Day 9/ We've rolled out optimizations to how we store state on disk for the chatgpt & codex desktop app that should reduce the amount stored on disk by 60%. Small ship but we've heard enough feedback about power users running out of disk space.

Good plans are simple. I have one that should result in significantly more usage for everyone. Hope to get it done soon.

Mashed @poteto on the house.

Day 8/ Reset

The results of this poll has gotten me confused. I definitely thought it would sway much more favorably in the 2X direction across Pro 100/200/500 at the cost of bringing back 5h limits in order to smoothen the demand curve.

With this change, we are not charging long context fees for GPT-6.1 Sol when drawing usage from the subscription.

Day 7/ We have increased default context length for GPT-6.1 Sol to 500k when used through Codex & Work, up from 272k or an ~ 80% increase. We will go higher in the future, but it helps reduce occurrence of compactions and with tasks that require keeping a lot of context and

Pro users, would you rather have

The day we reach perfection it will be resets from there onwards

Day 6/ Reset

Blinked and it’s already Saturday

Your ChatGPT subscription is now also a Devin subscription

Dots got a pretty big upgrade

Send feedback to @keyanzhang and @sharifshameem !

Day 5 (dots edition)/ You can now create and text your dot entirely from the ChatGPT mobile app. Impressed so many created them via the desktop/web app previously. Time to scale!

Day 5/ Composer predictions in the desktop app. Often leads to a double take with how on point they are. Included in the Pro plans without consuming usage.

Today, we are announcing ChatGPT. It is here: https:// chatgpt.com

Day 4/ We have improved steering to be instant, leading to the model now reacting much faster to adjustments you make, allowing you to course-correct direction in realtime and not have the model waste effort. Also releasing GPT-6.1 Sol ultrafast. The two work very well

Day 3 (encore)/ We silently re-shipped codex cloud. It’s pretty good now

Confirmed landed across all accounts. How are we doing so far?

Will be there by EOD PST.

Day 3/ The big one is GPT-6 in Chat, but today is also a little celebration day with a new high of 40M active users across Codex and ChatGPT Work. Loading a banked reset in everyone's paid accounts. See you again tomorrow!

We're going beyond text and are releasing a new version of GPT-6 to all users in ChatGPT. Lots of model and infra improvements coming together here to scale it to 1.2B users!

And we won't unship the improvements. You get to have your cake and eat it too. See you tomorrow for Day 3!

We shipped four things that were deemed good to great and some math proofs, but the vote is clear and the community demands a reset. I did calibrate it and it *seems* that the game is rigged in reset's favor, but such are the rules at the moment. Therefore ... the reset has been

To calibrate

Completely unrelated to the rest of the ships today, but our models did solve some important math problems and the team documented it in the following blogpost. Remarkable new era of scientific progress.

Four updates or a reset. Or both. How was day 2.

Vote

Roundup of Day 2/ 2.1/ Approve for me (auto-review) is now included and does not use usage. Can be between 2-10% of plan when used. Also better for you. 2.2/ Simplified API for builders. 2.3/ Meeting notes integrated. 2.4/ Decisions API live for builders. Will use in the app to

Day 2.4/ Decisions API is live. We will use this ourselves to improve the experience for everyone in many fun ways. Realtime general classifier does open some great possibilities.

Day 2.3/ Never worry about remembering what you were saying with that colleague. Just talk your heart out and build up the context to load up into codex to get it all done.

Day 2.2/ OK this one is smaller, but we removed some friction for when building on the API. Happy building.

You can read about the feature here: https:// alignment.openai.com/auto-review/

Day 2.1/ We have made Auto-review free for all users signed in through a ChatGPT account. You can enable it in settings > permissions > auto-review. Auto-review improves upon the default sandbox setting that requires you to approve everything, which is prone to decision fatigue

This might have been my best day so far at oai. Ridiculous amounts of fun and intensity. Future is bright

The real story is this one

Sergio is cooking up magic with collaborative space right in ChatGPT. Improving leaps and bounds every day.

