You can finally close your laptop now and your agents will keep working. Codex cloud environments are here. Reusable environments mean less setup and faster starts, with your repo, dependencies, scripts, and settings already in place.
Context
OpenAI says agents in Codex, its AI coding tool, can now run in cloud environments, on remote machines rather than the developer's own computer, so they "keep working" after the developer closes their laptop. A task started this way no longer depends on the developer's computer staying on.
An environment here is the setup a coding needs before it can do useful work: the project's code repository, its dependencies (the outside packages the code relies on), scripts and settings. OpenAI says these environments are reusable, so that setup is already in place when a new task starts, which it says means less setup and faster starts.
