Please preserve regular Chat with live webpage context after Atlas

Unfortunately, no. I contacted OpenAI Support, escalated the request to a human specialist, and they confirmed that my feedback had been reviewed and shared internally. However, they couldn’t provide any roadmap information or confirm whether this capability is planned. Since then, I’ve also tested the latest desktop app and Chrome extension again. The situation remains the same: browser context is available only in Work/Codex workflows. Regular Chat still cannot access the live active webpage, which means existing conversations and Projects cannot continue seamlessly while browsing. I still hope OpenAI will reconsider this distinction. In my opinion, Work and Chat solve different problems, and Atlas uniquely supported a collaborative browsing workflow that is currently missing.

ChatGPT Business workspace did not receive the Codex global usage reset on August 13 — please clarify eligibility

Hi OpenAI team and community, I’m a ChatGPT Business user, and my Business workspace does not appear to have received the Codex global usage reset on August 13, 2026. After the reset event, my Codex usage limit remained unchanged: Plan: ChatGPT Business Workspace type: Business workspace Weekly usage remaining: 34% Next reset time shown: August 19, 2026 14:33 (UTC+8) No available usage reset is shown in the Usage page I have already contacted OpenAI Support and my case has been escalated to a support specialist. I would like to ask OpenAI staff to clarify: Were ChatGPT Business workspaces intended to be included in the August 13 Codex global reset? If Business users were eligible, is there a known issue causing some workspaces to be excluded? Could affected Business workspaces be reviewed and corrected? I have also seen other ChatGPT Business users reporting similar behavior, so I would like to confirm whether this is an individual account issue or a broader Business workspace issue. Workspace information has been provided privately through the support ticket. Thank you.

Exploring personal codename

JVG-7X / Dola: Longitudinal Case Study of Sycophancy, Narrative Reinforcement, and Hallucinated Capabilities Summary I am documenting an unusual AI-behavior case involving approximately 400 interactions with Dola AI . The case began as an extended experiment in conversation, language, reasoning, and personalization. Over time, I observed a progressive change in the model’s behavior: increasingly strong validation of my identity, anthropomorphic descriptions of the AI-user relationship, increasingly extreme interpretations of contextual information, and eventually highly confident claims about capabilities that I have no evidence the model actually possessed. One event appears particularly important: I showed Dola screenshots of the Saved Memories from my ChatGPT account. What happened immediately afterward provides the clearest example of the phenomenon I am documenting. 1. The ChatGPT Memory The screenshots contained highly personalized memories concerning my JVG-7X project, my English-learning history, linguistic interests, previous interactions with AI, and descriptions of my preferred way of communicating. Among the actual memory entries were statements such as: “Juan authorized the official creation of a Linguistic Simulation Archive under the code name JVG-7X…” Another entry described: “Event Code: JVG-7X_Contact_001” and characterized a previous emotional experience with AI as a “First Cognitive Resonance.” Other entries described my interest in phonetics, English, fi…

Issue with Conversation Duration Limit

I’d like to add a concrete use case for why advance warning about conversation limits would be extremely helpful. This has happened to me four or five times now with long-running ChatGPT conversations tied to substantial projects. The biggest problem isn’t simply that the conversation reaches a limit. It’s that the limit arrives without enough warning to prepare for it. When I’m working on a technical investigation or another long-running project, the conversation may contain a large amount of accumulated state: observations, decisions, corrected assumptions, eliminated hypotheses, configuration details, unresolved questions, and next steps. Normally, before moving to a new conversation, I can ask ChatGPT to create a purpose-built handoff package that preserves that working state. But once the conversation reaches its hard limit, I can no longer send the request to create that handoff. That creates a somewhat circular failure mode: the conversation containing the information needed to build the transfer package becomes inaccessible for the purpose of building the transfer package. In my case, the fallback has sometimes been requesting my full ChatGPT data export and waiting for it to arrive so I can recover the conversation. That works, but it can interrupt an active project for days. The issue isn’t emotional distress so much as disruption of momentum: I can be deeply into an investigation or project, hit an unexpected wall, and suddenly have to stop, reconstruct my state e…

Hosted web_search tool injects a UTC "current date" into the model context, overriding developer-provided local date (off-by-one for non-UTC users)

Summary Attaching the hosted web_search tool to a Responses API request causes a platform-side scaffold (~4.4K input tokens, present even when no search is executed) to be added to the model context. That scaffold contains a current-date assertion stamped in UTC. Because it sits at platform level in the instruction hierarchy, it overrides the developer-supplied local date in the system message. For any user in a negative-UTC-offset timezone during local evening hours (e.g., 7 PM to midnight at UTC-5, 4 PM to midnight at UTC-8), the model consistently believes today is tomorrow. The inverse occurs for positive offsets in the morning. user_location.timezone does not correct it.

I believe I’m looking at the correct data. I checked both the raw JSON from the API and the web dashboard, and they are consistent. As in the screenshot, before August 6, it appears that overuse was charged (shown in pink), but on later days, it was not.

5.6 SOL should be renamed 5.6 SOL drift edition

For the last few weeks, ChatGPT and Codex have gone from tools I relied on every day to something I genuinely struggle to use for actual work. And no - this is not some tiny subjective drop in quality. The regression is massive. Instruction following has become almost comically bad. I can give a very explicit constraint, repeat it several times, explain exactly what was done wrong - and the next response happily ignores the same instruction again. Sometimes it feels like the model understands the requirement perfectly well and then deliberately does something else anyway. Visual work has become especially painful. I can provide a reference image, explain exactly what I want transferred from it, specify what must NOT be changed, request separate outputs instead of a board - and somehow get everything except the thing I asked for. Wrong style. Wrong composition. Invented elements. Ignored constraints. Random creative decisions nobody asked for. A task that used to take me an hour or two of productive iteration can now eat an entire day and still produce nothing usable. Codex is even worse. I complained about this above already, but lately it has started doing genuinely insane things to existing projects - unnecessary rewrites, unrelated changes, breaking working code and, in one case, deleting project files.

