According to Kevin Kern on Twitter, Codex now offers an experimental setting that enables background terminals, allowing long-running processes such as development servers or continuous logging to operate without blocking user activity (source: https://x.com/kevinkern/status/2003118604808786086). This update is designed to improve productivity for AI developers by letting them continue coding or debugging while resource-intensive tasks run in the background. The feature addresses a common pain point in AI development environments, particularly for teams managing complex model training, deployment, or real-time data processing, and opens new business opportunities for AI workflow optimization tools (source: https://twitter.com/gdb/status/2003189401472639199).
