OpenAI says Codex Ultrafast sped internal incident investigations
Original title: How Ultrafast cut incident investigation from hours to minutes at OpenAI
Staff say security data reviews fell from one or two hours to about 10 to 15 minutes.
OpenAI described internal use of Ultrafast, a high-speed mode in Codex, during incident response. Engineers say they point Codex at Slack incident channels to search logs and related messages while an issue is unfolding. Staff also describe using it for daily planning, refactors, and browser form filling. The account is anecdotal and does not report a security incident or a public product change.
Unconfirmed: The time savings are staff anecdotes, not a published benchmark or measured study.
- Aaron Friel says Ultrafast searches several possible failure paths during an incident.
- AJ Trbojevic says security reviews now take 10 to 15 minutes, sometimes near real time.
- Jeff Niu says most answers now return in under 30 seconds.
- Adam Perry keeps a running Codex thread he calls a chief of staff.
