OpenAI Merges ChatGPT and Codex: A New Corporate AI...
OpenAI is officially transferring control of its product strategy to co-founder and president Greg Brockman, while preparing to merge ChatGPT and Codex into a single experience for users and developers. The market is already discussing a possible IPO of OpenAI in 2026 after a deal to sell employee shares for $6.6 billion at a valuation of around $852 billion. Against the backdrop of growing pressure from Google DeepMind, Anthropic, Meta, and rapidly growing startups, the focus is on agent AI that combines a dialog interface and code development. For companies in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, this is a signal: the familiar boundaries between chatbots, IDEs, and low-code platforms are disappearing over the next 12-18 months.
