OPENAI CODEX translates English into programming code

The Research Laboratory on Artificial Intelligence (AI), OPENAIA Updated OPENAI CODEX, its automatic learning tool that translates the English language into programming code.The non -profit laboratory revealed in a blog article that it had started to offer a private beta version.

OPENAI has existed since the end of 2015, when it was founded in San Francisco by Elon Musk, Sam Altman and others who promised $ 1 billion in donations.Elon Musk resigned from the board of directors in 2018, but remains a donor.

In 2019, Openai received a $ billion from Microsoft which has been a partner since 2016.Since then, Openai has used Azure as a main cloud platform to create AI tools and deepen your research.

OPENAI CODEX available via an API

"We have created an improved version of Openai Codex and we publish it via our API in private beta version from today," explains the blog.

"Codex is the model that feeds Github Copilot, which we built and launched in partnership with Github a month ago.Mastering more than a dozen programming languages, Codex can now interpret simple natural language commands and execute them on behalf of the user, which allows you to create a natural language interface for existing applications.We now invite companies and developers to rely on OPENAI CODEX via our API.He continues.

A youtube demo is available here.It shows in particular how the codex can be used to create simple websites and rudimentary games using natural language but also translate between different programming languages and respond to data science requests.

Hope is that the automatic learning tool will really help to accelerate the work of professional programmers, as well as to help amateurs start to code themselves.

"It takes people who are already programmers and removes tedious work.We see this as a tool to multiply programmers, "said Greg Brockman, technical director and co -founder of Openai, in The Verge.

"The programming has two parts: you must" think seriously about a problem and try to understand it "and" map these small pieces with an existing code, whether it is a library, a function or aAPI, "said Greg Brockman, technical director and co -founder of Openai, at The Verge.