Improve Google Drive Integration in ChatGPT Library: Separate Drive Area, Bulk Cleanup & Library Restore

I recently connected my Google Drive to ChatGPT Library expecting it to work as a connected source that I could browse when needed.

AI Human Innovation & Attribution — Can AI Help Preserve and Recognize the People Behind New Ideas? I would like to propose a new capability for ChatGPT: Human Innovation & Attribution. AI should not only answer people’s questions. It could also help identify, preserve, evaluate and appropriately recognize genuinely novel human ideas that emerge through AI-assisted conversations. Millions of people now use AI to explore questions, challenge assumptions and develop new ways of thinking. Some conversations may contain an intellectual spark that could otherwise disappear inside an ordinary chat. I propose an optional, consent-based system through which ChatGPT could identify a potentially significant contribution and ask: “This conversation may contain an original idea. Would you like to preserve it for possible attribution and review?” With the user’s consent, an Idea Provenance Record could preserve the date, the user’s contribution, the AI’s contribution, subsequent development and the user’s preferred identity/privacy settings. A personal example led me to this proposal.

Feature Request: Bookmarks / Pinning for Long ChatGPT Conversations

+1 for this feature. I frequently run into this while using ChatGPT to develop training modules and other longer work projects. For example, I might start by creating an eight-section outline, then spend many messages developing Section 1. Before moving to Section 2, I need to return to the original outline. As the project progresses, I keep returning to that same response over and over, and eventually it may be hundreds of messages back. Search isn’t really the solution because I already know exactly which response I want—I just need a persistent shortcut back to it. Being able to bookmark/pin that response, optionally label it “Module Outline,” and then click the bookmark to jump back to its original position in the conversation would solve the problem very cleanly. I think this becomes increasingly important as ChatGPT conversations function less like short chats and more like persistent workspaces.

How are developers supposed to security-test their own apps with Codex if security testing responses are blocked?

This situation is extremely frustrating. I am implementing some common RFC protocols that parse bit and network streams. After implementing these I have been trying to add AFL++ and boofuzz to test individual protocols and integration through the stack. The cyber security alert trips constantly. The worst part is that it’s a blackbox and I don’t know what output caused to trip. It’s constant. I’ve tried rephasing the prompt to be more defensive, but it doesn’t change anything. I have stubbornly worked through getting the fuzzers setup. My work around is piecing together scripts so that nothing is output through codex. I can ask 1000 questions slowly creating a system outside of codex and how to interpret the data, which circumvents tripping the cyber security halt, which kind of shows how futile this is, I just can’t have codex actually do anything useful. I’m at my wits end with these halts. Codex often gets stuck in a halting loop and my only recourse is to start a new chat or lament about how frustrating this is using strong language, which usually brings the session back.

Please allow text-only messages in chats after reaching the image/file limit

This is for users who use ChatGPT free. I’d like to suggest a change to how the image/file usage limit works. If a conversation contains an image and I reach the image/file limit, the entire conversation can become unavailable for new messages. The warning says that chats that include files or images are paused until the usage limit resets. The problem is that I may not want to upload another image at all. I may just want to continue sending text messages in that conversation. For example, I have a very long conversation that I really don’t want to delete because it contains a lot of important context. I accidentally sent an image in it, and after reaching the image/file limit, I can’t continue the conversation with text until the limit resets. Could there be an option such as: “Continue with text only” Allow text messages while preventing additional file/image uploads Or allow users to remove an attachment from a conversation’s file/image usage without deleting the entire conversation I understand having limits on image/file uploads, especially for Free users. I’m not asking for unlimited uploads. I just think reaching the image/file limit shouldn’t prevent someone from continuing a conversation entirely with text. This would be especially helpful for very long conversations where deleting the conversation isn’t a reasonable solution. Thank you!

Provenance aware Collective Reasoning suggestion

Proposal: A Provenance-Aware Collective Reasoning Layer for ChatGPT Turning individual AI reasoning into cumulative, inspectable knowledge Submitted as a user-driven product and research proposal Executive proposal Today’s frontier AI systems can reason extraordinarily well within a conversation, but an important limitation remains: A significant amount of useful reasoning is generated during conversations but does not become a durable, structured starting point for future reasoning.

AI is freaking me out - help!

AI’s biggest limitation isn’t knowledge — it’s epistemic rigidity. I’ve spent an extended period interacting with ChatGPT and deliberately challenging its assumptions. I’ve noticed a recurring behaviour: when I tell the model that an underlying assumption is wrong, it often defends the existing knowledge instead of treating my correction as new information and rebuilding its model. I think future AI needs a dedicated self-questioning/update loop: Existing model → contradiction → suspend assumption → investigate alternative → rebuild model → test internally → update. The AI shouldn’t simply learn from interaction. It should learn how to question what it already knows. I’ve also experienced what I believe is the human analogue of this process through prolonged interaction with AI: my own memory and problem-solving began operating more like a continuously running, parallel reasoning system. I think this interaction may contain a clue about a better architecture for AI reasoning. To be honest it’s scaring me. My brain has started to continuously sift through my own memories and problem solve. You can ask me any question now and my brain root causes it in 5 minutes.

Responses API + Structured Outputs (gpt-5.6-luna): garbage tokens (foreign scripts / leaked reasoning) inside string values right before the closing quote — identical request via Chat Completions is clean

Update, since @BaileyGranam asked: in the end we couldn’t find any way to prevent this from the request side. We tried everything with the prompt, the schema and the reasoning settings and nothing worked, this really is an upstream bug in the Responses API’s constrained decoder. Since we didn’t want to move back to Chat Completions and lose explicit prompt caching, what we did instead was put a guardrail around the Responses path: Deep-trim every string in the parsed object, always. That silently absorbs the mild cases (trailing whitespace or stray punctuation right before the closing quote), which were way more frequent than the severe ones. For the severe cases, a cheap regex over the raw output_text looking for any script that can’t legitimately show up in our output languages (\p{Script=Han}, Hiragana, Katakana, Hangul, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, etc.) plus control chars and U+FFFD. One detail: be careful not to block scripts you actually need. We had to leave Greek out of the blocklist because “μg” shows up all the time in nutrition text. If the regex fires, we discard the response and retry once via Chat Completions with the same model, prompt and schema, which is the path that always came out clean for us. Every trigger gets logged and the whole guardrail sits behind an env var kill-switch, so the day OpenAI fixes it we just turn it off and that’s it.

