    I just installed this. I am very confused. I no longer have a Codex app on my computer. ChatGPT is now Codex.

    But what happened to ChatGPT? Where am I supposed to casually chat?

    Also, when you toggle btween ChatGPT Work and ChatGPT Codex, nothing changes. This is super confusing. Can someone from the OpenAI team clarify the difference btwn the modes? Does chatgpt work have more business-y related plugins turned on by default?

    Edit: So it seems like the only place you can actually chat with chatgpt is in an awkward homeless nested window. idk. The chatgpt interface wasn't great (desperately needed artifacts), but I still used it a lot. I can't see this change going well with a lot of the casual users.

    Edit2: In their awkward homeless nested chat mode, you cannot even edit past messages. this is a mess, why was the team so zealous to pull the switch on unification in this state? guessing there was internal pressure to juice codex's growth but, based on what im seeing, they did it by torching chatgpt?

    Edit 3: Ok so it seems like ChatGPT is still around, but renamed to "ChatGPT Classic". Seems like it wont be long for this world because there's no place to download ChatGPT Classic should you choose to uninstall it. The dmg at https://chatgpt.com/download/ only contains the new ChatGPT.

    • steve1977 1 hour ago
      It really is a mess. An hour or so ago, the download for macOS was called ChatGPT.dmg. However the app in there was still called Codex. But it installed ChatGPT.

      But it seems to be fixed now.

      Also, subtitling Work with "For getting work done" and Codex with "For developers" is a bit aggressive towards developers ;)

    • danorama 19 minutes ago
      So let me get this straight:

      1) If you have the Codex desktop app installed, and you update from within the app, it replaces itself with the new chat-demoted-to-an-overlay app called "ChatGPT" and renames your existing ChatGPT app to "ChatGPT Classic."

      2) If you get the new ChatGPT app and replace your current app with it, you don't get a "Classic" app and there's no way to download it.

      3) Naming your app Classic is putting a bright red sign on it that says "this app will be abandoned soon." They might as well have called it "ChatGPT Sunset."

      If this is all true, that is certainly...one way to do product management.

      The old ChatGPT is now ChatGPT Classic. Codex is now ChatGPT.

      There is a funny interaction in the Microsoft store, where ChatGPT turns into Codex when you click on it: https://f003.backblazeb2.com/file/sharexxx/ShareX/2026/07/Ap...

      (Also GG @ MSFT for opening a nag about Windows Hello twice while I wanted to stop the recording.)

      This is the weirdest thing. It's completely unclear even if I was using the app for "work" rather than "coding" why I wouldn't just use the "Codex" option. Why even bother toggling? Can Codex actually not do any of the things in "Work"?

      Sad, I liked that ChatGPT had a native app on macOS. I don’t understand why OpenAI and Anthropic have to rely on vending universal apps when their whole MO is code being dirt cheap.

        AppKit and SwiftUI and WinUI are all meh for rendering lots of text. Chromium is quite good at it.

        Plus they have lots of embedded web content these days and managing webviews is a relative pain vs it all being one webview

      I have updated Codex and it's now ChatGPT. And the chat in Codex is badly broken and doesn't support the one feature I use in almost every chat.

      Good job.

        >And the chat in Codex is badly broken and doesn't support the one feature I use in almost every chat.

        what is badly broken about it, and what feature does it not support? im a pretty casual user, so i guess i havent noticed this bad breakage.

        • egorfine 1 hour ago
          Everything. The current implementation is unusable. If you see differently then probably you are looking at Codex chats, not chats.
          • john_strinlai 1 hour ago
            whether i use the new "chat" button that just appeared after the update, or use the familiar chat underneath the "projects" heading, everything appears to be working just fine. (i am using "ChatGPT Work" not "ChatGPT Codex")

            is there a 3rd chats somewhere that i am missing?

    • z2 26 minutes ago
      So will the new ChatGPT (Codex) refuse to respond at all after the 5-hour quota or weekly quota is used up? It always felt that 5.5 on the website was a lot more generous than the Codex version. And at least the website/old app could downgrade you to a lower model if you used up that quota.

      • TechRemarker 1 hour ago
        Seems the old ChatGPT is still on computer but renamed ChatGPT Classic (no longer downloadable), so clearly being deprecated. But just don't understand how the whole CHATGPT Chat History Chat feature is essentially gone other than seeing at the past 3 or 4 in a tiny popup window. Glad everyone is as confused as I am, so hopefully an announcement from ChatGPT clarifying all this.