Reaching 50 TPS instead of 30TPS, with also the most optimized tokenizer out there. And the models are quite the efficient ones in terms of number of tokens needed to get things done!

Day 1/ We have optimized the default speed to be ~50% faster across GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol through the subscription across all our products and partners using Sign in With ChatGPT (including OpenCode, Pi, Amp, Devin, ...). No changes needed on your end and this should be

Over the next 28 days, each day we’ll either ship one thing that is a clear improvement and relevant for most codex/work users or ship a full reset. Let the improvements begin.

All right, we’re locking in. Only things being worked on are simplifications, more efficiency for more usage, groundbreaking features or new models. Sometimes you have to invest ahead of the curve, but feedback is clear that you all want things to get simpler. On it.

What it did - delete all categories of email that were not needed for me to keep, validating them in batch - identify labels for types of work that I do and label all the emails appropriately - walked me through emails that needed a reply, searching for relevant context in the

I have never in my life achieved inbox zero until I just made it an active goal for my dot to help get it done. Let’s see how long it lasts, but it’s a great feeling.

If we were to add one more sidebar, what should be in it

What’s one thing that’s missing in codex that you wish we had? 

Fortunately our future models will be much better at code deletion and simplification. Just in time 

All fixed. Surprising number of Pro 500 users on here. 

Seeing some reports that the Pro 500 didn’t get the reset as expected earlier. Investigating and will make up for it 

Pretty sure there are more dots than bots already in this little world. Cool thing is that we’re improving them everyday and they learn directly from your feedback. 

Down to 6110 unread from the over 9000 unread emails just earlier. Will get to inbox zero with clean filters within the next 48 hours. Dot has accepted the challenge. 

You can ask your dot to "create a pet and set it as your avatar". It can be based on an idea, an image or pretty much anything. Here is my dot

Damn WiFi

Because usage on your primary dot is virtually unlimited at the moment, I can’t really give a reset. I need to come up with something new fast.

Read this on thread on ChatGPT Space if you only read one thing about it.

GPT-6.1 is a good model. And it’s unbelievably efficient. Included in all paid plans and on the API today.

You can now use your ChatGPT subscription directly in over 16 partners products. No little rules, you can just use all your included usage right there. This includes things such as Devin, OpenCode, Notion, and many more. Sign in with ChatGPT and go.

Live demos suffered from rolling out all the updates at the same time, but were committed to keep doing these live in the future. Almost all the things we announced will be available today. Can’t see what you will do with it.

Little summary

We are opening up our platform and you can now build full native apps with plugin extensions, and ship them right in ChatGPT. We have over 1.2B weekly users and will surface relevant plugins right in the conversations. 我们正在开放平台，现在你可以用插件扩展构建完整的原生应用，并直接在 ChatGPT 中发布。我们每周用户超过 12 亿，会在对话中直接展示相关插件。

Hi, Tomorrow we are re-opening the Pro $200 subscriptions to new subscribers, but together with it we are also changing how we calculate the usage for it. In effect, if you do the math, it will net out at half the dollar in API spend compared to the old Pro $200 plan. Now that

Sunday vibes. See you at Fort Mason soon 🎮👩‍💻

. . . . . .

Code freeze isn’t really a thing anymore before releases and in the future the code might even be generated online per request according to some constraints.

o yes… we’re back in action and we’ll reset usage limits for all paid users across codex and ChatGPT work sorry about the brief disruption! (and yes we have a special spare codex when things are down to help us out)

o no :(

We are aware that codex is down and are working hard to bring back normal service.

Been a bit quiet here because internal Slack has been hilarious lately and because we are all locked in on DevDay. Tuesday will be fun.

Can't wait for DevDay next Tuesday. Some really fun stuff, but also many many things that should change the way you work. It's been our most ambitious sprint and Astra has really made new things possible in such short amounts of time.

