Indeed, OpenAI and Anthropic had originally planned to release their two agentic coding tools at the exact same time: 10 a.m. PST. However, not long before the original release time, Anthropic moved its release date up by 15 minutes, slightly besting OpenAI in the race to publicize the models.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: RhinoEasy News<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Brief On Monday, OpenAI launched Codex, an agentic coding tool marketed to software developers.
