What languages does Codex support? Just Python or more?
Sure thing! Basically, ChatGPT Codex is an AI model that can understand and write code. It’s like having a super smart assistant that can help you with programming tasks.
How does it compare to other AI coding tools out there?
Is there any way to customize Codex for specific projects?

I used it a bit for some Python scripts and it saved me tons of time. It’s not perfect but pretty close!
I tried asking it to fix bugs and it worked surprisingly well!
Can this help beginners learn programming?
I heard it’s based on OpenAI’s models but focused on code data from GitHub and other sources. Anyone know more?
