OpenAI has released Symphony, an open-source specification and Elixir implementation for orchestrating Codex agents. This system enables the creation of agent-based systems that can manage large codebases with minimal human intervention, aiming to significantly boost engineering productivity. The Frontier team at OpenAI has utilized Symphony to develop internal products, managing over a million lines of code with agents performing tasks and merging code without direct human review, by focusing on agent legibility and providing necessary context and structure.
