OpenAI adds security scans, Decisions API and Ultrafast

At DevDay 2026 in San Francisco, OpenAI expanded Codex, added Computer Use and a Decisions API to its agent stack, and introduced an Ultrafast tier with higher pricing.

THE-DECODER

OpenAI announced the changes at its DevDay 2026 developer conference in San Francisco. The update covered Codex, the Agents API and a new Ultrafast tier.

Codex gained reusable cloud environments, a voice-driven command line and a code review view in the ChatGPT desktop app. OpenAI also said the cloud version was available on several paid and education plans.

Codex Security Cloud was aimed at security teams and could scan GitHub repositories on demand or on a schedule. It also kept checking new commits, filtered duplicates and prepared fixes in the cloud; users of the cloud version could access Daybreak Blue without separate approval.

The Agents API added Computer Use, and OpenAI said it also included Codex multi-agent features, Tool Search and Context Compaction. OpenAI said AWS's Bedrock Managed Agents now covered the core Agents API features and connected directly to AWS resources.

OpenAI introduced a Decisions API built on GPT-6 Luna for classification, routing and next-step decisions. Ultrafast was offered for GPT-6 Astra, at six times the standard rate, for Enterprise customers and Pro 500 subscribers.
