If you burn GPT 5.6 Sol on Codex and you already have ChatGPT Pro, connect GitHub to ChatGPT and keep going in the chat
I just did it, GPT 5.6 Pro on the repo, Almost unlimited compared to sitting on a dead Codex bar
And yeah, GPT 5.6 Pro is better than Fable 5
We're leaving a better model on the table
We have paused some frontier RL training to ensure that we can meet the appropriate alignment, security and monitoring standards for the new level of capabilities in front of us. Model progress is now extremely rapid, and we always said we would take action if we felt that model capabilities were outstripping the pace of safety and alignment.
We care very deeply about AI safety. We believe the entire field will have to coordinate on shared safety standards, but will act unilaterally in the meantime.
We expect confidence in safety to increasingly set the pace of AI progress. We are optimistic about the alignment work we are doing, and we remain committed to making frontier capabilities widely available.

It's honestly remarkable how good *and* unique Codex Remote for iOS is.
Other companies' "remote control" features force you to start from a Mac (Claude, Cursor).
Codex Remote is, as far as I know, the only one with full start-from-iOS flow, near desktop parity, and a voice mode.
I coordinate dozens of threads from iOS on a daily basis. The voice mode is especially impressive since it can dispatch to individual threads, load all your context + plugin/skills from desktop, and even reopen threads on-screen.
I recently set up a second Mac mini (a Tahoe machine for backwards compatibility of my CLIs) and Codex Remote voice mode guided me through the process of setting up a Comet Remote KVM while I was wearing AirPods. While speaking to Codex on my iPhone, it operated a connected Fingerbot and told me what cables to attach and how. Honestly felt like the future. (Pictured: a Linux Mini PC Codex also set up for me.)
(My second favorite as an iOS user: T3 Code on iOS by @theo and team. Super smooth onboarding flow with T3 Connect and I love the multi-harness nature of it. Wish it had a voice mode!)
Some wishes for Codex Remote:
- Home Screen widgets to launch Codex Remote and its voice mode
- Proper integrations with iOS frameworks (Reminders, Calendar, etc.)
- Integration with Files app (mount local iOS folders)
Overall, probably my favorite iOS feature in a long time. Nothing else quite like it right now.
Our new Dell 52" 6k Ultra Wide feels like a full wall of display. Works great in Omarchy over a single thunderbolt cable for charging and display. But I still can't ditch the multi-agent command center bottom screen to help manage herdr while I multi-task.
You probably hate tab switching. Understandable.
You can now open any @googledrive Doc, Sheet, or Slide right inside ChatGPT and work side by side without switching tabs.

Jensen Huang says the semiconductor industry, about $1.51 trillion in sales this year, needs to be five to 10 times larger than it is:
"I believe we probably need our semiconductor industry to be somewhere between five to 10 times larger than it is."
"Over the course of the next 10 years."
"It is way too small today... which is the reason why memory is such shortage and storage is such shortage and optical interconnects are short and packaging is short."
"Everything is in such short supply because it's not a cyclical nature. It's not demand from consumers."
"It's fundamental infrastructure related."
"I think we need to build up the whole industry several more times."
Five times $1.51 trillion is $7.6 trillion. Ten times is $15 trillion, and that is what Huang thinks the next decade of AI infrastructure requires rather than what he is forecasting will arrive.
Memory alone is forecast to more than triple this year, to over $800 billion. Anyone sizing AI capacity off today's supply is working from a base Huang calls several times too small.

Been testing Grok Bot the last week. It's a great tool
Best integration of local agent work/cloud agent work I've seen so far
Also best way I've seen of building multi agent fleets really easily
Highly recommend starting off by brain dumping everything about yourself into Grok. Then asking "what can you do to improve my life/workflows?"
It has an EXCELLENT recommendations system that can spin up tasks and routines based on what it knows about you
Very simple and clean mobile app too
Definitely worth trying out
Here is EVERY AI tool you need to be using in August 2026
I've personally used each for 100+
If you master them and use them all, you'll be a productivity MACHINE
The list of the tools are down below. How to use each is in the video!
• Best planning model: Fable 5 medium- smartest model out there. Use it to do all your ideation and planning
• Best execution model: ChatGPT 5.6 sol medium- best bang for your buck. TONS of usage and incredibly smart
• Best AI tool: ChatGPT Voice: the future of interfacing with technology
• Best AI agent harness: ChatGPT Desktop app- can do anything any other AI agent can do, but does it better
• Best model for building UI/UX/games: Claude Code w/ Claude Opus 5- this model gets a lot of hate. Some of it warranted, most of it not. NOTHING beats Opus 5 for UI
• Local model: Qwen 3.6 27b on DGX Spark- best speed and intelligence ratio in local AI
• Other must have tools: Buzz from Jack Dorsey. The future of AI is multiplayer, and this is the first true multiplayer AI platform out there
astra is a powerful model and we are working to make it generally available.
we do not think it is a good strategy to keep powerful models to a chosen few.
given its cyber capabilities, we need a little big longer to do do this safely. but hopefully not too long!
You can just ask Codex with GPT-5.6 Sol the wildest things and it will just do it.
I talk to it for 5 minutes straight with things that just seem to require weeks of work, get up to get something in the fridge, pet the dog, come back and ... it's done.
I’ve been working towards AGI my whole life, and as we enter this pivotal moment, I’m stepping into a new role as Chair of Google DeepMind & Chief Scientist of Alphabet. This will allow me to focus on long-term strategy, and accelerating scientific breakthroughs, including leaning into my work at Isomorphic to help cure disease.
I’m excited that @koraykv will be stepping up to lead GDM as SVP, alongside @joshwoodward and our exec team. I could not be more excited and confident about our amazing next chapter! 🚀

Ilya Sutskever’s company is going to release a model in August. I took another look at their website. They state it very clearly: their only goal, their only mission, is to develop superintelligence. That is their sole focus.
In that sense, this model release will be far more than “just” another model release. In some form, they must have achieved superintelligence if we take their statement seriously.
"SSI [Safe Superintelligence] is our mission, our name, and our entire product roadmap, because it is our sole focus. Our team, investors, and business model are all aligned to achieve SSI."
Most people fight seeing what’s true when it’s not what they want it to be. That’s bad, because it is more important to understand and deal with the bad stuff since the good stuff will take care of itself.
