OpenAI states that your ChatGPT account connects it all, so you can work seamlessly between your local environment and Codex’s cloud without losing state.
If you use Cursor, which is based on VS, you can use Codex’s new extension that brings Codex into VS Code, Cursor, and other VS Code forks.
“Available in both the IDE and CLI, eliminating API key setup and providing access directly through your existing ChatGPT plan,” OpenAI noted.
In addition, OpenAI has added Seamless Local ↔ Cloud Handoff, which means developers can pair with Codex locally and then delegate tasks to the cloud to execute asynchronously without losing state.