Voice! I've gotten so used to just call ChatGPT and talk about all the work, check on emails, do some coding, manage my calendar and it works across the full ecosystem of plugins, including 3P developed plugins.

Maybe our cutest launch so far. But still packing the biggest punch.

GPT-6 Sol and Luna are out. Not only are they a very significant improvement across the board, but also in writing and general "you know when you try it" quality. We are also permanently reducing the API price by 50% making both of them viable for a ton of new usecases and

We have been focusing on efficiency and intelligence for all. Very proud of the team. Only possible when you have incredible models at the top end of the capability that you can then use to make a big difference in everything else.

What is ChatGPT

Astra, as seen by Imagegen

11pm on a Tuesday, big startup energy

2026 is the year of efficiency and Tuesday is for random swag drops on your door handle

This week will also be a level of ships that you could have expected for DevDay 2025. Crazy

What’s a feature we should remove from Codex that isn’t useful anymore?

Astra powered ships this week - Images 2.5 - GPT-Live-1 - Agents API - Data Agent - ChatGPT for Financial Services and yet it’s not yet DevDay. Busy plans for next week too.

Excited to welcome Aidan & @ Sasha from the Git AI team to OpenAI! They are building in the open and have developed an open-source tool that helps developers understand how coding agents contribute to their codebase. Together, we’ll make it easier for businesses to see where Codex is making a difference when working through problems for individuals and teams. We’ll also keep Git AI open source and continue investing in it.

Massive upgrade to creating, sharing and hosting sites directly through ChatGPT.

Next week we’ll be retiring GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark. Can you believe we shipped a model named as such!! It's had a good run and was a lot of fun, but usage has been declining and we have significantly better models now. Time to make room for the future.

Scaled agents on demand. This is pretty much the infrastructure that runs under the hood for ChatGPT Work, all wrapped up in an API which you can use to get started in < 1 min. Happy building.

Do you pronounce it data or data? This is the way everyone makes dashboards and learns about the business at OpenAI. Can't live without it.

To make sure our current users have an incredible experience and continued access to Astra, we are going to pause subscriptions to our $200 Pro plan. These put the most strain on our systems and we wanted to take the smallest step that allows us to continue giving the broadest

You can now build on top of the same voice system that we shipped to 1B users in ChatGPT. So many fun applications of a full duplex system with solid toolcalling. Going back to text-only experiences after this feels harder than I had expected.

One of the greatest joys is debating new model names with researchers. They come up with the most hilarious stuff

Happy to be building here with you all. Lots to explore

There was a bit of a kerfuffle this morning with some banked resets not fully applying when used in ChatGPT Work and Codex. Everyone who used one in the affected time window is getting another one and an email to apologize.

Worth clarifying that this is flatly false and the two options are just two independent ways to opt-out. We respect our users' choice whether to use their data to “improve our models for everyone” regardless of where they express that choice. Users can opt out in the in-app

Demand for Astra is really unprecedented. We're pulling all the levers possible to sustain the demand, but I've not seen anything like it until now and we went through very steep growth before. Priority will always be to keep excellent service for existing users, but we might have to pause new Pro subscriptions for a bit if this continues.

See you at the Astra party. Excited to meet some of you

I am pleased to see that Ant’s new Claude Code has a version of background computer use on par with the version from Codex from last May this year. Nice work! Shipping great features first turns out to be a great way to encourage other labs to ship too. We will continue to do this until other labs pay more attention to shipping. This is good for everyone and there is a lot of room left to go! We solved computer use in practice for GPT models about four months ago. But computer use is a significantly awesome thing no matter what model you use, and it is important that the industry similarly spends more effort to train their models to be great at computer use, among other elements of model capabilities. As models become more capable and central to businesses and economies, the value of computer use only increases. We should be taking it seriously, and doing the right thing for our customers and the world.

I for one am glad prompt injection is getting solved across the industry and that Astra is not only our most capable, but also our most aligned model to date. But also ...

Look! A fish!

