OpenAI Shares Statistics on Codex: Interesting Trends in Usage
OpenAI has released new data on Codex usage, highlighting the growing role of agents in user workflows.

Let's take a look:
– Inside OpenAI, Codex now accounts for 99.8% of their output tokens, while ChatGPT only makes up 0.2%.
– Individual users still predominantly use ChatGPT, but in business, tokens in Codex account for approximately 64% of total consumption.
– The top 1% of the most active Codex users run agents for an average of 71 hours a day (this is the sum across all agents).
– Over time, people are increasingly delegating genuinely long tasks to agents. For instance, prompts for tasks that take about 8 hours of human work now make up more than a quarter of requests. In comparison, in December, they were just over 2%.
Given this, the question arises: are people still vibecoding with agents, or are agents now vibecoding with people?
Why it matters
AnalysisThese statistics indicate that Codex agents are becoming essential tools for businesses, transforming the way long tasks are executed. This could signal a new era of automation in software development.
