Hey everyone, check out this cool update from the build-small-hackathon!
So, the big question was how to actually use those OpenAI Codex vouchers? Turns out, trying to plug the Codex key into the Space was giving you trouble—access denied for the model voucher. The workaround? They told everyone to just use our own tokens for the challenge instead. Smart move by OpenAI, basically.
But here’s the real kicker: there’s a dedicated prize track for the OpenAI Codex Track with a sweet $10k cash prize plus ChatGPT Pro subscriptions! The twist is, Codex itself acts as the judge, scoring your entry based on how well you use it and the overall quality of your Space. To enter? You gotta build your Space using Codex as your coding agent, push the code to a public GitHub repo with Codex-attributed commits, and then drop that repo link in your Space README.
And get this—they actually accepted the voucher for the 'modal' challenge on the second try after confirmation! Good to see them sorting out the kinks.
Honestly, it makes sense to let the community figure out the token usage hurdle instead of bogging down everyone with a complex key activation system. It keeps the focus on the actual coding quality. Definitely worth diving into if you're looking for a new challenge.
