Per BuildFastWithAI's roundup, OpenAI acquired persistent-sandbox vendor Ona to keep Codex agent tasks alive for hours to days, attacking the durability lead Claude Code holds. The framing cites Claude Code at 40%+ of the AI coding market versus Codex around 21%. It's a single secondary source, so confirm against a primary announcement, but it fits the pattern exactly: the coding-agent fight has moved from "who writes better code" to "who can keep a long-horizon task alive and stateful." Durability is the new battleground, which is the same point Karpathy is making one paradigm up.
