OpenAI broadens AI focus to Codex and releases prompt‑engineering guide for ChatGPT

OpenAI announced that it will give equal emphasis to its Codex model alongside the GPT series, signaling a strategic shift to diversify AI capabilities beyond natural‑language processing. The move is described as an “opening up” of development, aiming to foster broader innovation for developers and researchers across multiple AI applications.

In a separate update, OpenAI refreshed its documentation with a 28‑point guide on prompt engineering for ChatGPT and its API. The guidance stresses using the latest model versions, writing clear and specific instructions, structuring context with labeled sections and delimiters, and iterating prompts experimentally. It highlights the relevance of precise prompting for tasks such as crypto‑trading analysis, smart‑contract auditing, and other specialized use cases.
