Codex is OpenAI's delegation-first coding agent: tasks are handed off and completed autonomously, in the cloud or locally via its CLI and IDE extension. It is available through ChatGPT subscription plans at around $20/mo, and separately via API billed by tokens, which signals a usage pattern of bursty, task-scoped delegation rather than continuous per-seat assistance. Because of the token-billed path, per-seat cost modeling fits it poorly. It runs on OpenAI's models only.