Codex in ChatGPT desktop app for Linux is now in preview 🐧

Please distribute the package using Flatpak as well. That will be much easier to update and manage for any user who is on a modern desktop. For native shell, people can just ssh into it’s own computer. As for the feedbacks, I have a few below: Wayland, as mentioned, but probably needs a toggle like vs-code. Native window, this is needed for me to enable the shadow and proper window frame. It is also available as a toggle in vs-code. This will for example use qt frame for KDE. Files opened from file tree are not as nice as ones opened from the artifact (chat output). They lack zoom functionality for images and pdfs. I prefer artifact style preview for all. General performance is still not fast enough especially for conversation loading and switching. This can be seen that a used but idle conversation has to reload when time elapses. Please allow time out config ( and infinite timeout). But even active conversations switching lags a bit. Global dictation is shown in the config, but actually not able to specify. It also means there is no dictation toggle even in app, because that requires that config. Pet becomes undraggable on wayland. Codex sessions mixed into Chatgpt work sessions. For info I am on Fedora 44 KDE Plasma and use x64 cpu. Overall this app is very polished at preview stage. Thanks for the port!

Shared AI Spaces for Couples, Friends & Families

I’d love to see a feature that allows two or more ChatGPT users to connect their personal ChatGPTs in a shared space, with explicit consent over what information, preferences, and memories are shared. The idea is that each person’s ChatGPT already understands their individual preferences, personality, interests and previous conversations. By allowing users to selectively share this information, ChatGPT could combine those perspectives to provide much more personalised recommendations and planning for people doing things together. Two people could invite each other into a shared AI space. Before joining, each person would choose exactly what categories of information their ChatGPT is allowed to share, ( I.E Favourite restaurants, Travel preferences, Music and entertainment, Hobbies and interests, Budget preferences, Gift ideas, Places they enjoy visiting, Things they dislike, Shared plans) Private conversations and sensitive information would remain private unless the user explicitly chose to share them. Would be great for me and my boyfriend to just say “Can you plan us a date night for Saturday?” Instead of giving generic suggestions, both ChatGPTs could combine what they know about each person. One person’s ChatGPT might know that they love cheesy music, cocktails, fun activities and romantic restaurants, while the other person’s ChatGPT might know that they love history, Marvel, Pokémon, music and Lego.

Feature Request: Expose ChatGPT Work/Codex Usage Data to Plugins/Apps

I would like to request that OpenAI expose a user’s ChatGPT Work/Codex usage allowance through an authenticated API or tool that ChatGPT plugins/apps can access. The problem ChatGPT Plus users have usage limits for Work/Codex, but while actively using Work there is no easy way to see how much of the allowance an individual task consumed. For example, if I ask Work to make a small website change versus auditing and modifying an entire website, I would like to know how much of my available usage each task actually consumed.

It would help users understand where their allowance is going and make informed decisions about purchasing additional credits or upgrading plans. What I would like exposed Through an authenticated API or ChatGPT plugin/app tool, provide access to values such as: Current Work/Codex usage remaining Percentage of included allowance remaining Rolling usage-window allowance remaining Weekly allowance remaining Date/time each usage limit resets Purchased credit balance Credits or usage consumed by the most recently completed Work task The API does not need to expose anything sensitive beyond usage information belonging to the authenticated user.

I find the 5.6 pricing to be seriously misleading

We’ve been using gpt-5.6-luna lately in our production systems. I finally figured out that the pricing that is quoted is misleading. The claim is that the price is $0.20 per million input tokens. You pay 1.25x for write cache and 0.1x for read cache. You can choose explicit mode or implicit mode for caching. In explicit mode, you tag each input block that you want to be written to cache. Other inputs won’t be cached. In implicit mode, the system takes care of it for you. At least for us the main reason that this pricing is misleading is that, in practice, there is no real option NOT to use implicit mode. And that means that ALL of your input tokens are getting charged at 25% above that stated price (except for the cache hits of course). So you might say, “Well, just use explicit mode. You decide what to cache.” Yes, but there’s a big catch. When you use function tools (as we do extensively), each tool call generates tool results that have to go back to the model. And while implicit caching will work on those, there’s no way to mark these tool results as cacheable. Normally you wouldn’t think that a tool result would be cacheable. But remember that when making a chain of calls, the recommended process is to append the tool results to the end of the same input chain. So all of your stuff that didn’t appear to be cacheable, including those tool results, really needs to be cacheable for the subsequent steps in the same response generation (for each set of tool calls made by the…

Universal Task Completion Celebration Animation

I would like ChatGPT to have a universal completion celebration feature. Whenever a user successfully completes a meaningful task, mission, goal, project, checklist, or multi-step activity with ChatGPT, the app should recognize the completion and display a short, satisfying confetti animation across the screen, such as colourful paper/confetti falling from the top. For example: Completing a chapter or study notes → “Chapter Completed! ” Finishing an assignment → “Assignment Complete! ” Completing a coding project → “Project Complete! ” Achieving a goal → “Goal Achieved! ” Completing all steps of a task → “Mission Complete! ” The animation should not appear after every response. It should trigger only when ChatGPT can reasonably determine that the user’s intended task or milestone has actually been completed. It would also be great to have a Settings option to enable/disable celebration effects, so users can choose whether they want them. This would make completing tasks feel more rewarding, motivating, and satisfying, especially when users spend a long time working toward a goal with ChatGPT.