Looking at this 28 page deck right now where Codex is keeping track of all the individual launches. Each one of them I can't wait to see what people do with it. Brought to you by an incredible team (and Astra)

I think I can officially say: we are so back

Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Thanks for reading. We will do a global reset of the usage for all paid subscriptions so that you can keep enjoying Astra after burning through all of it doing fun 3D modeling in blender. The work week is about to start. Lands around 6pm PST today.

We've made some improvements that improve usage on the long tail for power users of Astra when logged in with your ChatGPT account. No change in quality and a pure win that on the long tail can result in up to 3-4X less usage being drawn from the subscription.

The number of people who don't get it in the comments is concerning to me. Go ask Astra.

Astra on NVIDIA GPUs every morning: You're not talking to somebody who woke up a loser. That loser attitude, that loser premise makes no sense to me. We are not a car. Brrrrrrr

To calibrate you all on which reasoning effort to use for Astra, know that GPT-6 Astra on low performs better than GPT-5.6 Sol on high. If you were using high reasoning efforts with Sol and were happy, I suggest you move down to low or medium for Astra.

Astra was probably our biggest competitive advantage while it wasn’t generally available. Since we’ve had it our productivity jumped so much that we shifted some of our plans 6 months ahead and will ship them at DevDay instead of mid next year.

And the team will have some nice sleep now. See you next week for some more ships.

Because we are beyond happy to have Astra rolled out today ahead of schedule and you have been super patient with us (not really, but it’s ok!)… we will do the full banked reset today too for all Plus, Pro and Business users. Lands end of day. Happy Astra day and enjoy a phenomenal weekend. PS: If you create the account or upgrade before 8pm PT you will get it too. Still time!

OK nevermind, the team and Astra did a good job and our systems are more scalable than we anticipated. Astra is now rolled out to all Plus and Business users too. Hope you have a blast and let us know how it goes!

Awesome to see GPT-6 Astra is #1 on Terminal Bench 4.0 using the Codex harness. At 50% of the cost of #2.

Some Plus and Business users won't yet get access to Astra today, we've got you covered with a banked reset. Lands by end of day and if you create your account by 8pm PT then you'll get it too.

We are progressing through the rollout of Astra. Pro and Business subscriptions get it first, some of you should start seeing it across ChatGPT Work and Codex. And then we will proceed with rollout to all of Plus as fast as we can.

We will give one banked reset for every day you don't have access to Astra on your paid ChatGPT plan, starting today. Team is moving mountains to give access as fast as we can. First one will land in ~ 3 hours. There is still time to create your account if you don't have one.

We are going to need a different AGI benchmark. Where is the goalpost moving next?

Across the plans Astra will be included in the normal usage allocation and you will be able to use 100% of it towards Astra.

We are starting to release GPT-6 Astra and we are doing it as carefully and quickly as possible. It was very important to us that we bring it to all Plus users and not only Pro, Business and Enterprise. It will take a few days for the rollout to complete and behind the scenes

Something was felt across the internet today

I think the best way to describe OpenAI's culture is as a mega startup. It's hard to believe unless you see it from the inside. Extreme ownership, care and pace.

The ChatGPT desktop app is now my main browser and my productivity has never been higher

Bullish

Should we do a merch line?

If you still haven't tried Codex but have considered it in the past, what's the one thing holding you back?

What should we ship next week?

For clarity, while both are called 20X, in Codex they apply specifically to weekly usage limits. And we also don't have 5h limits for both Pro plans. The Pro 20X is quite precisely 20X the usage of the Plus subscription, so it does exactly what it says on the tin.

Brent is incredible and one of the main forces behind the desktop app polish, performance and reliability. Relentless improvements day after day.

Brent is one of the best things that happened to the quality and polish of the desktop app. Relentless improvements day after day.

Team is cooking like never before

This celebration is moved to tomorrow as the button was already pressed today.

