OpenAI Says ChatGPT Will Merge Chat and Work Tabs and Share Tokens with Codex
Summary
OpenAI tells users it will merge ChatGPT's Chat and Work tabs, starting with select users before a wider rollout. Both ChatGPT and Codex will draw tokens from one shared pool, OpenAI says, which could mean more frequent waits for resets for some heavy users. Anthropic combined Claude's chat and Cowork functions in September.
Key Points
- OpenAI says the merged view lets users bring in files and plugins and ask ChatGPT to build a website or a presentation.
- OpenAI tells users Codex remains a separate experience in the ChatGPT desktop app after the change.
- OpenAI says the shared token pool will not affect most users, with waits depending on usage and model.
