Codex bundles LibreOffice
OpenAI's Codex desktop app bundles 1.7GB of runtimes including full Python, Node.js, Poppler, git, and LibreOffice binaries.
Blogger Simon Willison found that the OpenAI Codex desktop app (since rebranded to ChatGPT) keeps about 1.7GB in a ~/.cache/codex-runtimes/codex-primary-runtime folder, including full Python and Node.js installations plus native binaries for Poppler, git, and the LibreOffice office suite. Bundled skills in the plugins directory instruct Codex on how to find and use these binaries. The observation highlights the heavyweight local runtime stack shipped with agentic coding tools.