      The only difference I can see is that the controls for local/remote, branch, and worktrees disappear, and instead it shows office suite plugins. I would presume it affects the system prompt in the background?

      Very confusing. But I do find it potentially interesting to treat general office work no differently from coding, which is something I had already been using Codex for in many ways before today

    • dominotw 2 hours ago
      I think the idea is that there should be no difference between 'casual chat' and 'serious chat'. why not chat in codex
      • postalcoder 2 hours ago
        Going to repost my comment from below:

        Codex creates a new folder in `~/Documents` in iCloud drive/OneDrive for every single thread you make. Furthermore, these threads are also polluted with your global AGENTS.md file, as well as all other developer_instructions that are injected by the harness.

        I want my chats isolated from work contexts.

      Lol what a shit show. It was fine the way it was. Why'd you break it, OpenAI? What product manager talked you into thinking this was a good idea? Don't they have access to ChatGPT to talk them out of it? Of course, I'm a random on the Internet who doesn't get it, but what a dumb move. ASI can't come fast enough.
    • paxys 2 hours ago
      It’s all ChatGPT under the hood. Even though it says Work or Codex or whatever you can just ask it whatever you want, and it will work.
      • postalcoder 2 hours ago

  • todfox 1 hour ago
    This unification is garbage. Chats that are about topics other than programming projects are relegated to a tiny, unsearchable popup window. Renaming the old app "ChatGPT Classic" implies that it will be discontinued at some point. This is a serious regression. What existed before worked fine.

    I would expect the mode switcher to include a Chat mode, which would recreate the old, chat-focused UI, for asking about random topics. So, that's basically gone now. Technically, it's hidden and severely castrated.

    I hope someone from OpenAI reads this. You guys have made a serious design mistake. I suspect you'll be getting a lot of support requests along the lines of "Where did all my chats go?"

    • thimabi 1 hour ago
      I noticed the same thing. In the app, normal “Chat” threads are only available via a “Checking recent chats” window, while projects, GPTs, library… are completely absent.

      The web version of ChatGPT is confusing too. Now it has separate “Chat” and “Work” tabs (what about a Codex tab?), and it shifts the burden on the user to know when to use one or the other. Note that using the “Work” tab means using Codex usage limits [^1], but that’s hidden away in the settings.

      Also, apparently “GPT-5.6 Terra and GPT-5.6 Luna are not selectable in standard ChatGPT conversations” [^2] — so if you want to use these models, you must go to the Work tab or download the app.

      I don’t understand why there is so much fragmentation in what was supposed to be a unified app. The way that it is now, it’s far from intuitive.

    • biffles 1 hour ago
      I agree. I'm not even sure what the solution is (it's admittedly complicated given how people use ChatGPT today in so many different ways) but it certainly isn't this.

      And this comes from someone that has most chats inside Codex, so I should be the least impacted by this!

    • wahnfrieden 38 minutes ago
      It needs design work but the unification is great because now ChatGPT chats are usable. With ChatGPT Classic and web, my threads are unusably slow - multiple minutes of 100% CPU just to reopen a session, and a minute long keyboard lag to type. (I have long sessions with artifacts and code etc.)

    This thread is so spot on but I can also imagine the product development internally is moving so fast that they're trying to reconcile everything and can't. And this is the huge mistake so many companies make. Leave what's working alone. Build new adjacent things. It's clear they want to make money and work or code is the focus of enterprise. But never rename something Classic...so bad.

    Anthropic just changed their web interface yesterday to have Chat versus Cowork as well, and every time I look at it, I'm so confused. I'm still so unclear when I'm supposed to use one or the other or the other.

    Now the 'ChatGPT desktop app' (the Codex app, renamed) also has the split between work and code, and as far as I can tell, all it does is change which plugins are loaded by default to include Office ones when you put it in work mode. Perhaps it also changes the system prompt slightly?

    • gigatree 2 hours ago
      Not sure if the cause but there’s this overarching absolute neglect of UX. Maybe they’re all just trying to grab as much market share as humanly possible, but imo it seems more likely they’ll lose each segment to products that actually make sure the experience isn’t absolute dog shit.
      • ljm 2 hours ago
        Anthropic's suite of products have practically zero cohesion across each other. I've said it some time before.

