API & dev

OpenAI reports stronger GPT-6 performance on legacy programming languages

OpenAI says its latest models improve support for COBOL, Fortran and Visual Basic. GPT-6 Astra achieved an 87.4% test pass rate across 20 languages on MultiLangBench; GPT-6.1 Sol reached up to 97.9% accuracy on COBOL migration.

Why it matters: These results suggest greater potential for modernizing legacy business software, though benchmark performance does not establish reliability on production systems.

API & dev

OpenAI highlights Codex terminal voice and conversation branching

OpenAI’s developer update highlights talking to Codex in the terminal, tracking agents and forking conversations into separate worktrees. It also describes cloud environments where tasks continue after users close their laptops.

Why it matters: These capabilities support parallel development workflows and let developers continue cloud tasks without keeping a local session open.