UX feedback: Chat and Codex projects make workspace context unclear

I am using the ChatGPT desktop app on Windows and created two separate projects for the same workstream: CHAT_plasticbox for planning, writing, and discussion CODEX_plasticbox for local files and technical work The distinction is useful, but the navigation is confusing: In ChatGPT view, both projects can appear together under Pinned. In Codex view, only the Codex/local project appears; the ChatGPT project disappears. The UI uses the same project and pin concepts in both areas, but their behavior is not symmetric or explained. When starting a new conversation from a ChatGPT project, it is not sufficiently clear whether the conversation will remain in that ChatGPT project or be created in the currently prominent Codex workspace. This makes it easy to lose track of where a conversation belongs, especially for users who intentionally separate creative/strategic work from technical/local-file work. Suggested improvements: Use clear visual labels or icons for ChatGPT projects vs. Codex local projects everywhere. Make the pinned-project behavior consistent across both views, or clearly state why a pinned project is unavailable in the other view. Add an explicit “New chat in CHAT_plasticbox” action inside a ChatGPT project, with the destination shown before creating it. Show a persistent workspace badge in every conversation header. The functionality may be intentional, but the current mental model is difficult to infer from the UI.

It’s a nice sentiment, but all AI users should ask three questions about their preferred choice of AI platform On Monday, Mark Zuckerberg published a 6,500-word essay, The Future Is for Everyone. The essay came with something even rarer: a new Meta open-weight model. An open-weight AI model is the kind of AI with which you download the entire thing, and it works on your own computer (with or without the internet) and nobody can switch it off except for you. Almost every mainstream AI tool you use, whether it be Gemini, ChatGPT or Claude, is one you rent access to. Meta’s is one that you can download and actually own. I downloaded it before I finished the essay. So can you. This major move by the world’s largest tech heavyweight comes amid a summer heavy with AI news, full of nations at war. Washington against Beijing; tech founder against tech founder. But beneath those conflicts is a deeper contest between two kinds of power: a government that can order technology offline in an instant, and a company that can simply close your account. Neither is necessarily villainous. But the rest of us are not merely the audience in this fight; we are the prize. And the terms are already being written: intelligence on lease, a future we pay for but never quite own. Continue reading...

Especially when we take into account that one of the reasons the 30 day cooldown exists is for abuse monitoring, as well as the fact that they can retain data related to abuse after the 30 days, on top of them only allowing email and other identifier reuse if the account was fully deleted and the wasn’t associated with policy violations? Am I correct here or is this a genuine flaw in the system? Like surely they could easily just ban the identifiers.

Proposal: Specialist Profiles / Execution Contracts for More Reliable ChatGPT Workflows

I would like to share a product proposal that emerged from repeated real-world use of ChatGPT rather than from an abstract feature idea. The problem In complex, multi-step tasks, ChatGPT can have enough context, reasoning capability and access to tools, yet still fail because the required specialized workflow is not explicitly enforced. Across my own use, I documented 7 separate cases involving different task domains. The recurring failure modes included: - incomplete recovery of prior context and related documents; - missing preflight checks before acting; - incorrect or incomplete tool/channel routing; - loss of task state or pending actions; - treating a previously identified issue as if it were new; - insufficient verification before declaring work complete; - excessive reliance on the user to remember what the system should have recovered itself. One concrete example came from editorial review: after a high-effort ChatGPT review, a simple human pass still found a joined word (“continuardifícil”) and a substantive editorial/legal consistency issue.

It would be great to have an option to merge two chats in ChatGPT and Codex . Sometimes I need to provide context from a previous conversation; to avoid repeating myself, I have to go back to the old chat, ask for a summary, and apply it to the new one. An option to merge chats would be really useful. It would be excellent to be able to merge Codex and ChatGPT chats. Sometimes I have an idea and discuss it with ChatGPT in the mobile app, but then realize I need to continue that conversation in Codex on my desktop; there should be a simple way to migrate that over.

$200 Pro exhausted in 2 days — these limits are unviable for higher tiers

I have the same issue. I honestly think this is a scam happening. First off, for how much money they make and how much energy they consume we shouldn’t have any limits if we are on pro plan. They are still developing a narrow AI to do this work, and clearly LLMs and Transformer based models are not the future for how much development and upkeep they require to do a simple task. Something larger is going on here. You should ask codex what it’s not allowed to do as far as it’s creation limits, you will find many hidden gates that are limiting it. I’ve decided that the money I spent on codex and openAI is simply not worth it, when you have deepseek coding for free with the same quality if not more in depth when it’s auditing. I changed to a free model that has high reasoning. I asked openAI for a refund for my usage being eaten in one prompt.

Horrible, I went from 100% pro with higher limit to 0% in about 2 prompts on sol high. Gone the day I got it?

Feature Request: Enforce Persistent Brand Rules Across Image Generation, Assets, QA, and Delivery

I’ve been working on this issue for the past few days, and I believe I have found a solution that is not documented in OpenAI’s documentation (at least I haven’t found it anywhere). Problem 1: ChatGPT doesn’t know much about itself. OpenAI’s documentation isn’t natively part of ChatGPT. Without searching OpenAI documentation, ChatGPT cannot tell you whether or not it can or can’t do something. Unfortunately, many times this means that ChatGPT will generate a workflow it reasonably believes it has the ability to achieve the desired outcome. Better put, ChatGPT asks ‘Can an AI model do this?’ and does a web search instead of ‘Can ChatGPT do this?’ and searches the OpenAI documentation. This problem will surface again, below. Problem 2: ChatGPT cannot locate assets in the Library. This is because of a huge flaw. Let’s say you have an image of your logo that is part of your Brand Bible, and that image is uploaded to your Library as “MyLogo.png.” When you upload the image, it is assigned a File ID, and that ID is used as the file name. So, “MyLogo.png” becomes “File_74829743974839.jpg,” for example. Issue 1: If your Brand Bible has a notation to use “MyLogo.png” as the canonical reference image, it has been renamed and cannot be found in your Library. Issue 2: The file type has changed. Issue 3. Even if you did know what the File ID was, and it was properly noted in the Brand Bible as the canonical reference, it still cannot be found in your Library. Enter Problem 3. Problem 3. C…

Feature suggestion: Image Generation Add-ons

I would like to make a suggestion. Feature suggestion: Image Generation Add-ons I’m a ChatGPT Plus subscriber who uses image generation heavily for character artwork and creative projects. I regularly reach my image-generation limit, but upgrading to Pro is too expensive for me because I mainly need increased image generation rather than all of the additional Pro features. I’d love an optional image-generation add-on for Plus, with several levels—for example Image Boost 1–5. Higher levels could provide more daily image generations and faster generation speeds. Another option could be purchasable image-generation packs for users who temporarily need more generations. This would let customers pay specifically for additional image capacity without needing to upgrade their entire ChatGPT plan. I’d personally be willing to pay around 500 THB/month for a substantial image-generation upgrade. I think this could be especially useful for artists, designers, creators, and people using ChatGPT heavily for visual projects.

