Codex for Open Source supports maintainers of critical open-source software. Selected maintainers receive:
- 6 months of ChatGPT Pro, which includes Codex for coding, triage, review and maintainer workflows
- API credits for pull request review, maintainer automation, release workflows and other core OSS work
- Conditional access to Codex Security for qualified repositories that need deeper security coverage
OpenAI looks for projects with meaningful usage, broad adoption or clear importance to the ecosystem, plus evidence of active maintenance by a primary or core maintainer. There are no fixed star or download thresholds; if your project doesn't neatly fit but matters to the ecosystem, apply and explain why. You can also nominate another maintainer.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and selected applicants are notified by email.