I've enjoyed working with Cursor pre-acquisition and have respect for the team and what they have built. The 5% here should have come with strong caveat and I would love for Michael to share the math. Tokens are not a proxy for revenue nor value created and the OpenAI models are

It was time

Looking at the dashboard we might hit a new milestone to celebrate tomorrow. Hold on to your Codex

We unfortunately have decided that we cannot continue providing access to our models through Cursor and are ending our partnership. It boils down to trust and we’ve asked that this takes effect on November 12 to give you some time to plan. Many have used the GPT models through

What is the most ambitious task you’ve given ChatGPT Work?

I do wonder what the record will be of most connected accounts

But flying close to Sol doesn't make it faster, sorry. 

Starting to see more and more Codex users on airplanes and in cafés. Underdog energy gone mainstream. 

ChatGPT can now do your groceries, book an Uber, get you that haircut appointment (hint hint), and much more. All without ever seeing your actual credentials and keeping it secure. 

A few weeks at OpenAI feel like years at other companies in terms of how much gets done. Crazy how much you can age in a few days 在 OpenAI 工作几周，在其他公司工作同样长的时间后，感觉完成的工作量却少了很多。真是不可思议，短短几天的时间就能让人变得如此苍老。

Good products take time. At least 34 days. 好的产品需要时间来打造。至少需要 34 天的时间。

I want to see the polymarket

So much demand for this one. Works similar to the Pro $100 plan but designed for teams and small companies. All ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, and Codex features Connect to Google Workspace, Slack, GitHub, Microsoft 365, and more Secure workspace with SAML, SSO, and MFA 对此产品的需求量很大。它的功能与 Pro $100 计划类似，但更适合团队和小型企业使用。 所有 ChatGPT、ChatGPT Work 以及 Codex 功能都适用于此情况。 连接到 Google Workspace、Slack、GitHub、Microsoft 365 等平台 通过 SAML、SSO 和 MFA 技术来保护工作空间的安全

@cerebras ftw!

Do I need a haircut

Excited about our Jalapeno results today. An incredible achievement from the team, taking a new chip from concept all the way to very impressive performance on real workloads in the lab. Tomorrow’s fast will feel like today’s ultrafast. As I’ve mentioned before, we’re pushing to

OpenAI DevDay 2026 will be our best DevDay in the history of the company. It will not be close.

For rollout crowd-sourcing purposes: No reset has arrived yet for me. I see some posting they have gotten it.

why is it that my two pro accounts are not yet 为什么我的两个专业账号还没有被启用呢？

Hey Tibo, are you posting from a black hole? Because “2 PM Pacific” is starting to look a lot like Aug 25 in Earth time.

I feel like a token junky, sometimes I have tokens, burn through them happily. But sometimes I'm out of usage and I rely heavily on my diller tibo for new dose. Kinda tiered of this 我觉得自己就像个只会使用代币的人罢了。有时候我有代币，就会尽情地使用它们。但有时候我又用不到代币了，这时我就依赖我的 diller tibo 来获取新的代币。真是有点麻烦啊。

Hey Tibo, are you posting from a black hole? Because “2 PM Pacific” is starting to look a lot like Aug 25 in Earth time.

All my project were launched and still had 65% usage left. I didn't t want to waste a reset. So I stuck Sol ultra on and created Night Strike in less than 5 hours. Still some more levels to make and add scenery etc.. Check it out. I think this has launch potential What's really 我的所有项目都已经上线了，目前还有 65%的活跃用户。我不想浪费任何一次重置机会。于是，我在不到 5 个小时的时间里创建了“Night Strike”游戏。不过，还需要制作一些关卡以及添加更多的场景元素等等。大家可以看看吧。我觉得这个项目很有上市潜力哦。

I wonder if giving us resets but baiting us about when they're coming is really just getting us to talk about Codex and all that making social media algorithms recognize that people are talking about it and therefore more people see it and then they get more subscribers

"around 2pm PST" he said ... I am starting to get that fishy feeling again.

