pull request review, maintainer automation, release workflows, or other core OSS work

A few of us at Discourse were accepted to the program overnight :hugs:

Thanks @tibo and all involved in kicking off the program.

Congrats on your repo stars!

The next achievement to unlock is to be in the list of “these partners in your vertical already have these testimonials about 5.4-codex before you got access”.

It would be wonderful, for sure. We spent so much time recently with GPT 5.4 xhigh scanning Discourse, I completed a 40 hour loop yesterday and fished out 20 or so security bugs that are super subtle.

It sure would be nice to be involved a bit more :hugs:
