Streamed web_search citations leaking citation markers into text output

Fair, I’ll take the correction on what the underlying cause probably is. We have coded around it for now, but is the suggestion that this is something we should be building prompts around? With unmatched markers leaking into text, it seems reasonable that Openai would address this, especially given they’ve been addressing similar issues with the file search tool.

Constant cybersecurity false positives and unable to sign-up for cyber

I’ve been constantly running into false positive issues lately with Codex, but today is particularly bad. 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. I suspect either account age or an abundance of false positives have contributed to this, but it’s truly just speculation on my part. Conversely, Anthropic had no issue giving us significantly extended permissions in their CVP program beyond what their CVP would normally offer and let us v…

Comment on A New Network Design Direction? DeepMind Examines How Networks Generalize and Climb the Chomsky Hierarchy by Rick

It is interesting how theoretical research like this often highlights the gap between what models can achieve in a lab and how they actually perform in real-world applications. Bridging that gap requires more than just technical knowledge. It demands a systematic approach to how teams collaborate and iterate on complex systems. For organizations dealing with complex workflows, a structured approach to operations is critical. That is where designops consulting for enterprise comes in, helping to align processes and communication to ensure that innovation actually scales effectively

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

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 request: Adjustable speed for Read Aloud

Hey @ shekharsahu ! Adjustable speed would make Read Aloud much more flexible, especially for language learning where being able to slow down pronunciation can make it easier to pick out individual words and phrases. We have seen similar requests for playback speed controls before, so the added context around Thai learning, pronunciation practice, and shadowing is really useful. I also like the idea of remembering a preferred speed instead of having to adjust it every time. That would make the feature much more practical for people who regularly listen at a different pace. I cannot promise a timeline for changes like this, but I will pass your feedback along internally. - Sunny

A Turkish Nickname for ChatGPT: “Çatapat” – Localized Assistant Names

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…

Feature Request: Password/PIN Protection for ChatGPT Projects

Hey @ vishalllmahadik ! This is an interesting idea, especially for users who keep personal or sensitive work inside Projects and want an extra layer of protection without locking the entire ChatGPT account. ChatGPT already has account level security options, but there is currently no separate PIN or password lock for individual Projects. A Project specific lock, with optional biometric authentication where supported, could give users more control over which areas remain accessible on a shared device. We have also seen similar feedback around adding stronger privacy controls for individual Projects, so the additional detail about how you would expect the locking flow to work is helpful. I cannot promise a timeline or whether this will be added, but I will pass your feedback along internally. - Sunny

Un copiloto de voz que combina navegación, seguridad vial, elección personalizada de rutas y conversación humana opcional. Mi propuesta es desarrollar un Copiloto de Voz para personas que manejan , especialmente para quienes conducen solas. La idea no es crear simplemente otro GPS. El objetivo es combinar navegación, inteligencia conversacional, información en tiempo real, seguridad vial y preferencias personales en una experiencia de conducción completamente manos libres. 1. Un copiloto, no solamente un GPS Al comenzar un viaje, el sistema podría establecer una conversación sencilla con el conductor: Copiloto: “Hola, ¿cómo estás? ¿Para dónde vamos?” Conductor: “Me voy a casa.” A partir de ahí, el Copiloto podría continuar acompañando el viaje de una manera natural, sin obligar al conductor a interactuar. También podría preguntar: “¿Cómo te fue hoy? ¿Querés hablar un rato o preferís ir tranquilo?” La conversación sería siempre opcional. Si el conductor no quiere hablar, el Copiloto simplemente permanece disponible para navegación y seguridad. 2. Acompañamiento humano, pero no psicológico Una parte importante de la propuesta es que el conductor pueda expresarse si tiene ganas. Por ejemplo, puede decir: “Tuve un día terrible en el trabajo.” “Me peleé con mi pareja.” “Estoy preocupado por llegar tarde.” El objetivo no es realizar terapia ni reemplazar a un psicólogo .

This morning (literally a shower project) I tasked Codex and GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra with building a prototype: Do a research spike to see what it would take to build a library with the same core API as SQLite-utils - in particular the insert and upsert and insert_all and upsert_all and create and update methods, and the table introspection stuff - but backed by SQLalchemy so it works for multiple database engines Test against PostgreSQL and SQLite and duckdb Use ~/dev/sqlite-utils for reference Create a git repo for this and commit and early and often - use uv init to start the project - use red/green TDD and pytest, see ~/dev/django-sql-dashboard for one idea as to how the PostgreSQL tests could work It took very few follow-up prompts to produce this project in a state good enough to release as an alpha.