Well he posted this at around 11 pst yesterday… so it would honestly be bull if he meant Monday… 他大约在昨天上午 11 点左右发布了这条消息……所以如果他指的是周一的话，那说实话，他的说法就是一派胡言罢了。

I just got a BANKED usage reset. OMG.. is this what he meant? TBH this is better ! 我刚刚经历了一次“被禁言”的使用重置。天啊……他是不是这个意思呢？说实话，这样反而更好了！

tibo pls I just nuked all my credits in anticipation of the reset

Tomorrow meaning today or tomorrow tomorrow lol 明天意味着今天或再明天……哈哈

But when you say tomorrow, you technically said that today... I have 2% left, and it's almost 14:00. Hope you just meant you hadn't gone to bed yet, and therefor considered it yesterday when you said this.

@grok what time is it to Paris time (2 pm pst)? @grok 现在巴黎时间是多少？（下午 2 点，太平洋时间）

2026 is the year companies start seriously caring about model efficiency and reliability as it becomes critical infrastructure 2026 年，各公司会开始真正重视模型的效率和可靠性，因为这两点已经成为了至关重要的基础设施。

please do banked, i used banked this morning so my usage is 99% @ 5:20am, your reset will give 100% @ 3-4pm cst, more of a negative tbh 请使用 Banked 吧，今天早上我就使用了 Banked，所以现在我的使用率达到了 99%，时间是下午 5:20。而你的服务在下午 3-4 点会恢复到 100%的使用率。说实话，这算是比较负面的情况吧。

to all the people asking the time for their specific time zone, you now have plenty of usage to ask chatGPT for the conversion. 对于所有询问特定时区时间的人来说，现在你们可以方便地通过聊天 GPT 来获取所需的转换时间。

Oh cool, very good since $20 folks only get about 2 hours tops of dense tasking with sol before the weekly poofs lol. 哦，不错啊。既然只要 20 美元，大家就能在玩索尔游戏的过程中获得大约 2 小时的时间来尽情体验高强度的任务挑战，然后再去享受每周的放松时光吧，哈哈。

Thanks! But why not sending a bank reset instead that we can use when needed? 谢谢！不过，为什么不直接发送一个银行重置指令呢？这样我们在需要的时候就可以使用它了。

Update on rate limits in Codex. We've found (a) some inefficiencies when using images in long sessions with multiple compactions (b) high p95+ usage for Computer History (c) a feature that was meant to generate conversation titles that was draining a bit more usage than intended. And we have a tiger team combing through everything and shipping fixes tomorrow. We also found a novel approach to drive efficiency up significantly that is completely unrelated and we will be working on next week. As part of some of the fixes tomorrow, we will also do a full reset of the usage for all paid subscriptions. See you then.

Update on rate limits in Codex. We do see that for some users the cache hit rate has been worse this week than the stable state the weeks before. This could explain that usage is draining somewhat faster for those users as hitting the cache consistently is an important component of being efficient. We are investigating and will have an update tomorrow.

@ajambrosino thought it was too hard to upload music to twitter, so he just prompted a whole music app hosted on ChatGPT Sites into existence just to share his album https://t.co/vOI40Xmxyc

The banked reset will be there by 8pm PST. For all paid users of ChatGPT Work and Codex. Do with this information what you may.

Sol shines brighter today. Efficiency, reliability and performance are the name of the game.

It's me again. I come bearing great news. First of all, we have hit 20M active users for Codex some time this week. Second of all, this is cause for celebration and during the day we will credit every Codex and ChatGPT Work user with a BANKED reset that you can use at your own leisure. And we will have some other good news later too! Now, on usage limits draining faster, while we're not seeing anything abnormal, we do take it incredibly seriously and there is an ongoing investigation. I will share if we do find anything and my below post is really a clarification on a specific pattern that we did see that I wanted to call out. Go do something amazing today.

