I have a longer version of this, but in summary So my understanding of the differences between chat, code and co-work; but may well be wrong! Chat is the human, talking directly to the LLM - old school. Very basic can create docs etc - but saves in a temp folder. No real access to your local PC. Cowork / work - Human talking to an agent, which can then use tools to do work. Also runs in a container, allowing it acces…

Claude code is sandboxed by default no?

I just installed this. I am very confused. I no longer have a Codex app on my computer. ChatGPT is now Codex. But what happened to ChatGPT? Where am I supposed to casually chat? Also, when you toggle btween ChatGPT Work and ChatGPT Codex, nothing changes. This is super confusing. Can someone from the OpenAI team clarify the difference btwn the modes? Does chatgpt work have more business-y related plugins turned on by…

I have updated Codex and it's now ChatGPT. And the chat in Codex is badly broken and doesn't support the one feature I use in almost every chat.

Good job.

On Windows, ChatGPT is now known as ChatGPT Classic, and Codex is now known as ChatGPT (Beta).

This unification is garbage. Chats that are about topics other than programming projects are relegated to a tiny, unsearchable popup window. Renaming the old app "ChatGPT Classic" implies that it will be discontinued at some point. This is a serious regression. What existed before worked fine.

I would expect the mode switcher to include a Chat mode, which would recreate the old, chat-focused UI, for asking about random topics. So, that's basically gone now. Technically, it's hidden and severely castrated.

I hope someone from OpenAI reads this. You guys have made a serious design mistake. I suspect you'll be getting a lot of support requests along the lines of "Where did all my chats go?"

This is helpful but ...

What's the distinction between Work and Codex again? Sorry for asking - but they read the same to me.

It's just a focus on coding vs non-coding work?

I just downloaded the new dmg and it's the old chatGPT. Maybe they are listening?

What they did to ChatGPT.app is incredible. It was a truly useful app, but the replacement is brain damaged in terms of UI/UX beyond repair.

Incredible, really.

Sad, I liked that ChatGPT had a native app on macOS. I don’t understand why OpenAI and Anthropic have to rely on vending universal apps when their whole MO is code being dirt cheap.

AppKit and SwiftUI and WinUI are all meh for rendering lots of text. Chromium is quite good at it.

Plus they have lots of embedded web content these days and managing webviews is a relative pain vs it all being one webview
