OpenAI's Vaibhav Srivastav says Codex weekly active users are up 20 times since January, with nearly 70% using the desktop app, in a post opening OpenAI's DevDay Exchange in Berlin.

He also says Germany is now top five globally for active API developers and that one in five desktop users use Codex skills for documents, slides and spreadsheets.

At the DevDay Exchange in France on October 28, Srivastav posted a newer figure: weekly active Codex users are up more than 14 times since the start of 2026, and ChatGPT Business seats are up nearly 70% over the past year. He says France ranks in the global top 10 for active OpenAI API developers. The Berlin figure of 20 times and the France figure of 14 times are both company claims with different baselines, and no supporting data has been published for either.