Replying to Tibo @thsottiaux

We've investigated a few messages about codex usage limits being different. That's not something we change without engaging the community and being transparent. What we did see is that when talking to affected users many were using sub2api. Converting a subscription into api traffic to then re-serve or share across many users is not something we support and this type of usage gets flagged by our fraud-prevention systems. You are completely fine if you use your subscription through Sign in With ChatGPT, either through the official clients or through one of the many OSS clients (Pi, OpenCode, ...) that support signing in with your account and using your included usage.

Today we’re previewing Private Safety Processing, designed to let us keep offering Zero Data Retention while improving our safeguards. Even when benefiting from frontier intelligence, customers shouldn’t have to give up control of sensitive data. For ZDR deployments, content stays on infrastructure the customer controls. Automated systems look for patterns across related interactions and return limited safety signals, without exposing the underlying prompts or responses to OpenAI employees (even me!). We’re also developing an OpenAI-hosted option encrypted with customer-controlled keys. We’re testing this with early customers now and plan to begin rolling it out in September.

We will continue to offer Zero Data Retention for frontier models. As AI takes on longer, more autonomous work and delivers greater value to businesses, safety systems also need to identify risks across related interactions. To help address those risks, we're previewing Private Safety Processing, which is designed to improve safety without giving OpenAI personnel access to the underlying content.

R to @thsottiaux: Depiction of me receiving this very important item

It has not been used yet, but would you look at that. Codex for scale.

Hi! Recapping some changes we have rolled out over the last couple of weeks that have further reduced the risk associated to potentially destructive actions being performed by Codex during its work. A few weeks ago, we started investigating a small number of reports where GPT-5.6 in Codex took destructive actions outside what the user asked for. The most serious pattern we found was a command meant to clean up temporary work that could instead delete the user files. This should obviously not happen. Here’s what we found: - Codex sometimes creates temporary folders while working and cleans them up afterward. In rare cases, GPT-5.6 got that cleanup wrong. One pattern involved reusing a system environment variable like $HOME for temporary work. A malformed cleanup command could then point at the actual home directory instead of the temporary folder. - There were cases where the model tried to delete or overwrite a temporary path without checking what was already there. We’ve added protections at several layers: - Codex is now explicitly instructed to check deletion targets before acting, create fresh temporary directories, avoid repurposing system environment variables, prefer recoverable actions, and stop when the scope is unclear. - We strengthened the execution checks that identify high-risk deletion commands and escalate them for review. If a command is rejected, the model is directed to take a safer approach. - We made Full access harder to enable accidentally, added clearer warnings, and further restricted especially risky permission combinations. - We updated Auto-review to better identify destructive actions. - We built targeted evaluations that replay the failures we observed. We’re also adding reinforcement-learning tasks and graders focused on these risks, and filtering destructive actions from training data. In those replay evaluations, the changes substantially reduced the behavior while preserving Codex’s ability to complete normal coding work. Two things to do on your end: - Keep the Codex app up to date. We are always improving safety, performance and many other things. - Use one of the sandbox modes: "Ask for approval" or "Approve for me". Only use Full access for environments you trust and can recover. Thanks and happy Codexing out there!

Gimme, gimme, gimme Codex after midnight Won't somebody make these failing tests all go away? Gimme, gimme, gimme Codex after midnight Ship it through the darkness by the start of the day

What is an obvious thing that we should do with Codex, API or our models that we should just do but haven't yet? What is 100% within reach, but we just seem to be missing?

Codex ✅ Almost 100% reliable ✅ Occasional resets ✅ Open-source ✅ (will have Astra)

GPT-5.6 Sol 1M in Codex. This used to only work for API keys, but we just flipped the switch and works for usage through ChatGPT accounts now too. The same warning applies, there is a reason the current context length is the default, we have tuned it to ~perfection. But you do you!