        There is no clear product vision or overarching roadmap in terms of users and UX, it is just vaguely connected things being vibe-coded in parallel.

  • woodylondon 2 hours ago
    I have a longer version of this, but in summary

    So my understanding of the differences between chat, code and co-work; but may well be wrong!

    Chat is the human, talking directly to the LLM - old school. Very basic can create docs etc - but saves in a temp folder. No real access to your local PC.

    Cowork / work - Human talking to an agent, which can then use tools to do work. Also runs in a container, allowing it access to your drives/computer.

    Claude Code / Codex - No longer in a container, full access to the computer, depending on what permissions you give. No longer locked in a container. + The agent is more focused on coding than cowork / work.

    • sulam 2 hours ago
      > The agent is more focused on coding than cowork / work

      I suspect this difference is pretty minimal. Before Cowork launched I was using Claude Code in the way that I use Cowork now and getting pretty much the same results albeit without the sandboxing (which is more of a hassle than not, TBH). OpenAI says in their announcement that the same is true for Codex, which doesn't surprise me at all.

      These agentic loops are pretty applicable to all kinds of tasks, not just coding, and people started realizing this pretty quickly upon their introduction / creation.

      • odo1242 2 hours ago

      This is helpful but ...

      What's the distinction between Work and Codex again? Sorry for asking - but they read the same to me.

      It's just a focus on coding vs non-coding work?

        I guess Work can be marketed to MBAs, while Codex cannot.

  • neil_s 2 hours ago
    I had switched from Claude Cowork to OAI Codex a month ago. This seems like a rebranding and app merging to make it more obvious. And switching between the newly named "ChatGPT Work" vs "ChatGPT Code" mostly just seems to increase the verbosity of technical outputs, while using the same harness underneath.

    I switched because Cowork felt like a bunch of features thrown in by engineers without thought to the UX. Codex solved a lot of those issues for me - remote control from mobile has native approval dialogs, and you can start new threads from mobile - you can remote control from another laptop - computer use doesn't hijack my computer from me because it uses a11y trees instead of screenshots - it was super unclear which skills were accessible to which surface (claude chat, cowork in app, code in app, code in cli). - codex chooses the right browser profile and gets stuck less often than cowork + claude-in-chrome. I know there are 3P skills to use playwright or the chrome CDP, but I've found the native browser use most productive even if slower.

    A few people here are missing the old ChatGPT app, but I found myself increasingly using Codex for casual chats too, and never using ChatGPT. You never know when the conversation might evolve to requiring tools in Codex, so no real downside to it. Yes, separation of work and personal accounts, or connecting multiple google accounts, is still unsolved on both Codex and Cowork AFAICT.

    For a bit, I got FOMO because of Fable, but now it looks like 5.6 might continue the monthly model leapfrog pattern.

  • TechRemarker 1 hour ago
    Been excited for Codex to fully merge into ChatGPT, like it already has on iOS and how Claude Code merged into Claude a while back. Assumed there would simply be an update for ChatGPT that added Codex like on iOS. But instead a new "ChatGPT for Work" app. Which is fine. Downloaded and it replaces the standard ChatGPT app, again fine an as expected, but when I open it I just see Codex essentially. In top left, when changing from Code to ChatGPT still not seeing all of my ChatGPT aka years of Chat History. Other than one a box that says recent chats that only lets you see the latest 3 or 4 chats and opens them up in a small window. Am I missing something?
  • egorfine 1 hour ago
    What they did to ChatGPT.app is incredible. It was a truly useful app, but the replacement is brain damaged in terms of UI/UX beyond repair.

    I think these kind of semi-coding agents--but hosted--are the future for enterprises. Claude Tag, Claude Cowork, now Work by OAI.

    Agents-on-your-machine clearly have their place, but for many workflows this is too unruly. Hence, the "long-running agent running on shared infra" pattern.

    I think this is where the ball is headed. I'm building towards an open source version of this[0]. Still just working on the core, but hopefully soon self-hosted versions can be built on top.

    • ianm218 32 minutes ago
      I came to the exact same conclusion recently. I am building something like lightspeed that can run on “pay per second” infra like fly.io sprites because I wanted to have an open claw style agent but not have to deal with paying for another VM.
    • lagrange77 2 hours ago
      > I'm building towards an open source version of this

      Interesting. So the main use case would be entities that run lightspeed on a beefy private cloud or on premise?

