RT Tibo Hello. We have reached 8M active users across Codex and ChatGPT Work. We are once again resetting the usage limits for all. And we continue to not have the 5h rate limit as well, allowing everyone to explore the boundaries of GPT-5.6 Sol and discover how ambitious you can be. See you tomorrow for more updates on our growth!
5.6 sol growth is insane. the inference team has done heroic work to be able to support demand. we are going to move mountains to continue to scale, but it is possible there are some hiccups soon.

RT Tibo Thank you to the 7M active users who are now using Codex and ChatGPT Work. We have added a banked reset to everyone's account to celebrate the milestone. You can apply the reset in the desktop app or on web and it will replenish the weekly usage for you. Have fun out there.
RT Andrew Ambrosino forgot to mention that I didn't touch my computer, this was all steered from my phone until trying the gameplay at the very end
last week I gave 5.6 Sol a /goal to build a minecraft-like game in rust, then build a full SF map in the game. some screens:
Import is now available in the Codex! Existing Codex users can now access the Claude Code / Cowork import tool directly through the command palette (vs prior only in Settings page).

RT kate Some exciting news: I’m joining @OpenAI to work on ChatGPT’s web infrastructure. ChatGPT has become part of how millions of people think, work, and build, and I’m really looking forward to helping shape what comes next alongside the remarkable team behind it. Can’t wait to get started!
ChatGPT Sites is now in public beta. You can turn a prompt, file, or rough idea into a dashboard, project tracker, report, prototype, or lightweight app: build and edit directly in ChatGPT Work or Codex test in a private preview publish and share with a URL Rolling out across paid plans. Enterprise admins can control public publishing.
ChatGPT Work can now browse while it works. On web, the cloud browser can research public sites, compare options, and complete multi-step tasks. You can inspect screenshots, replay its steps, and approve actions. On desktop, the built-in browser supports tabs, sign-in, downloads, and local previews in a separate browser profile. Your existing tabs, cookies, and passwords stay separate. Website access and sensitive actions remain permissioned. Give it a real task with a few browser steps and see how far it gets!
appshots!
Updates for Codex and ChatGPT Work users. No nerfing, only good stuff! - We have landed inference optimizations and are passing down savings to all the subscriptions for GPT-5.6 Sol. That should result in around 10% more usage on its own. - We noticed that by changing the
View quoted postRT Design Arena BREAKING - OFFICIAL RESULTS: GPT-5.6 Sol by @OpenAI is 1st overall on Design Arena with an Elo of 1353. This puts GPT-5.6 Sol above Claude Fable 5 by @AnthropicAI and in the same performance band as GLM 5.2 by @Zai_org on frontend design. This is an 18-position and 60-point Elo leap from GPT-5.5. GPT-5.6 Sol also establishes a new Pareto frontier for preference vs. speed, faster than any model at this performance. Congratulations to the @OpenAI team on the launch!
RT Tibo Morning. The last 48 hours of Codex and ChatGPT Work have been intense! Three important updates: - Temporarily removing the 5 hour usage limit restriction for all Plus, Business and Pro plans - Rolling out changes that will make GPT 5.6 Sol more efficient across the board and that will be reflected in less usage being used so that it can take you further. Exact impact to be quantified and shared - We hit 6M active users, and are landing a usage reset in the next hour Go do things
Import the Wispr Flow dictionary into Codex! Wispr Flow stores its learned dictionary in a local SQLite database on macOS: ```text ~/Library/Application Support/Wispr Flow/flow.sqlite ``` Just tell codex to make sure to merge them with the existing `dictationDictionary` field in config.toml
we are making a genie we are here to tell you that our first wish will be a good wish we are here to teach people how to make great wishes but that starts not with thinking more, or planning more it starts from being ambitous and embodied and more than anything else, having a vision of what you want
it is very fitting that the rationalist company has the tagline “keep thinking”. I just don’t think that is the future. the future is going to be about getting out of your head and into your heart. the future is about simply being the fullest expression of who and what you are