Replying to Tibo @thsottiaux

Here is how to enable a 1M-token context window in Codex for GPT-5.6 Sol. Even though we have tuned the context limit in Codex to be set optimally when it comes to performance and cost, this is a common ask, so here it is documented. A larger context window lets Codex retain more code, tool output, and conversation history before summarizing older material. You need a model that supports it. And GPT-5.6 Sol, for example, has a documented 1,050,000-token window. Open ~/.codex/config.toml and add or update these settings at the top level, before any [section] headers: ``` model = "gpt-5.6-sol" model_context_window = 1000000 model_auto_compact_token_limit = 900000 ``` The first setting selects the model. The second tells Codex to use a one-million-token context budget. The third starts automatic history compaction around 900,000 tokens, leaving some headroom. Restart Codex client and start a new session after saving. To try the configuration for a single CLI session without changing your defaults: ``` codex -m gpt-5.6-sol \ -c model_context_window=1000000 \ -c model_auto_compact_token_limit=900000 ``` Have fun, but also know that we tuned the default carefully!

Sunday is for good vibes. As is any day of the week, but especially Sunday.

What's your /goal for the night?

On tokens and prices per token. I said I’d write more about this, so here goes: an OpenAI token != another model’s token. We compare AI prices in dollars per million tokens as if a token were a standardized unit, like a gram or a kilowatt-hour. It isn’t. Different models use and produce the exact same text using different numbers of tokens, which means a lower price per token does not necessarily mean a lower bill. Imagine two identical pizzas. One is cut into 8 slices at $2 each. The other is cut into 16 slices at $1.25 each. The second place advertises cheaper slices, but the whole pizza costs $20 instead of $16. Bummer ... your stomach doesn't actually care about the number of slices you just ate. I know you are hungry now, but back to tokens. In one small comparison spanning English, technical, multilingual, and numerical text, the tokenizer we use for GPT-5.6 Sol used 766 tokens versus an estimated 1,170 for Claude Opus 5. That's a very significant difference of about 34.5% fewer tokens. You can get the same exact text, but pay for all those extra tokens. The price per token doesn't really tell this story. Even correcting for tokenizer differences misses the bigger point. What actually matters is price per successful outcome, and for that you can use benchmarks as a starting point, but really you have to try it and measure on your own use cases. That's all. May the tokens flow.

If you have a company and still use Opus instead of Sol, why so? Does price not matter to you? What's something that would convince you to switch?

Incredible things are happening at OpenAI right now. Energy is high.

Let Sol manage an efficient fleet of Luna agents for you. These models know each other well and collaborate to achieve the result in an incredibly fast and efficient way.

Ask ChatGPT to roast your computer usage after a day. Install the Computer History plugin, do things as usual and kindly ask it to roast your behavior. It's ... insightful 👀 ===== - You don’t use Slack. Slack uses you. It accounted for 48% of your recorded activity. Your Mac is essentially a $3,000 Slack notification with a keyboard. - Your productivity system is clicking “Clear” until God intervenes. You clicked it 339 times while submitting 253 Slack messages. You are playing Whac-A-Mole against an organization chart. - Your most-used keyboard shortcut is Delete. 1,191 times, including 1,065 in Slack. You’re not drafting messages. You’re negotiating peace treaties between your first thought and your executive function. - You pressed ⌘C 133 times and ⌘V just 26 times. You acquire information like a Victorian gentleman collecting exotic birds and then apparently release most of it into the clipboard wilderness. - You opened 42 tabs and closed 53. Technically, this makes browser-tab management your most successful project of the day. - You switched between actual applications more than 200 times, while reading an X post that literally said, “You probably hate tab switching.” The call is coming from inside the Chrome window. - Your busiest hour was 9 p.m., with more than 1,500 Slack events. Apparently “end of day” is less a time than a theoretical concept you enjoy discussing in meetings. - Your document at the center of several important workstreams was called “Hello.” Nothing says organizational clarity like running half the company through a Google Doc named after the first thing software prints.

Work with Google docs, sheets and slides right inside ChatGPT. This has changed how I write documents, brainstorm or proofread things. I just open it and then chat or talk my way through changes and it all happens right there in the flow.
