Svmuu News: Tibo, a core member of OpenAI Codex, posted on X stating that it had previously made it too easy for users to enable high-computing-power mode without adequately explaining its impact on usage quotas; a major redesign of the desktop app has made commonly used features—such as chats and projects—difficult to find; marketing efforts that focused too heavily on ChatGPT Work led some Codex users to mistakenly believe that Codex would be phased out in the future. Additionally, the new version caused issues with certain multi-agent workflows, plugin functionality, and other aspects of the user experience.
In response to these issues, OpenAI has rolled out its first set of improvements, including adjusting default settings and the model selector to prevent users from inadvertently using high-cost configurations; fixing multiple plugin submission issues; optimizing Codex’s presentation within the product; and resolving some desktop experience issues.
Furthermore, over the past 24 hours, OpenAI has been collecting user feedback, analyzing usage data, and engaging with users. Although the market has shown strong interest in GPT 5.6 Sol as well as the web and mobile versions of ChatGPT Work, OpenAI acknowledges that this update has introduced several issues.
To date, two rounds of usage quota top-ups for Codex and ChatGPT Work have been completed, and the next round of larger-scale updates will go live next week. At that time, chat and project features will return to the sidebar in a more familiar and customizable format, while the platform will also enhance the visibility of usage quotas and reset times, further clarifying the respective use cases for ChatGPT Work and Codex.
