OpenAI premieres "Cooking with Codex" — a Dot plans ramen in ChatGPT Space, GPT-Live guides the cooking
OpenAI's "Cooking with Codex: Ep. 1" puts a Dot to work planning a ramen recipe and organizing prep in ChatGPT Space while GPT-Live's full-duplex voice guides the cooking, and shows off new Codex CLI features including voice input, agent management, and forking conversations into separate worktrees.
What happened
OpenAI premiered "Cooking with Codex: Ep. 1" on its YouTube channel, a new demo series episode set around a cooking demonstration. Per the official video description, an OpenAI dot helps plan a ramen recipe and organize prep in ChatGPT Space, with GPT-Live guiding the cooking process. The episode also covers Codex cloud environments that keep tasks running after a laptop is closed, and new Codex CLI features including voice input, agent management, and forking conversations into separate worktrees. Guests Matthew and Brian from Forward Future join to build an 8-bit ramen game using Ultrafast and play it on a ModRetro, and the episode closes with a showcase of community projects from a retro space shooter to a racing game featuring hand-drawn horses.
Why it matters
The episode is OpenAI's first public demonstration of its voice model GPT-Live inside a Dots workflow, plus the first confirmation of new Codex CLI capabilities (voice input, agent management, worktree forking) landing outside formal release notes. It shows OpenAI marketing Dots as consumer-grade companions through entertainment formats, not just developer keynotes. Verified Oct 20, 2026.
