pushing Hard - sky is the limit

[Afzal @afaa_him]

I’ve seen a lot of people saying, “We don’t need Sora. OpenAI should stop wasting time on image and video models and focus entirely on coding.”

But why does everything have to revolve around coding?

Artists, filmmakers, game developers, and creators are OpenAI customers too. We want better models for our work, just as developers want better models for theirs.

You can want a better coding model without dismissing the tools other people depend on.

OpenAI doesn't have to choose between serving developers and serving creators. Both matter

[The Information @theinformation]

OpenAI's retreat from expensive side projects may be reversing as the company explores a deal to revive Sora while expanding its efforts in robotics, creator tools and personal devices.

Day/14

Small quality-of-life improvement from OpenAI

You can now edit previous messages within a thread on the desktop app

A small feature, but a big win for anyone who uses ChatGPT daily

Sometimes, the smallest improvements make the biggest difference

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Day 14/

Small quality of life improvement. You can now edit previous messages within a thread in the desktop app. Long time requested, and took way too long to get that one out.

[Afzal @afaa_him]

OpenAI's next model is coming, and it will destroy Fable 5.5 No doubt

I see a lot of hype around Fable 5.5

Fable 5.5 will be expensive asf and it will not be far better than Opus

GPT-6.1 Sol is now enough good and compating with Opus So it's easy for open ai to beat

That's why this next model will be worth-waited model

[lyra @lyraxana]

Partners got access to a second Fable 5.5 checkpoint, which so far seems stronger than the first one.

@theo You deserve it :) hard worker

🚨 Codex users!!

Day 1 of OpenAI’s “28 Days of Improvements”

GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol just got a massive speed boost

30 → ~50 tokens/sec Around 50% faster Rolling out automatically

We’re already halfway to Opus 5.5 speeds

What do you think day 2 we will get?

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Day 1/

We have optimized the default speed to be ~50% faster across GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol through the subscription across all our products and partners using Sign in With ChatGPT (including OpenCode, Pi, Amp, Devin, ...).

No changes needed on your end and this should be felt within the next two hours.

[Afzal @afaa_him]

🚨 Codex users!!

OpenAI is rolling out invisible watermarks for eligible ChatGPT + Codex text output in the EU

The watermark is designed to be invisible in the generated text
OpenAI will also provide detector access to approved researchers

Is this “Day 1 shipping in 28 days” we heard ??

[Salio @Mr_Salio]

🚨 OpenAI Is Adding Invisible Watermarks to AI Text

Invisible watermarks are coming to eligible ChatGPT + Codex text output in the EU Watermarking will stay off by default in the API

OpenAI is opening access to its text watermark detector for approved researchers and expert organizations

Do you think AI-generated text should be traceable?

[Afzal @afaa_him]

🚨 Codex users!!

ChatGPT Plus is FREE for 1 month

OpenAI is Giving ChatGPT Plus for free,

Check your account if you're eligible, the offer should appear during checkout

If you don’t see it, you may not be eligible for this promotion

Have you seen this?

[Afzal @afaa_him]

🚨 CODEX Users!!

We will get free codex resets everyday
For the next 28 days

If OpenAI don't ship one meaningful improvement every single day for Codex + ChatGPT Work

So basically:

📈 Improvement drops = W
🔄 No improvement = FREE RESET
🔥 28 days of Codex updates

OpenAI just turned the next month into a Codex upgrade marathon

What would you like openAI To ship?

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Over the next 28 days, each day we’ll either ship one thing that is a clear improvement and relevant for most codex/work users or ship a full reset. Let the improvements begin.

[Afzal @afaa_him]

🚨 Codex Users!!

GPT-6 Astra Light is WAY too good for Codex Plus users

If you’re on Plus and want to use Astra, we’ve been testing it for almost 1 hour 30 minutes…

And the 5-hour window is honestly insane

20% of the 5-hour window still available after that much testing

The limit almost doesn’t even feel real

[Afzal @afaa_him]

🚨 GPT-6.1 Astra Update

Tibo has reportedly confirmed that OpenAI won’t be launching Astra this week, with next week now looking like the more likely window.

> OpenAI is expected to ship Ultrafast this week
> The delay appears to be giving OpenAI more time before the next major frontier launch
> If the current timeline holds, we could be looking at a serious Astra vs Fable 5.5 battle very soon

So this week: Ultrafast

How Fast do you want gpt-6.1 astra open ai to release?

[Afzal @afaa_him]

🚨 Codex Users

GPT-6.1 Sol Ultra Fast is confirmed to be coming next week

If it’s actually as fast as you can't imagine, Codex users are about to have a serious upgrade

GPT-6.1 Sol with Ultra Fast Will be game changer

OpenAI finally fixing the speed problem

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

@_ak_111 6.1 sol ultrafast

[Afzal @afaa_him]

🚨 OpenAI Needs to Fix These

> A genuinely stronger model than Opus 5.5 / Fable 5.5
> Giving access to every new feature to plus users
> Better performance without insane pricing
> Dots for Plus users
> Faster GPT-6.1 Sol, especially in Work + Codex
> Fair usage limits + predictable resets
> Multi-chat tabs and proper project organization

What did I forget guys?

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

What’s one thing that’s missing in codex that you wish we had?

[Afzal @afaa_him]

🚨 Codex Usage is getting Worse

My Astra High usage is getting eaten MUCH faster after the latest reset

Before the reset:

> Around 20% of my $200 plan could last more than a day
> Multiple agents running throughout the day
> Pretty heavy workloads

Now:

> Same GPT-6 Astra Sol High
> Similar workload
> Just a few hours in
> Already at 65% usage

That’s not a small difference

The exact workload hasn't changed much on my side, but the amount of usage being consumed has

Anyone else seeing this after the reset?

[Afzal @afaa_him]

🚨 Codex users

GPT-6.1 Astra Could come next week

Tibo confirmed a new release is coming next week, but the actual announcement is still under wraps

We already have GPT-6Asra Which is Really Good model If we get Gpt-6.1 Astra That will be insane

OpenAI is cooking again

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

@poteto Hey now. You don’t know what we’re releasing next week

[Afzal @afaa_him]

🚨 Codex users

GPT-6.1 Sol just got MUCH faster

I tested the speed of GPT-6.1 Sol after OpenAI fixed the slowdown, and the results are honestly insane

GPT-6.1 Sol is now up to ~20% faster than it was around DevDay

The model quality was already crazy now the speed is finally catching up

6.1 Sol with proper speed is a completely different experience

[Afzal @afaa_him]

🚨 CODEX RESET HAS FINALLY LANDED!

After hours of waiting, the Codex reset is finally rolling out

Fresh limits Fresh quota

Now we can actually get back to building

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Reset all propagated. Enjoy.

[Afzal @afaa_him]

🚨 Codex users… WHERE IS THE RESET? 😭

The codex reset was supposed to happen over an 2h ago, and all of us are still waiting

I managed to burn mine down to 0%, thinking the reset was about to hit… and now nothing

Where is the reset, Tibo? we’re still waiting

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Global reset landing tomorrow 10am PST for all paid ChatGPT accounts. Apologies for the slow start with GPT-6.1 Sol, it's now back to running at expected speeds after the massive load spike in the first two days.

[Afzal @afaa_him]

🚨 Codex users

The global Codex usage reset is landing at 10 AM PST
