    By the way, I built the Tab Search feature in Atlas in a few hours by using Codex. Codex spent < 30min on the initial proof of concept, with the remaining time spent iterating with it polishing/bug-fixing.

    Codex is unreal. It allows me, the team manager, to ship features like anyone else. Our PMs use it. Our designers use it. Everyone ships code on our team.

    ChatGPT Atlas builds on Chromium in a unique way to deliver on our ambitious product goals - enabling a fast, responsive browser with agent DNA. Read more about how we did this in a new engineering blog post by Ken Rockot & I.

    I've seen a few threads lamenting Atlas as "just another Chromium wrapper". Well we think it's a pretty unique Chromium wrapper 😅(more on that soon), but I also wanted to address our choice of Chromium... 🧵
