OpenAI Codex: Watch AI Create & Deploy Code!

Creator Magic • 8:53 • 9 segments

1 Executive Summary

The weekly update began with a focus on OpenAI’s latest Codex release, now fully integrated with ChatGPT Plus and available across all commercial and educational plans. Mike showcased the new capabilities, particularly benchmarking discussions and real‑world performance. He then introduced Warp, a command‑line helper that translates natural‑language requests into terminal commands using Claude 4 Sonnet for validation, and used it to install Codex globally. With Codex set up, the team moved on to a practical demo of building a wizard‑themed block‑breaking game. Using the GPT‑5 Codex medium model, the script automatically explored the file system, scaffolded an HTML, CSS, and JavaScript project, generated a to‑do list, and implemented gameplay mechanics, audio, and visual themes within minutes. The speaker highlighted how the $200/month plan turns Codex into a “full‑time senior developer,” noting its rapid completion and lack of redundancy.

Deployment was then demonstrated, starting with the creation of a personal access token in the Akamai account and the setup of a fresh workspace. The speaker outlined the plan to spin up a 1 GB Linode instance via API, deploy the game to an Ubuntu 24.04 server, and expose it publicly. The process involved iterative command execution, waiting for instance boot, and final deployment of game files. Engine X was installed on the server, permissions were set, and the game’s accessibility was verified through the server’s IP. Security concerns were acknowledged, prompting a plan to delete the API key and remove the server once the demo was complete.

Overall, the session demonstrated how Codex, powered by GPT‑5, can seamlessly work with natural‑language tools like Warp and cloud services such as Linode to streamline the entire development pipeline—from coding to deployment. The presenter expressed strong enthusiasm for the new AI capabilities, noting that similar approaches could soon be applied with Anthropic’s technology. The update concluded with an invitation for viewers to share their own deployment plans in the comments.

2 Key Takeaways

Codex is now integrated with ChatGPT Plus on all plans, allowing developers to use AI coding directly in the chat.

Warp, a terminal tool powered by Claude 4 Sonnet, converts natural‑language instructions into safe terminal commands.

GPT‑5 Codex can autonomously scaffold, code, and complete a full game project, acting like a “full‑time senior developer.”

The process demonstrates end‑to‑end deployment: create a Linode instance, upload files, configure Engine X, and expose the game online.

The workflow highlights security risks—API tokens and server credentials must be handled carefully to avoid unintended public exposure.

Summary

• The speaker is preparing to deploy a game and is checking their Akamai account.
• They create a personal access token with a one‑month expiry, granting read/write access to everything.
• The token is named “vibe test” and is generated via the API.
• After generation, the token is saved in the same file as the game they have just created.
• The speaker exits Warp, clears the screen, and starts with a fresh workspace.
• They confirm they are in the `Downloads/game` folder, which is convenient for accessing the project.

But now, as the final thing I want to do, can I deploy this somewhere? I've got my Akamai account loaded up, which of course is linode. And it allows me to create personal access tokens. So I can say, well, let's expire in one. Month and. Let's give read write access to, well, just about everything. We'll go ahead and call this vibe. Test and create. An API token. now that token has been generated, and I've actually saved it into the same file as the game that's just been created. Back in warp will exit out of. Codex now and clear the screen down. So we've got a fresh workspace. And you'll notice I'm in the. Downloads slash game. Folder, which. Is pretty handy.

Summary

• The speaker wants to deploy a game to a brand-new Linode using an API token.
• They plan to create a 1 GB instance (the smallest size) via the Linode API.
• After creating the instance, they intend to deploy the game so it’s publicly accessible.
• The API key is located in a file called “personal access token.txt.”
• The warp agent explains it will help create the node and deploy the game.
• It acknowledges the task is complex and will break it down into steps.
• Warp can read the access token, locate files that match the game directory, and proceed step‑by‑step.

