Is Image Gen 2 considered part of Codex?

[EricGT]

Just found this example image from an OpenAI cookbook

https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/commit/bba26821fa2bce502503173d27c304278fa223d9

Even pointed it out to others needing to create such technical documents for a support site with AI bot.

While the image does not yet provide the level of quality or detail required for real-world cellular biology, it represents a step in the right direction. I also noticed the “Cellular Respiration at a Glance” image later in the list.

Are questions related to Image Gen 2 appropriate for this Codex repository? If not, is there a more suitable venue where OpenAI staff are likely to engage on such topics?

I would treat Image Gen 2 as separate from Codex.

This repository is mainly for Codex/Codex CLI and coding-agent workflows. A question is a good fit here if it is about Codex generating, editing, reviewing, or running code. A question about image generation model behavior, image quality, or the image API itself is probably better routed elsewhere.

For the example you linked:

• If the question is about the cookbook example code, the OpenAI Cookbook repository is the closest venue.
• If the question is about Image Gen API behavior or parameters, the OpenAI API / platform docs and support channels are a better fit.
• If the question is product feedback about model quality for diagrams or scientific/technical images, I would frame it as image-generation feedback rather than Codex feedback.

The overlap is only indirect: Codex can help write code that calls image-generation APIs, but Image Gen itself is not part of Codex.
