OpenAI Codex Now Encrypts Prompts for Inference

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Hacker News ·

OpenAI's Codex has started encrypting user prompts and performing inference on ciphertext, enhancing privacy. The change, noted in a GitHub issue, means prompts are encrypted before processing. This move aims to protect sensitive code and data during AI-assisted development.

Meridian48 take
While encryption during inference is a privacy win, the real test will be whether it impacts latency or accuracy in practice.
