So let me get this straight: 1) If you have the Codex desktop app installed, and you update from within the app, it replaces itself with the new chat-demoted-to-an-overlay app called "ChatGPT" and renames your existing ChatGPT app to "ChatGPT Classic." 2) If you get the new ChatGPT app and replace your current app with it, you don't get a "Classic" app and there's no way to download it. 3) They really named an app "C…

Chat is there... it's just can't be in a full-screen anymore.

You can detach a specific chat window and make it any size you want.

Same. I don't see why they thought this was a good move.

maybe they asked chatgpt about it :)

I asked ChatGPT about this change and my version, with knowledge of how it and I work together, certainly prefers the old one.

This thread is so spot on but I can also imagine the product development internally is moving so fast that they're trying to reconcile everything and can't. And this is the huge mistake so many companies make. Leave what's working alone. Build new adjacent things. It's clear they want to make money and work or code is the focus of enterprise. But never rename something Classic...so bad.

If it’s any comfort, whoever did this made more money in a month than I’ll make in 10 years.

Wait that’s not a comfort at all. Now I’m more upset.

I think these kind of semi-coding agents--but hosted--are the future for enterprises. Claude Tag, Claude Cowork, now Work by OAI. Agents-on-your-machine clearly have their place, but for many workflows this is too unruly. Hence, the "long-running agent running on shared infra" pattern. I think this is where the ball is headed. I'm building towards an open source version of this[0]. Still just working on the core, but…

I came to the exact same conclusion recently. I am building something like lightspeed that can run on “pay per second” infra like fly.io sprites because I wanted to have an open claw style agent but not have to deal with paying for another VM.

Came to a similar decision 5 months ago and ended up building “seven” on Fly’s sprites: https://github.com/1to10partners/seven

Nowadays, depending on the project’s complexity I either run just 1 sprite, several sprites, or in one case 1 permanent “CTO” VM (with a dedicated GH App identity) that specs work that a fleet of worker sprites pull and implement.

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…

Over my long career, this may take the cake when it comes to all time software turds. This reeks of desperation.

It's probably been commented here before but I'll add my voice: they did NOT think this through.

If you're gonna try and make people use one app for everything, at least make it differently optimized between modes. And how are you supposed to chat with ChatGPT while Codex works on a technical task?! (once they retire Classic)

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

Why is a browser tool better at rendering text than native?

Because there is more competition to render sites in a pleasing way, switching cost is lower. The operating systems have a high switching cost, very few people will learn a new OS because the text is a little fuzzy.

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.

Most shamefully and bearishly, in the AI golden age developers and knowledge workers alike are still beholden to use whatever software is shipped to them, instead of whatever system they can build for themselves.
