The update
OpenAI's coding assistant, Codex, has officially launched a pet mode feature, offering users a unique desktop interaction experience. This mode allows users to raise a virtual "cyber desk pet" on their computer desktop. By simply entering the slash-pet command in the interface, users can awaken this electronic pet at any time. Once awakened, the pet reflects Codex's current work status in real time, including stages such as running, waiting for input, or ready for review, while providing corresponding progress hints. This means developers can intuitively grasp work progress by observing the desktop pet without frequently switching or opening application windows. Additionally, users can utilize the hatch-pet skill to customize exclusive pet images according to their preferences, enhancing the fun and personalization of the usage experience.