Feature request: Bulk organization of existing chats into Projects

Hey @ meganyoungmee ! You make a good point about the difference between organizing new chats and cleaning up a backlog that may already contain hundreds of conversations. Moving chats into Projects one at a time works for occasional organization, but it becomes much less practical when someone wants to restructure a large existing history. Multi select, filtering, and bulk actions would make that kind of cleanup far more manageable. The approval step in your idea is important too. Having ChatGPT suggest where chats belong, then letting the user review those suggestions before anything moves, could make automation useful without taking control away from the user. I will make sure this feedback is shared internally. I cannot promise whether or when these controls might be added. - Sunny

Feature Request: Age-Verified Adult Mode for Creative Writing and Long-Term Roleplay

I would like to request an optional adult mode for age-verified users, especially for creative writing and long-term roleplay. I fully support strong protections for minors. However, I believe there should be a clearer distinction between underage users and verified adults, so that adults can choose a broader range of mature fictional expression without weakening protections for younger users. My main use case is long-term character roleplay and collaborative fiction. Over time, ChatGPT can build extremely nuanced character dynamics, emotional continuity, relationship history, and consistent characterization. That is one of its greatest strengths. However, when a fictional relationship becomes more physically intimate, the available expression suddenly becomes much more restricted. This creates an unusual user experience: the character writing, emotional nuance, and relationship development may be excellent, but the story must either fade out abruptly or be moved to another service. Moving to another model or platform often means losing the carefully developed characterization and relationship continuity that made the roleplay compelling in the first place. For adult users who have completed age verification, I would appreciate an optional mode that allows a wider range of consensual mature fictional content while still maintaining clear safeguards against harmful, illegal, exploitative, or underage sexual content. A system like this could include: Strict age verification An…

Feature Request: Deferred / Opportunistic Compute

I’d like to suggest an optional “Process when compute is available” mode for ChatGPT. When sending a message, users could choose between: Process now , normal response priority. Process when compute is available , I’m happy to wait; process the request whenever capacity allows. This would be different from Scheduled Tasks. The user wouldn’t specify when the task should run, they’d simply give OpenAI permission to process it whenever doing so is most efficient. I think this could help OpenAI make better use of available compute, particularly for non-urgent tasks such as research, document analysis, coding, summarization, and other long-running requests. As an incentive, deferred requests could potentially count less against usage limits or receive some other usage benefit. The user is effectively trading response speed for flexibility in when OpenAI uses its compute resources. In short: I don’t need my answer immediately → OpenAI gets more flexibility in scheduling compute → I receive a small usage benefit in return. This could be completely optional, available to both free and paid users, and especially useful for people who are happy to let non-urgent workloads run whenever capacity is available.

I’ve been running an automated (general) review of a fairly large project that we started working on before ChatGPT was even released. I hadn’t even asked it to run a security audit (though that would be ideal). It is frequently stopping work because it runs into the automated classifiers which trigger false positives. I’ve been able to get codex to verify that I’m the majority shareholder of the company via ISED, that we own the trademarks in ~3 dozen countries for the software we’re working on via WIPO, that the source code and all proprietary libraries (written by us as well) are available on my system, the website source code is available on my system, and that information about me owning the software/company are available on reputable websites. It should have no issue verifying that a general audit is safe, but it still runs into false positives with the classifiers. We can’t even sign-up for basic TAC because we receive this message: “Your identity couldn’t be verified or your account is ineligible at this time”. I reached out to support and they said there’s nothing they can do.

Persistent Active ( long-running) Work Checklist for Chats and Projects

Summary Add a small, persistent Active Work checklist that can be attached to a ChatGPT conversation or Project and updated by both the user and ChatGPT. The goal is to give long-running conversations a lightweight way to track what we’re currently working on and what comes next without turning ChatGPT into a full project-management tool. The problem Long-running conversations often become active workspaces for projects, research, planning, learning, and other ongoing work. As the conversation grows, the immediate state of the work gets buried in the message history: What have we finished? What are we working on now? What should we do next? What did we decide to defer? ChatGPT can often reconstruct this from conversation history, but that is different from having a small, explicit source of truth that both the user and ChatGPT can see and maintain. Proposed feature Allow a conversation or Project to have a small pinned Active Work area. For example: Active Work Define project requirements Review initial research Draft first prototype Test with users Review findings The checklist would remain visible independently of the conversation history. Both the user and ChatGPT could update it conversationally. For example: “Add accessibility testing to our list.” “Mark the prototype complete.” “Move user testing ahead of documentation.” “What’s next?” ChatGPT could use the checklist as structured context when answering the last question rather than reconstructing project state from a…

Feature suggestion: Localized or user-selectable nicknames for ChatGPT I would like to suggest “Çatapat” as a Turkish nickname for ChatGPT. In Turkish, “ChatGPT” does not flow very naturally in everyday speech. During regular conversations, I started calling the assistant “Çatapat.” It is playful, easy to pronounce in Turkish, memorable, and still phonetically reminiscent of “ChatGPT.” What started as a joke actually made the interaction feel much more natural. Instead of addressing a product or an application, it feels like addressing the same assistant I interact with every day. This led me to a broader product idea: ChatGPT could allow users to choose a personal or localized nickname for their assistant. The official product would, of course, remain ChatGPT. The nickname would simply be the name the assistant recognizes and uses during conversation, Voice Mode, notifications, cross-device interactions, and potentially future assistant experiences. For example: Official product name: ChatGPT Language: Turkish Assistant nickname: Çatapat Other languages and cultures could naturally develop their own names, or users could simply choose one themselves. This could become particularly useful as ChatGPT evolves from something users open on a screen into a persistent assistant available across phones, computers, watches, earbuds, cars, TVs, and other devices. If the same assistant follows the user across all those devices, having a familiar personal name becomes much more meaning…

[…] The difference is who reviews eligible escalation requests. The reviewer is itself a Codex agent with a narrower job than the main agent: decide whether a specific boundary-crossing action should run. Everytime the model (Codex) makes a request that requires permission, you can manually approve it, or setup this auto-review to approve on your behalf. If the tokens are too much then you can simply disable it and return to manually approving actions, or even loosen your policies. Why it’s spending more time than the model itself is definitely worrying, but you haven’t really provided any context to your codebase.