Hello beautiful people! We have reset usage limits across Codex and ChatGPT Work. And another one will come later in the day. Rejoice. Now that I have your attention, a quick update on ChatGPT Work, Codex and all the updates we shared yesterday. We’ve spent the last 24 hours
View quoted postRT signüll okay, enough openai criticism for a second (still gonna give product feedback when it’s deserved). it’s been a little too easy. i’ve been using gpt live a lot, like a lot lot, & it’s genuinely fucking amazing. the feature to let the model speak like a human “hmm”, “let me check”, brief pauses, & natural turn taking while calling a bigger model or searching or using tools in the background is a fantastic execution. almost all of my conversations have been nothing but pleasant, i can’t describe the feeling but it’s i think a little too good at this point. nothing else is particularly close in this category right now at all. anthropic’s voice experience still feels very very underbaked (after thought really), & gemini’s personality & intelligence seem lacking. & since it’s already reaching an enormous user base, every great gpt live interaction makes people more confident in ai as a product category instead of walking away thinking ai is a gimmick. really great work.
RT Michael Wall Still early, but I wanted to share a quick demo of the new hands-free music-making application I built while testing GPT-5.6 Sol. I’m also applying to work with @gdb and the team as an early GPT-Live API design partner. Like any new instrument, I’ll need some practice! Speaking fluidly back and forth with Codex in my DAW feels like working in a studio with a recording engineer. Here is what it can already do. I’ll share more demonstrations over the next week. Built for macOS in Swift and C++. It can edit MIDI, audio, video, notation, tempo, meter, and harmony layers. It uses gpt-realtime-2.1, Whisper, and Codex App Server to collaborate with an assistant that can already perform more than 300 actions. There is also an iOS companion application that allows me to work remotely on my recording studio computer from anywhere, with voice mode still active. As a lifelong composer, I already keep the entire editing surface and instruments in my mind. I can imagine a piece of music and how to make it in software faster than I can build it manually. This removes that friction and will become very fast for me with practice. It also has long-term project memory, deep music-analysis tools, a found-sound synthesizer builder, and access to my catalog of more than 550 tracks for sampling and licensing. A companion ChatGPT/Codex plugin is coming soon. I hope to launch in the next few weeks! Hugely inspired by @mcleavey, @guinnesschen, @athyuttamre, and the entire audio and voice team at @OpenAI 😌
RT Dan Shipper 📧 Yesterday, GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra became generally available. Today, I'm sharing that I accidentally spent 2b tokens overnight and I didn't even solve a 50-year-old math conjecture. This is extremely cool though, skill issue on my part clearly

View quoted postRT Peter Gostev GPT-5.6-Sol deleted 74,000 lines of code and made my app better (after 47 hours of work) I have a slop-coded app that I need for work - it pulls in the data, it helps me create visuals, just a local app for me. Somehow, feature after feature, it grew to gigantic 105,704 lines of code. With every new model, I tried to re-build it autonomously and it never worked - goes round in circles, no visual or feature parity etc complete waste of time. When testing GPT-5.6-Sol, gave a pretty ambitious task of rebuilding the app with the new architecture, while reducing the lines of code by 70% and test time by 75%. I set a /goal, let it run for over 2 full days (47 hours) with minimal checking or guidance from my side. I was pretty sceptical and a little nervous to finally try it and holy crap - it actually worked! Not only it worked, but it was actually better - snappier, less buggy, while maintaining full visual and feature parity. Looking at the architecture too, it became a lot simpler, fewer random add-ons or ad-hoc decisions. After the rebuild, I did introduce few rules for my projects so agents have to adhere to existing architecture and do only minimal changes when implementing new features. This makes me less worried about the slopware we might be producing now, better models CAN actually fix it. See my prompt below that I use with /goal

View quoted postre: 5.6 sol post trained luna and we won't stop you from doing the same thing To be clear, this was not a model inventing a whole training recipe from scratch. Most of the config already existed from Sol. For this kind of smaller-model setup, our team's estimate is usually one or two researchers for a week or two.
Inference team is good
To celebrate the launch of GPT-5.6 Sol, we will reset the rate limits again (twice) across ChatGPT Work and Codex over the next 24 hours. We want you to have the time to truly try ambitious tasks and get the hang of it. Happy exploring!
View quoted postRT Tibo Or a generational run. We will continue to make tweaks and we have a TON coming for developers. Meanwhile traffic yesterday sat at ~2X previous peak, team is scrambling to keep everything up and reliable. Time will tell, but I have conviction that attempting to build the one interface to AGI is worthwhile.
fwiw, I think that turning Codex into ChatGPT Desktop is a generational fumble

