A picture may be worth a thousand words, but editing one shouldn’t take a thousand-word prompt. Point at a character. Erase what should disappear. Comment where the title should change. Here’s the new image editing workflow in ChatGPT and Codex on desktop.

Looking for recommendations for power banks My MacBook pro 14" lasts ~3 hours on a full charge, and I like the flexibility of working from cafes where I might be without an outlet Ideally something with 2ish full charges of power and will fit in my backpack. Don't care if it's a little heavy. ChatGPT is recommending I get 2 power banks, but that seems cumbersome Anyone have a solution for this that they like?

OpenAI is composed of so many wonderful people like @jxnlco who are kind, creative, & extremely ambitious And the culture encourages and rewards those who experiment and even lean into themselves Sometimes this leads to people rowing in different directions. But more often it leads to incredible breakthroughs and creative peaks In just 6 months, I've seen so many people join and quickly be doing the greatest work of their lives -- beyond even what they assumed they were capable of If you're interested in joining our mission, please apply!

one of the most beautiful things about OpenAI is that every employee really has a voice. i wanted to capture what it feels like to work here, what our mission means to me, and why you should join us. so i made this video with Codex, shared it with the team, and they felt it was worth producing and sharing with the world. this is our mission. and it’s why i’m here.

for the last few months i have been working on long running persistent agents. i believe this is the next paradigm shifting product after chatgpt and codex. there are a number of challenges, and i'm currently writing a longer post with some learnings & thoughts on why i believe the next big unlock is solving theory of mind loose thoughts: - the next paradigm-shifting product after chatgpt and codex is the persistent personal/work agent - the blocker to making such agents is that our models can't "read the room" - reading the room sounds soft but it's deep theory of mind - reading the room is the difference between talking to a bot and talking to an embodied identity you can trust to accomplish tasks and communicate with your colleagues - reading the room an understanding of who "your person" is, their desires and motivations, and who your audience is - concretely, it's tracking what i know vs what my user knows vs what the room knows. information asymmetry as a first-class skill - part of this is understanding compartmentalization. enterprises call this tenting and workspace isolation. "if my user is part of this tent, don't divulge information in a broad channel that's not also tented" - if i give a friend my home address, i trust them not to announce it in a room of a thousand people. I do not yet trust a model to exercise that same discretion. - harnesses like openclaw keep trying to solve this at the application layer with permissions, workspace isolation, context injection, and increasingly elaborate agent harnesses. necessary for now, but this likely futile as the final answer. discretion has to live in the model - side effect: this is also part of why model writing reads as slop. good writing is meeting your audience where they are. same missing skill tldr: persistent agents live or die on reading the room, and theory of mind may be one of the last major gaps before agi

GPT-5.6 Sol, running in Codex, helped make GPT-5.6 cheaper to run. It rewrote production GPU kernels and helped improve the smaller model used to speed up generation. Kernel improvements helped cut end-to-end serving costs by 20%.

ChatGPT Voice has 100% transformed how I work Instead of spending 12+ hours a day at my desk, I now spend at most 2 The rest is outside in nature. Picture below is me hiking this morning, getting WAY more done then I ever have at my desk You need to be using it right tho Here are my best tips for getting the most out of Voice: 1. Use it to delegate, not actually do the work. Every command you give to your Voice agent, ask it to spin up a new thread and have another agent do the work. Voice is powered by a lower intelligence model. By delegating tasks, it gives the task to 5.6 Sol and allows your Voice agent to free up time to keep working with you 2. Frequently ask for status updates on all the work it delegates. I have found a higher silent failure rate than I'd like with delegate agents. By forcing your Voice/chief of staff agent to constantly check in on delegate agents, you can assure they are on top of their work 3. 'Spruce' is the best voice. Most pleasant to talk to 4. When on the go, frequently ask your Voice agent to create HTML sites for research/tasks it does. This way when you get back to your computer you have well designed HTML sites explaining work your agent got done. 5. My favorite new routine is waking up at 6:00am, chugging water, putting on my weighted vest, grabbing my phone and airpods, getting outside, booting up the Voice Agent, then brain dumping everything on my mind about what I need to get done that day. The Voice agent then proceeds to spin up 10-15 new threads/agents to start tackling all of that work. By the time the clock hits 7:00am, I already have more work done than I was getting done in a full 8 hour work day before AI. Steal this routine I'm probably the biggest power user of ChatGPT Voice outside of OpenAI employees. Truly blown away by this tech If you take these tips and get the most out of Voice, I promise your productivity will 100x

We're introducing two new transcription models in the API: • GPT-Live-Transcribe: built for low-latency live transcription. • GPT-Transcribe: optimized for asynchronous transcription of completed audio files and batch workloads. Both models better understand context and deliver more accurate transcription on real world audio across accents and languages, including for short phrases, numbers, specialized terminology, and speech with loud background noise.

The fact that I can go do something else while remotely controlling ChatGPT working on my laptop still feels a little insane. Love this era where ChatGPT and I can both cook at the same time!