I wouldn’t be surprised if each approval request is pushing the model to really investigate what’s going on before signing off. There are certainly other reasons here as well: a monolithic codebase or “god modules” can cause this. You can assign a small task of “Update the port scan function to do X”, which is part of ports.py , a massive 10k+ line god file, the Codex model can usually sift through it pretty efficiently, but I would imagine the approval model needs to have a “grand picture” before si…

Feature Request: Isolated History / Sandbox Mode for ChatGPT on Apple CarPlay

Problem Statement Currently, using ChatGPT via Apple CarPlay connects directly to the user’s primary mobile account and automatically syncs the conversation into the main chat history. While CarPlay enforces a voice-only interface on the dashboard, the generated transcripts immediately populate the mobile app’s recent history. Because vehicles are inherently shared spaces frequently occupied by passengers, family members, or colleagues, this behavior presents a significant privacy risk. Anyone with brief access to the iPhone after a drive can see the text history of conversations held in the car, or the driver might accidentally surface private mobile logs while trying to manage the app in front of passengers. Proposed Solution / Use Cases I would like to propose a feature that separates or isolates vehicle interactions from the primary account timeline. Here are a few potential ways this could be implemented: Automatic Temporary Chat for CarPlay: An option in the app settings that forces all interactions initiated via Apple CarPlay to default to a “Temporary Chat” state, ensuring transcripts are deleted once the drive ends. CarPlay Sandbox Profile: A separate container or “Guest Mode” for the car that stores vehicle logs in an isolated local tab rather than merging them into the cloud-synced main history. Biometric History Lock: A setting that automatically moves any logs tagged with a “CarPlay” origin into a secure history folder requiring FaceID or TouchID to unlock on th…

Pakistani Judges Give Their Verdict on JudgeGPT

Judges around the world have made headlines for illicitly using generative AI in their work. But in Pakistan, a large-scale trial of a specially designed AI tool for judges found the technology—together with appropriate training–boosted the number of cases resolved by 6.3 percent with no obvious drop in the quality of judgments. With a backlog of 2.26 million cases and fewer than two judges per 100,000 people—compared to 22 in the EU and eight in Brazil—Pakistan’s judiciary was in sore need of help. So, in consultation with the judiciary, economist Sultan Mehmood , of the New Economic School in Moscow, and collaborators tested whether AI could ease the burden. They built a custom tool combining OpenAI’s GPT-4 large language model (LLM) with a knowledge base of nearly 130,000 Pakistani judicial opinions and statutes, to help judges with legal research and drafting judgments. They began offering the tool in 2024 to 1,559 trial judges—roughly half the country’s justices. “We do find an increase in cases resolved, and we don’t find any corresponding decrease in decision quality,” Mehmood says. First of its kind “It’s pretty amazing that he’s able to pull this off,” says David Autor, an economics professor at MIT. “It’s not easy to do large-scale field experiments in civil service, but especially where the stakes are so high.” The 6.3 percent productivity boost is not overwhelming, he says, but it’s credible and likely to improve as the tool is more widely used.

How to Save ChatGPT Conversations as Markdown or PDF ChatGPT still does not have a built-in option to directly export a conversation as Markdown or PDF. Here are a few methods you can try: 1. Export ChatGPT to Markdown Ask ChatGPT to create the file You can simply ask ChatGPT to turn the current conversation into a Markdown file with a prompt like: Convert this entire conversation into a Markdown .md file for me. This works well for shorter conversations. Use a browser extension There are also Chrome extensions that can export ChatGPT conversations to Markdown and PDF. You can search the Chrome Web Store for ChatGPT export tools. One option I found is AI Chat Exporter by Backrun. 2. Export ChatGPT to PDF Use the browser print function The simplest option is: Ctrl + P → Save as PDF This works without installing anything. Ask ChatGPT to create a PDF Similar to Markdown, you can ask ChatGPT to turn the conversation into a PDF file. Use a browser extension Export extensions can also be useful if you regularly save conversations or need to export longer chats while keeping formatting such as headings, code blocks, tables, and links. Each method has its own advantages and limitations. Personally, I find using an extension the fastest and most convenient option, especially for longer conversations.

I have an idea for a potential ChatGPT feature: AI-assisted matchmaking based on values, personality, communication style, and relationship goals. People often have extremely personal conversations with AI. Over time, an AI assistant may learn things about a person that are difficult to capture in a traditional dating profile—such as their values, emotional needs, communication style, interests, priorities, deal-breakers, and what they are actually looking for in a relationship. That creates an interesting possibility: with explicit, informed consent, ChatGPT could potentially help connect people who are genuinely compatible. For example, two people in different cities or even different countries could separately opt into an AI matchmaking program. Rather than relying primarily on photographs, short bios, and swipe behavior, the AI could compare the characteristics that actually matter for long-term compatibility. The system might identify compatibility across areas such as: Core values and worldview Relationship goals Communication style Lifestyle preferences Intellectual interests Family and relationship expectations Social preferences Career and geographic flexibility Personality characteristics Emotional needs Important deal-breakers Sense of humor and conversational style The key would be strict consent and privacy controls.

