@garrytan How early? I was up at 3:30. Been twiddlimg my thumbs.

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

Bruh, we can’t use all the resets. I am trying hard. xHigh fast for everything and still can’t use it up.

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Codex usage limits will be fully reset again in the next hour and we will credit one additional reset into your bank for your own usage over the next 24 hours.

We investigated reports that Codex usage was being consumed faster than expected. There wasn't one central issue, but a few smaller problems compounded for some users.

Here's what we found and changed:
- Actual usage: Auto-review had become more proactive, another change was triggering more subagent work, and background suggestions could run twice or retry too frequently after failures. We reverted the changes and fixed suggestion scheduling, duplicate generation, and retry behavior. This should reduce unnecessary background token consumption while preserving the work users explicitly request.
- Usage reporting: Auto-review was incorrectly appearing as GPT‑5.4 usage, and failed or rate-limited requests were still shown as turns. Auto-review now appears as its own category, and only successful requests count toward the turn graphs. Rate-limited requests were never charged, but they were being displayed incorrectly.
- Immediate relief: We reset usage limits while rolling out the fixes, then shipped hotfixes across the CLI, desktop app, and usage backend.
- What to expect: New usage data should be clearer and actual consumption should be lower. Historical charts may still show auto-review under GPT‑5.4 because older turn data was not relabeled. Features that intentionally perform more work; such as /goal, subagents, and higher reasoning levels will still naturally use more capacity.

All fixes are now deployed, and we've added more detailed monitoring so we can detect background-usage regressions sooner. We'll continue watching the results closely.

Thank you for building and doing all sorts of things with Codex.

Ship first. Pump later.

[Jinlong Ji @ji_jji_1987]

Let’s ship 🚀🚀🚀

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

No it’s not the heat wave killing people. It’s the lack of air con. Completely avoidable situation in a first-world continent.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: WHO chief Tedros announces Europe’s heatwave has been linked to more than 1,300 deaths since June 21.

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

@mikepat711 Would love it. We have three Teslas and two drivers. Household subscription would be amazing. I am in the middle of deciding which car should be removed from the FSD sub since paying for three makes no sense.

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

Yeah ok 🙄

[Paweł Huryn @PawelHuryn]

I don't buy the safety story. Not from the labs, not from the government.

Fable, gone. Mythos, gone. Then all of GPT-5.6, down to Luna, the cheap everyday model for summarizing and drafting.

A summarizer is not a cyber weapon. But cheap intelligence is the one thing that lets everyone else catch up. So they locked it down too.

It was never about security. It's about who gets the frontier, and who stays behind.

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

So much hyperventilating. My goodness.

[🍓🍓🍓 @iruletheworldmo]

it’s looks like the era of us living on the bleeding edge of frontier is over.

if these models are being taken away, we’re on the steepest part of the curve.

i know for a fact that the newer versions, mythos 5.1 and gpt 5.7 let’s say. are as significant a jump as mythos was.

sadly our access to such models will be an ever receding point.

this is terrible for society and safety.

sam’s entire philosophy has always been to democratise ai and ensure the frontier is making contact with the public so we can figure this out together.

if the next model we get our hands on is gpt 10, this would be an absolute societal disaster for so many reasons.

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

A few weeks delay doesn’t mean “dark era”. Just chill. Keep building with the models you got now which you were quite happy with just a couple weeks ago.

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

I'm afraid we've entered a dark era in AI model development and access.

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

Why are all these people throwing a hissy fit about a few weeks delay?

[Pedro Gomes @pedrouid]

US limiting access to GPT-5.6 and Fable 5.0 is going down as one of the stupidest moments in tech history

Tech will always evolve faster than policies can adapt

In a year from now we will look at these models as weak

Just picture yourself using today GPT-4.5 or Opus 4.1

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

Sure. As soon as we have it.

[Romain Huet @romainhuet]

Hello, GPT-5.6!

Excited to see what people build with Sol, Terra, and Luna.

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

This summer @OpenAI finally gets back into the led. Bye bye @AnthropicAI .

[Sam Altman @sama]

oh and also...750 token/sec coming to 5.6 sol in july!

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

@growing_daniel Of course. We just want Sol!

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

Anthropic is dead.

[Lisan al Gaib @scaling01]

GPT-5.6 Pricing:
- Sol: $5 / $30
- Terra: $2.5 / $15
- Luna: $1 / $6

OpenAI will also launch GPT-5.6 on Cerebras at up to 750 tokens/s in July

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

@wholemars If you have to ask …

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

Wow!

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

NEW: Survey reveals 66% of Democrats now view socialism favorably, compared to 42% for capitalism.

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

@elonmusk is no longer a trillionaire. Can we stop thinking of ways to spend his paper wealth?

[Whole Mars Catalog @wholemars]

The federal government must reimburse Elon Musk. He just lost $400 billion, more than any person in history.

If we want to tax unrealized gains, we must also start paying people when they have unrealized losses. This plan will fund free dental care for every child in Vietnam.

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

Ok, should've watched the full video. It sounds like @chamath is now learning the lesson from @elonmusk .

I take it back.

https://t.co/XOqDzOp7sU

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

So @chamath is saying he’s a mid?

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

This dude’s parents escaped the learned helplessness of the “mai baap” socialist economy run by the political elites in India - the Gandhis - and now that he married into money he hopes to be one of those elites running a politburo where he decides who gets to keep how much money.

Ro, I hope your parents are disappointed in your socialist turn.

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

@RoKhanna @friedberg @sama Is it a surprise that a dude who married into money doesn’t understand how wealth is created?

[Nirav Patel @patnrv]

So @chamath is saying he’s a mid?

[Boring_Business @BoringBiz_]

Probably the realest thing I have heard Chamath say

"Possessions are BS. They are worthless. They are a sign of insecurity, a rampant ego, and an unsettled mind. And that is okay if you are going to be a mid."