Full Transcript

And now I'm going to see if I can get warp. To deploy my game to a brand new linode that it will create using the API token. I would like you to use the linode API to create a brand new node. One gigabyte, the smallest. One, please. And then I'd like you to deploy this game there and make it. Available for me to play on the internet. we'll say find API key and personal access token dot txt. And we'll hit. Enter. And let's see what happens okay. You can see warps agent says I'll help you create a linode node one gigabyte instance and deploy the game there. It's a complex task. So let me break it down into steps. Now again you can see warp works it gently. It can read my access token. It'll find files that match inside game. And it's going through step by step.

Summary

Summary (use • for each bullet point):

• The process examines code to create a node and set up a server environment.
• It deploys the application to a cloud server and runs tests to gather feedback.
• Commands fail and retry until a Linode instance is successfully created.
• The instance uses Ubuntu 24.04, a token for authentication, and a generated root password.
• An IP address and instance details are provided, showing the Linode in provisioning.
• The script waits until the Linode boots fully, then confirms the server is running.
• Finally, the game is deployed and accessible from the remote machine.

Full Transcript

It's going to examine the code create then the node, set up a server. Environment, deploy to the server. And test and provide me with that actual information. And then it's going to test and provide me with feedback. I cannot believe that this will actually work. Now what you'll see here is it's actually finding out how to. Create different nodes, and it's using the different commands when it fails. To try and create a linode, it's actually found that it can use ubuntu 24.04. It's spinning this up in my account and making a server available. Just look at this. It's running through using my token, failing sometimes with the token and making it work. Now it's generating a linode with a root password. This is insane. It's giving me the IP address. An instance of the linode it set up. It's in the status provisioning. Now it's noticed that it's still provisioning, so it's waiting a bit more. And if we actually look at. My account, we can see that it's actually booting up. And it's made a linode called steal it spell break a game. This is. Absolutely incredible. Okay. Now it's checking to see if it's all booted up. And it says perfect. The server is now running. Let me mark this to do is complete and proceed setting up the environment. So this is now working from my machine remotely accessing a server in the cloud and deploying my game for me.

Summary

• The system is installing and configuring Engine X on a server in Genex.
• It uploads all game files to the server and sets proper permissions.
• The deployment status is verified by checking the server’s IP; the game is confirmed to be accessible online.
• A summary of what’s available online is displayed.
• The user copies the IP address, opens a new browser tab, and sees the game running on that insecure IP.
• The game is now publicly accessible to anyone who visits the IP address.
• The user plans to remove the API key and delete the server because it poses a security risk.
• They acknowledge the potential of this setup but note that it isn’t routed through a custom domain.

Full Transcript

Now look at this warp is actually going ahead and installing and configuring engine X Okay. Now we can see the server is set up within Genex. Now it's going to upload the game files to the server. Okay. Now it's just uploaded all the game files. This is crazy. Now it says it's working on proper permissions. And it's sorting that all out. Now it's checking to see if that game is already accessible on the internet. By checking my server IP, it says the game is deployed and accessible. Now it tells me that it's complete. It's giving me a summary here of everything that's available online. This is pretty incredible. So let me go ahead and copy that IP. Head to a new browser window. Hit enter. And boom. My game is now online. At this rather insecure IP. But nonetheless I has done it all for me. And I can actually play this game on the internet now. Publicly available to anyone who hits that IP. Pretty crazy stuff indeed. I love this. Now, obviously I'm going to go ahead and get rid of that API key and delete that. Server because. Obviously it's a big security flaw. I haven't routed it to a custom domain or anything like. That, but you can see the possibilities.

Full Transcript

With OpenAI Codex, with a tool like warp that can basically work the terminal. For you. And with something like linode to host your vibe coded game, you really can make incredible stuff now. And there should be nothing that will stop you, because you can use your own natural language to say, please deploy this to a server. For me, it really is as simple as that. I have to say, I'm super impressed to get that in practical and actually use OpenAI's new Codex with GPT five powering it. I think it's awesome. Potentially even better than clawed code. So now anthropic, it's your move. Thank you so much for watching this weekly update. I hope you've enjoyed it and let me know what you'll be doing. With this in the comments down below! YouTube is showing a video on your. Screen now that you should. Watch next. Thanks!
