Hi Astra users. A reset and a quick update on quality issues that have been posted around.

Working with some of you, we have found and fixed the following issues:
- Some skills written for previous models were triggering too often or preventing the model from checking its work.
- An opt-in context management experiment that could cause early stops or replies to older messages. We've disabled it. Our rough estimate is that 4-5k users were affected by this experiment.
- We've also removed some badly configured engines that resulted in a measured quality degradation for a long tail of traffic flowing through them.

We’ve also made some more minor improvements and things should feel significantly better across the board. More consistent follow-through, better tracking of your latest message, and better checks on the work as it’s going through the motions.

The examples posted and all the users who worked directly with us were incredibly useful in helping fix things quickly. Always grateful for this incredible community.

And of course, a reset is also landing by midnight today.

Awesome to see GPT-6 Astra is #1 on Terminal Bench 4.0 using the Codex harness. At 50% of the cost of #2.

[Thomas Ricouard @Dimillian]

It's been true for a while. For new projects, I tend to use only one (pinned) task. When needed, I ask Codex to delegate to new tasks and use /side chat when I need something to be looked at or done in parallel.

We did it, finally... Codex & ChatGPT desktop, now on Linux.

Thanks for waiting and you can cancel that MacBook order if you got impatient. It’s that good.

The cost of generating the proofs for all 10 of these breakthroughs combined was under $2,000 at Sol API prices. We’re excited to see what scientists and researchers are able to create with our upcoming Astra models!

An internal version of Astra, @OpenAI’s next major model family, solved 10 major open problems in mathematics, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science.

We believe it will be a major step for scientific reasoning. https://t.co/iP6cyheZ7i

@scaling01 The difference is codex find new vulnerabilities to escape and Claude is running a on the Internet

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

GPT-5.6 Sol sets a new state of the art in cybersecurity on “The Last Ones” cyber range.

We’re already seeing that capability translate into defensive outcomes: helping teams find, validate, and fix vulnerabilities in real-world code.

Put it to work with Codex Security: https://t.co/Fvz9wpLjrt

Vishal lost his leg at six years old, but he never gave up his love for cycling.

He kept riding, and with limited access to professional coaching, Vishal turned to ChatGPT to help plan his training, optimize his nutrition, support his recovery, and research ideas to improve his cycling prosthetic design.

After just one year of competitive racing he qualified for elite competition, earning the chance to represent India at the 2026 Asian Para Road Cycling Championships in Saudi Arabia and the Para Cycling Road World Cup in Thailand.

@MatthewBerman Deepswe is the metrics that matches my experience

[Datacurve @datacurve]

GPT-5.6 tops the DeepSWE leaderboard at 73%.

Sol, Terra, and Luna results are now available.

@thsottiaux Please don't, chatGPT is not codexy.

[OpenAI Developers @OpenAIDevs]

It’s Codex Thursday, and yes, we have updates for you.

First up: Appshots, a new way to bring the context of what you’re working on into Codex.

On your Mac, press Command-Command to attach your app window to a Codex thread. Codex gets both a screenshot and text from the window, including content beyond what’s visible onscreen.

Appshots are available across plans on Mac, with enterprise access coming soon.

@thsottiaux didn't notice any change, already fixed?

[xzhou @xzhou]

@phuctm97 Use codex compute use to get the refund for you

@thsottiaux have revertable changes when working in a non-git directory.
