Developers around the world have appreciated Codex since its inception, and I too have enjoyed using the AI tool to write programs. Given the product’s growing range of use cases, OpenAI has now announced that it will provide two months of free enterprise-level access to Codex. However, the offer is available only for a limited time and will expire in the next 30 days. The move comes as competition in AI coding tools continues to intensify, with businesses increasingly looking for faster ways to build software using AI support. OpenAI shared the update through its official Developers account on X, while CEO Sam Altman also promoted the offer in a separate post. Here’s how you can get Codex free for your organisation for two months.