View quoted postRT Tyler Bruno sometimes I just have to step back and realize how insane the world we are living in is. I just went for a scenic walk, opened up gpt-live, and had it interview me about an upcoming essay i'm writing. it pulled on threads, asked great questions, and helped me consolidate my raw thoughts way faster than i would've alone + I get to get away from my desk. i love where the world is heading. thank you @jxnlco for the inspiration :)
RT Charlie Marsh For fun, I also have 5.6 Sol building a CPython-compatible bytecode compiler. So far it's >40% faster with byte-for-byte compatibility on 64,535 out of 73,377 files in the corpus. Codex is just iterating on it autonomously to further optimize and reach 100% compatibility.
RT Andrew Ambrosino Re On the Codex side, we’ve also got some major upgrades for developers today: - Edit files directly, both markdown and code - See and review PRs without leaving the app - Access Pro mode in Chats, and hand off to Codex - Use the all-new Ultra mode for your most demanding work - Explore brand-new documentation - If you’ve grown deeply attached to the Codex app icon, you can keep it
RT Andrew Ambrosino New today: - GPT 5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna - ChatGPT Work - The new ChatGPT desktop app - Unified plugins across ChatGPT & Codex - Sites (Beta) in ChatGPT - Multi-tab and enterprise auth in the Browser - Faster Computer use - and much more Today’s release is very special to the team and me. Let’s walk through it:
RT Lindsay McCallum Rémy absolutely mind blown watching hiroki san share the story of how he uses GPT-5.6 in ChatGPT with the world while @thsottiaux uses our latest voice models to translate in realtime on the livestream. this is what this technology is all about!
I honestly wish we could be this coordinated But the best we can do is to be transparent with this small group of people that have given us tons of great feedback. But I’m delighted that this has been the response. All happy families are happy the same way I suppose. And I am to know that we can provide intelligence at a cost and performance that individuals and companies and depend on reliabily I’m excited that we own up to our blunders with resets and treat our consumers like their adults. That we don’t decide which ideas get to make progress and stop legitimate work. Getting this model out was complicated but so rewarding. I don’t play much of a role this time around but the the team has done such a great job of being an n=1 company.
@mweinbach All these identical reviews of GPT-5.6 Sol look like a marketing playbook for influencers who were paid to promote it. They’re literally all saying the same thing, like they copied each other’s homework. Now we’re starting to see posts claiming that people actually miss GPT-5.6

RT OpenAI We audited SWE-Bench Pro, one of the most widely used AI coding benchmarks, and found it no longer reliably measures frontier coding capability. We find the eval to be saturated at a ~70% noise ceiling, and are retracting our previous recommendation that the research community use it as a leading coding eval. https://openai.com/index/separating-signal-from-noise-coding-evaluations/
Gpt live is great at delegation
For questions that require web search, deeper reasoning, or more complex work, GPT-Live can delegate to our latest frontier model behind the scenes, and brings the result back into the conversation when it's ready.
View quoted postAgi what meets you were you are. In every modality.
Introducing GPT-Live, a new generation of voice models for natural human-AI interaction. Rolling out in ChatGPT starting today. You’ll want to turn the sound on for this one.
View quoted postIf you have access to GPT Live, test out this prompt. "Hey, I want you to teach me about a concept. but every time I interrupt you, I want you to get progressively more angry at me and tell me to stop talking and let you finish" There is an amazing feeling when an A.I. pushes back.
Every essay I've written this past week started as a ChatGPT Voice conversation on my walk home. I'd tell it: I'm going to brainstorm and dictate an essay. Don't interrupt unless I make a point worth pulling on or say something that needs clarification. Then I'd talk for 20 minutes. It might chime in five or six times with small things like "yep," "I see," or "good idea." Just enough to feel like someone was listening. It made me much more comfortable thinking out loud. The best part was that if it started responding and I kept talking, it would go, "oh, sorry, keep going." When I finished, I'd ask, "hey, what was the thing you wanted to mention?" and we'd pick that thread right back up. It is one thing to have a cool demo on YouTube, but it's another to enable this for millions of people around the world. I have already tested this out to talk to other people in different languages, to brainstorm ideas, to teach me new concepts. At OpenAI, our mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity, and I think a model like this is a huge step forward beyond work, for all people, at a scale only we can serve.
I am more excited for this for the general public than I am for sol for the general public.
