OpenAI has announced a new initiative for Codex users that could significantly increase their access to the AI coding tool. Over the next 100 days, the company plans to reward one user every day with 10 times higher Codex usage limits for a month. The offer is aimed at people who are doing impressive or useful work using Codex.
SurveyThe announcement was made by Thibault Sottiaux, engineering lead for Codex at OpenAI, on X (formerly Twitter). In his post, he wrote, “I have a new kind of big button that I can press for Codex. Over the next 100 days, we will select one person per day who does impressive or incredibly useful work with Codex and give them 10X usage limits for a month to see what they can do with it.” “First one tomorrow.”
Soon after the post went live, users began asking questions about how the selection process would work. One user asked, “So how can we participate?” To this, Sottiaux replied, “Build stuff.”
Other users were also curious about how winners would be chosen. One person asked, “Will that person know or be notified?,” while another questioned, “How will you guys choose what’s the metric.” OpenAI has not yet shared additional details about the selection criteria or notification process. What I would suggest is to share your work in the comment section of the announcement post.

The company also introduced a feature called sites. With this addition, Codex can turn ideas, documents, plans and data into interactive websites and lightweight applications. OpenAI describes sites as a “new kind of canvas for your ideas.” The generated sites can be shared through a URL, making collaboration easier for teams.
