# OpenAI Launches Codex Cloud Environments for Persistent Tasks

The feature is rolling out to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise subscribers.

- Reusable environments preserve repositories, dependencies, scripts, and configuration settings across runs.
- Tasks run persistently in the cloud, allowing users to track progress and steer Codex from web and mobile devices with their computer closed.
- Business and Enterprise workspaces support sharing environments across entire teams.

## Why it matters

Developers using Codex can execute long-running coding agents remotely without maintaining a live local session or reconfiguring dependencies.