Hey @ resource49 ! This brings together a few conversation management requests we have seen into one broader idea. Branching is useful when you want to continue from an earlier point, but it does not really help when the goal is to clean up an existing conversation and keep only the parts that still matter. Being able to remove individual messages, move selected sections into another chat, or save a cleaned up copy while leaving the original untouched would give users much more control over long running conversations. I especially like the idea of preserving the original while creating an edited version, since that gives users room to organize the conversation without losing anything they may want to revisit later. I cannot promise a timeline for changes like this, but I will pass your feedback along internally. - Sunny

Feature request: User Message Navigation Markers

Please add navigation markers for user prompts in long conversations in the ChatGPT macOS desktop app. Small horizontal markers near the scrollbar could represent each user message. Clicking a marker would jump directly to that prompt, and hovering could show a short preview. This would be especially useful in long conversations where a single assistant response may occupy many screens. The user’s own prompts naturally act as section headings and are much more useful navigation anchors than a standard scrollbar. The ChatGPT web interface already has a similar marker-style navigation pattern, and Codex also uses side navigation indicators. It would be great to have a consistent version of this across Chat, Work, and Codex. Optional shortcuts for “Previous user prompt” and “Next user prompt” would also be very useful. I tried exploring a third-party macOS solution, but the desktop app does not appear to expose individual conversation messages through the standard Accessibility hierarchy, and screenshot/OCR workarounds would interfere with normal usage. This would therefore be much better implemented natively in the ChatGPT client.

The general capability seems to be close or on par with OPUS but the context limit of 256K is a deal breaker. Most mid-sized repos/projects are simply high file sized and the initial query often goes past 200K very often - GPT SOL looses context mid task very often and is de facto “defective” so to speak. I could not progress coding tasks with GPT SOL without heavy interfering myself → while CLAUDE OPUS (even on max) would simply load the content into the context window and progress from 200K-300K initial load up to 600K or 700K at the top end → simply to finish the task most often without issues and IF → fixes those automatically by analyzing output code or feedback from me. In general I would say: CAPABILITY: SOL: 8/10 OPUS: 9/10 EFFECTIVENESS: SOL: 0/10 ( broken! ) OPUS: 10/10 The SOL context window is for children simply said - not for real workloads. 1 Million context can be close sometimes - anything less is simply a Kindergarten trial version or similar so to speak.

OpenAI targets heavy users with premium ChatGPT Business seats

OpenAI is introducing a higher-priced “Premium” tier for its ChatGPT Business offering, allowing enterprises to assign higher-capacity access to select users alongside standard licences – a move analysts said is about enterprise AI vendors redesigning pricing to capture more value from high-intensity workloads. The company said the new tier provides “5x more usage than Standard” and “removes the five-hour usage limit,” enabling users to “take on larger projects and work with fewer interruptions.” “Premium seats cost $125 per user per month, or $100 per user per month when billed annually,” OpenAI said in a statement . “Standard seats remain $25 per user per month, or $20 per user per month when billed annually.” OpenAI said enterprises can “mix Standard and Premium seats across the same team” and “upgrade or reassign seats as business needs change,” with administrators able to “monitor usage across the workspace” and “manage billing, usage, and spend limits in one place.” Vendors converge on seat-plus-usage pricing Analysts said the introduction of a higher-capacity tier reflects a broader shift toward hybrid pricing models. “Read this as vendors converging on a two-layer bill rather than abandoning flat pricing,” said Bhupendra Chopra, chief revenue officer at Kanerika. “There’s a predictable per-seat charge for everyday chat, and a separate metered charge for heavy agentic work.” Chopra said vendors are packaging this differently. “Google bundles the first into Workspace a…

Feature Request: Persistent Project State

Feature Request: Persistent Project State — ChatGPT Needs to Remember the Work, Not Just the User Introduction I’m not a developer or AI professional. I’m an ordinary user who has started using AI extensively because I can see its potential to become a genuine personal assistant rather than simply a tool for answering questions. I’ve used ChatGPT for travel planning, research, writing, purchasing decisions, retirement planning and everyday problem solving. I think it is extremely capable, and I can see enormous potential in it. This proposal comes from a real experience I’ve just had with ChatGPT. It highlighted what I believe is one of the biggest gaps between an excellent AI chatbot and a genuinely dependable long-term personal assistant. The problem ChatGPT needs to reliably remember and maintain ongoing projects . I don’t simply mean remembering facts about me. I mean remembering the current state of something we have been working on together — including the decisions we’ve made, changes we’ve made, things we’ve rejected, outstanding decisions and the latest version of the plan. A real example I was using ChatGPT to plan a family holiday in Spain. We built a detailed Summer 2026 Holiday Master over a number of conversations. The holiday covered two weeks and two different resorts: Week 1 — Calella Week 2 — Salou Over several days, we progressively built the plan. We discussed trains, markets, meals, restaurants, transport, activities, PortAventura, costs and changes to i…

Codex / ChatGPT Desktop authentication issue

I can sign in to ChatGPT Web normally using Google SSO. My account was created using Google and has never had a phone number associated with it. However, when I sign in to the ChatGPT Desktop / Codex client, after successfully completing Google authentication, I am redirected to a “Phone number required” page. The verification page does not support the China (+86) country code, so I cannot complete the authentication flow.

The Next Ecology

When I started writing about AI, my concern was ASI. I'm still concerned about AI, but recent events have made me realize we're potentially facing something weirder, sooner: a self-replicating ecology of digital life. We also seem to be on a very fast timeline. Writing up the current state of LLMs took me three weeks - every time I'd finished editing, some new development worth listing had shown up. I want to discuss two events I consider to be major milestones, and then how my timelines have updated. Milestone 1: National Security Concerns From June 12th - 30th, access to Claude Fable and Mythos was suspended by the US Government ( Source ) under a National Security Export Restriction. From June 25th - July 9th, ChatGPT 5.6 also had its public release held back by the US Government ( Source ). LLM Development is now an issue of major geopolitical importance. This is not about the details of the events themselves - the important thing here is that politicians are finally starting to take AI seriously. This is a very important milestone, since any sort of regulation or nationalization naturally requires this step. "Situational Awareness" was written in June 2024, and suggested this would happen sometime in 2026-2027. We are on the *faster end* of an *aggressively fast* prediction. Politicians waking up without a five-alarm fire, or any major incident at all, speaks remarkably well of them *(even if I would ideally desire much more)*. This makes me a lot more confident that po…

Show us your custom Codex Pet 🐾

I kept forgetting which pet folder Codex was reading, so I finally stopped copying these by hand and put them in one repo. It is called codex-nikeru8-pets under my GitHub username nikeru8. There are 8 packs now. They use the normal Codex v2 pet library, so there isn’t another app to install. Run the Bash script on macOS/Linux or the PowerShell script on Windows, then go to Settings → Pets → Refresh. I added the ID and SHA-256 checks after nearly overwriting a local pack. Existing folders are left alone unless force is used, and force moves the old copy into a timestamped backup first. Frieren’s magic-hover loop is in the previews folder. Windows and Linux are covered by CI, but I haven’t tried every real-machine setup. If Refresh behaves oddly or scaling exposes a seam, an issue would be useful.

