Fastest-Rising OpenAI Codex YouTube Educators (2026)

As of August 2026, the fastest-rising OpenAI Codex YouTube educators are led by AI Stack Engineer (+167.9% view growth) , then Pragati Kunwer | Claude Code , and Vibe Code Guild. Ranked by 30-day view-growth velocity (exact view counts, not rounded subscribers), this surfaces small, fast-growing OpenAI Codex creators before they break out. Updated weekly.

We rank by view-growth velocity — the percent change in a channel's total views over the last ~30 days, derived from build-time snapshots. We use views rather than subscriber counts because YouTube rounds subscriber numbers, which hides the real momentum of smaller channels.
