OpenAI's experiment had a 3-person team create a million-line code product in 5 months using Codex AI agent. No human code was written; engineers focused on defining requirements and rules. AI handled all development tasks.
Key Points
- 1.3-person human team
- 2.5-month timeline
- 3.1 million lines of code
- 4.Zero human-written code
- 5.AI agent-driven process
Impact Analysis
Highlights AI's potential to transform software engineering, reducing human coding needs and accelerating development. Could shift industry toward AI-orchestrated teams.
Technical Details
Codex intelligent agent executed all coding based on human-specified goals and rules. Experiment inverted traditional engineering workflows.