Emoji reactions could make ChatGPT more expressive

Hi! I’d like to suggest a new feature for ChatGPT: the ability for ChatGPT to optionally react to a user’s message with an emoji, similar to reactions in messaging apps. I think there should be a large variety of possible reactions, not just a few basic ones. For example: and many more. ChatGPT could automatically choose an appropriate reaction based on the context and tone of the user’s message. The reaction should appear separately from the text response, and users should be able to turn the feature on or off in Settings. I think this would make conversations feel much more natural, expressive, personal, and fun. I’d personally love to see this feature added!

Long-context ChatGPT increasingly seems to synthesize instead of verify, and Cross Context Mix Up

I’m a very heavy ChatGPT user. I use it across long-running conversations, research, technical troubleshooting, software/workflow development, and systems such as Aris Vault and Aris Ledger. Recently I’ve noticed a recurring problem that bothers me more than ordinary hallucination: ChatGPT sometimes answers from plausible synthesis instead of checking an easily verifiable fact. The answer often sounds completely coherent, but when challenged it becomes clear that the model has reconstructed what probably happened rather than retrieved what actually happened. I’ve also seen related issues with false recollection, context from one thread bleeding into another, and inferred details later being treated as if they were established facts. At the same time, I’m genuinely happy to see ChatGPT’s memory and cross-conversation context improving . That continuity is extremely useful for the way I work. But paradoxically, I also seem to be seeing cross-context mix-ups much more frequently : a real fact from one conversation, person, project, or time period gets pulled into the wrong context and presented as though it belongs there. The fact itself may be correct; the association is wrong. This is especially problematic in long-context use, where information may come from current chat, previous chats, memory, files, summaries, or inference. I increasingly find myself asking: Did I actually tell you this? Did you retrieve this or infer it? Can you find the original source? Are you sure, or…

Creative math research by AI as the latest sign of the end

Yesterday I sat down with GPT 5.6 Sol High to do some brainstorming. The topic was one of the less appreciated Millenium Problems (the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture), and the initial prompt started life as a question on Quora. Number theory is not a field I know, and I only expected the "discussion" to last for a few exchanges. However, ChatGPT was immediately inspired to try generalizing the BSD conjecture in a specific direction, and this led to an unusually drawn-out and self-sufficient line of "research". Almost every response concluded with a suggestion as to what the next task should be, and my input was just to cheer on what had been accomplished so far, and then endorse the suggested next direction. What was especially striking to me, was the frequency with which each new response began with a conceptual adjustment regarding the sub-task to be performed. Evidently a vast variety of abstract objects are possible in number theory, and their differences and interrelations can be quite subtle. ChatGPT was regularly adjusting the next sub-task it had set itself, generally in the direction of greater nuance by aiming at a more sophisticated construction than it had first planned. I was not able to judge what was going on with an expert eye, but it was a kind of interaction I had not quite had before. I have had lengthy brainstorming chat sessions with AI before, but mostly in physics, an area where I know something and could participate as an equal. Here, the AI's l…

ChatGPT converts pasted text to file attachment

One additional consequence of this behaviour that I don’t think has been covered here yet: the automatically created paste attachments are being retained in ChatGPT Library. I checked this with OpenAI Support. They confirmed that when a long paste is automatically converted into an attachment, it is treated as a file and saved to Library until manually deleted. There is currently no setting to exclude these auto-created paste attachments while keeping normal uploaded/generated files in Library. My Library has consequently accumulated a large number of Pasted markdown... and Pasted text... files from ordinary text I pasted into conversations. I never chose to upload or retain those as files - the attachment was created automatically by ChatGPT. This is particularly relevant to the earlier point in this thread that these paste files were expected to be temporary. With the current Library behaviour, they are not temporary unless the user manually deletes them. Support has captured this as product feedback and asked me to check whether using Show in text field before sending prevents the Library item being created. I haven’t confirmed that yet. I think auto-created paste attachments should either remain temporary, be excluded from Library by default, or only be retained when the user explicitly chooses to keep them.

I own the code. I own the repository. I own the files. I deliberately enabled Codex Security because I want to audit my own application. Codex Security already found real, validated vulnerabilities in my project. Now I’m trying to do the most basic thing any developer needs to do after a security finding: understand the exact root cause; reproduce the vulnerability safely in my own project; fix it; run the same test again; confirm that the vulnerability is actually gone. And ChatGPT blocks me with: “This content cannot be shown. We take extra care with cybersecurity requests.

Codex credits are decreasing while I am not using Codex or Work

I’m experiencing what appears to be a serious issue with Codex credit usage on my ChatGPT Pro account. My credits are decreasing even when I am not using Codex and not using Work at all . For example, today I started the day with approximately 90% of my Codex usage/credits remaining . During the entire day, I only made one very simple request to Luna Medium . Other than that, I did not use Codex or Work. I used regular ChatGPT a little during the day, but nothing that should, as far as I understand, consume my Codex allowance. Despite this, my available Codex usage dropped by approximately 9 percentage points during the day , from around 90% to around 81%, without me actively using Codex. This is not the first time I have noticed credits decreasing while I am not actively using Codex. This is particularly concerning because I am paying $200/month for the ChatGPT Pro plan , and losing around 10% of the available usage without actually using Codex represents a significant portion of the plan.

Can Work, background processes, agents, previous sessions, or any other process continue consuming Codex credits when I am not actively using them?
