šØOpenAI Persistent Agent - Aeon is almost here!
I dug into Codexās shipped code and found some more info about *Aeon*, OpenAIās rumored Grok Bot competitor -
⢠Model-selection fields: `aeonModelId` and `allowAeonDraftModelSelection`
⢠Name and appearance fields: `aeonDraftName` and `aeonDraftAppearance`
⢠Cloud-environment selection
⢠A dedicated `thread/startAeon` operation
⢠Aeon references tied directly to the āAgentsā sidebar
Iām assuming this is the groundwork for configurable agents inside Codex.
The community has reported Aeon references in ChatGPTās web and Android code, as well - including `aeonId` and `memberAeonIds`, alongside purported `aeon-core` instructions describing a āpersistent agentā coordinating cloud tasks and automations.
GPT-Astra helped build it, and a launch could happen Thursday or DevDay!
The code references are verified in the build I inspected, some paths remain disabled.
