Latent Space highlighted reported internal OpenAI figures showing a steep rise in Codex output tokens across several company functions since November 2025. The largest named increases include research and customer support, with engineering and legal also up substantially.
The data point is interesting because it frames code-agent adoption as an organizational pattern, not just a developer productivity story. If Codex-style systems are producing more output in support, legal, and research, the tool is moving into workflows that mix code, analysis, and operations.
The report should be read as one signal rather than a full productivity study, but it adds to the evidence that agentic coding tools are becoming general-purpose work infrastructure inside AI companies.
