Azure OpenAI: GPT-5-Codex Availability?
Greetings everyone!
I just wanted to see if there's any word as to when/if https://openai.com/index/introducing-upgrades-to-codex/ will make it's way to the AI Foundry. It was released on September 15th, 2025, but I have no idea how long Azure tends to follow behind OpenAI's releases. It doesn't really seem like there's any source of information to view whenever new models drop as to what Azure is going to do with them, if any.
Any conversation around this would be helpful and appreciated, thanks!

I didn’t find any updates about that yet, but Azure generally integrates new OpenAI models promptly, in a structured update process. New versions undergo testing and are rolled out with a minimum of two weeks’ notice before becoming the default. These updates are often accompanied by auto-update options for deployments.
For example, GPT-5 was made available in Azure shortly after OpenAI’s initial release, as early as August 2025.
I think GPT-5-Codex may be introduced in an upcoming update, considering Azure’s close collaboration with OpenAI.
That's definitely some hope to hold onto then. Thanks so much for your reply and time!
