Nvidia has equipped all 30,000 engineers with OpenAI’s advanced AI coding tool, Codex, a significant enterprise rollout. This move aligns with CEO Jensen Huang’s vision to automate tasks, freeing engineers to focus on problem-solving. Engineers are reportedly impressed with Codex’s ability to maintain context during complex coding sessions, highlighting its efficiency and advanced capabilities.

Nvidia has rolled out OpenAI’s agentic coding tool Codex to all 30,000 of its engineers, months after CEO Jensen Huang told employees he wanted “every task that is possible to be automated with artificial intelligence to be automated.” The company-wide deployment, announced by OpenAI, is one of the largest enterprise rollouts of an AI coding assistant to date. OpenAI said it worked closely with Nvidia to deliver cloud-managed admin controls and US-only processing with fail-safes.The latest version of Codex runs on the GPT-5.3-codex model, which engineers inside Nvidia are already praising for its ability to handle complex, multi-step workflows without losing context mid-session.Dennis Hannusch, an engineer at Nvidia, said he started using the new model this week and called it “reaaally good.” “I keep expecting quality to drop deep into a session, but it doesn’t,” he wrote on X. Another Nvidia engineer, Benjamin Klieger, said he was particularly impressed with the tool’s context management and token efficiency—”probably the two most important advances for agents right now.”
