OpenAI to retire Codex Spark next week after seven months
OpenAI will retire GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark next week, according to Tibo Sottiaux, the company’s head of core products. He said usage of the model had been falling and that OpenAI now has clearly better models available. Spark launched in February as a smaller, faster version of GPT-5.3-Codex. It was also described as OpenAI’s first model built specifically for real-time coding. The model ran on Cerebras chips, delivered generation speeds of more than 1,000 tokens per second, and was available only to ChatGPT Pro users. The move will end a product that had been on the market for about seven months.