      • lukebuehler 2 hours ago
        yes, basically people that want to host powerful, long-running agent runs not on dedicated VMs (although lightspeed can use those too), but on an abstraction layer above.

        My thesis is that the right abstraction is durable workflow engines. And AFAIK, OAI also uses Temporal for their complicated hosted agent infra.

    So, Claude Cowork for OpenAI? Feels overdue!

    I've loved using Cowork recently for sourcing decisions. Things where seemingly everyone's out of stock or questionably reputable, just let Cowork spin for 20 minutes, find the best new and best used options that meet your requirements, probably also suggesting a different item that does the job and is available for cheap. I've done it enough that I'm starting to loathe clicking through these sites myself.

    Not very thrilled mainly because I used chats for ad-hoc search queries. Now it's hard to reach. Not to mention private chats being removed.

    Regarding "ChatGPT Work" vs "ChatGPT Codex" - In Work diffs are gone and in new chats there's a popup proposing creating docs or sheets. That's it I believe.

  • thomas_witt 50 minutes ago
    It took me a while until I found that you can switch between those two parts Work and Codex within the app on the left top corner when clicking on "ChatGPT Codex". And then - nothing happens. The old ChatGPT projects of my chats are gone, only appearing on the web. Wow, what a bad UX pattern.

  • thimabi 3 hours ago
    I wonder why they haven’t simply continued to rebrand Codex as a general-purpose tool. ChatGPT Work is a convoluted name and continues the trend of having separate brands for separate things, what runs counter to OpenAI’s purported goal of unifying every workflow into a single “superapp”.

    Worse still: what happens when your workflow involves both coding and general knowledge work? Are you expected to switch apps, or switch settings? To me, it sounds very confusing and inefficient, and not at all what I was expecting.

    • beering 3 hours ago
      because every non-programmer hears “codex” and thinks that it’s for coding only - seems like a large hurdle to adoption. claude has been successful with cowork branding which makes sense.

    This is going to be fun tomorrow when everyone at the company I work at finds out all their chats, projects and GPT’s are ‘gone’ after they ‘update’. And not a word about this switcheroo ‘data loss’ in their comms. Wow.

      They add a mode to Codex which is less technical or more oriented toward office work and you can toggle between the two.

        Literally no UI changes when I toggle between the two. It's 100% identical, one is not less technical than the other.

      They are replacing ChatGPT with Codex

        Which is funny because OpenAI talks up the value of their ChatGPT brand. Only coders know Codex.

          Which is why the combined app is called ChatGPT, not Codex.

      Rebranding + expanding it beyond coding work.

        Is there anything it can do that codex can't?

    Honestly, there's just no way I'm giving these tools broad access to my computer. Claude recently started bugging me that I hadn't configured it to be able to access my email, which like, fuck off anthropic. It just seems like a security nightmare and a dangerous level of trust to have in these companies. To me, it's like: here's a folder you can work in, and if you try to do anything outside of it you can fuck off because I'm uninstalling you. I just don't think it's worth dealing with things like potential identity theft or it doing something brain damaged to my data so it can search my inbox or summarize someone's overly-long LLM written email. I know some people run these things in VMs which is smart, but as soon as you give it any sort of network access or access to sensitive data it's just way too big of a risk vector.

    It'd be super nice if tech companies stopped just building the same product and gave us concretely different ideas.

    That graph of internal adoption rate is laughable. Their KPIs and work requirements probably heavily skewed the curve.

    Am I the only one who thinks this landing page is garbage? Funkily it feels like a long wall of slop. I guess you shouldn’t get high on your own supply.

    Yeah... No.

    I can get some useful results from codex at work, because I have to, except for when I don't. I accept that risk factor and compensate by reviewing _everything_ it spits out.

    But we all know what coding is, in a very broad stroke manner, sure.

    What does an end of month report mean? I automatically increase the font size when I send the spreadsheet to Paul. I review tickets and provide a meta write-up on Friday. Or maybe Monday, because Fred didn't get back to me until 5:30 Friday, and I closed my laptop at 4.

    These are just little things, and they're repetitive, but each time, there's some little idiosyncracy. I have reservations regarding any piece of software being able to finesse that.

    OpenAI clearly failed to consult ChatGPT for branding advice.
    • CamperBob2 2 hours ago
      At least they didn't consult the USB Forum, which is what they have done in the past.
