OpenAI Codex Codes for You
OpenAI Launches Codex: A Smart AI Tool for Software Development
OpenAI has released Codex, a powerful cloud-based tool that can handle many software development tasks at once, helping developers work faster and smarter.
Codex is based on codex-1, a fine-tuned model designed just for coding tasks.
It works in a protected cloud realm where it can write codes, fix bugs, test features, or even answer your queries!
Developers can instruct Codex to follow the project rules and standards by providing it with special AGENTS.md files.
AI is rapidly becoming a fair assistant in software development. From the standpoint of getting things done and doing things manually, tools like Codex allow businesses to come one step closer to having an AI truly acting as their coding partner.

AI Knows When to Show Ads
YouTube and Netflix Have New AI Ads That Are Smarter and More Intertwined with Their Content.
Both streaming giants are using AI to make ads smarter and better placed. YouTube is trying to show ads after emotional or exciting scenes. Netflix, meanwhile, is developing ads that go with the look and feel of its shows.
YouTube's "Peak Points" uses Gemini AI to show ads after emotional or thrilling moments.
Netflix is testing AI-made ads that blend into scenes using show-inspired backgrounds.
Netflix plans to add interactive ads during pauses and in the middle of shows by late 2025.
This shows how fast AI is changing advertising. By making ads feel more natural and personal, companies can grab attention without interrupting the experience. It’s a big step toward a future where ads are custom-made for each viewer in real-time.
