# How an astrophysicist uses Codex to help simulate black holes

# Claim

Discover how astrophysicist Chi-kwan Chan uses Codex to build black hole simulations, helping scientists study extreme physics and test Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

# Relevance

Appendix III, section four: enterprise deployment evidence

# Oracle Verdict

OpenAI is describing a frontier or production capability that pushes directly on the thesis. The important signal is not the marketing language; it is the widening set of tasks now being routed through model-driven execution rather than ordinary software or headcount.
