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 context size limit in the product to 372k for GPT-5.6 Sol, up from 272k for GPT-5.5, it resulted in more usage being charged than intended. We have reverted to 272k and will work to roll back out to 372k in the days to come. You should notice that usage drains significantly less after this change.
- To understand where the extra usage was coming from, we ran some experiments where reasoning efforts were changed (referred to as juice values under the hood) and have reverted this.
- There is slightly more usage of multi-agent than intended in high and xhigh reasoning effort, we are fixing this going forward. Also fixing a small other thing we noticed with auto-review where we can be more efficient.
And we continue to have the 5h limit temporarily not apply. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Added a banked reset to 500k users of ChatGPT Work and Codex.
What’s been happening:
- Just released the ability to use a banked reset from web and mobile. Before today you could only do it in the desktop app
- Had an issue where less than 10% of users who used a banked reset and it didn’t actually reset. This was during a 2 hour window.
- It was hard to find all the exact users where it didn’t apply, so instead granted a banked reset to everyone who pressed the reset button in that 2 hour window. This also gives us the opportunity to validate the new infra ahead of tomorrow
Tomorrow we will celebrate our 7M active users milestone and grant the first banked reset across all of our ChatGPT Work and Codex users.
We will also release a bunch of updates to the desktop app, addressing a ton of your feedback.
Talk soon
@thsottiaux definitely seems nerfed. i remember pre-nerf i noticed how slow it was, but super thorough, just like 5.2 was. now it's back to feeling like 5.5 again
seems more error-prone due to it
sadly that's the trade-off for speed
@ns123abc he also confessed to previously denied claims that we were being charged the 2x rate for going over the 272k limit because of the new 353k window
