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…

I don't know why you're downvoted. This is field is so rapidly changing and confusing and on top of that burried underneath a shitload of new marketing terms.

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…

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.

They are replacing ChatGPT with Codex

Which is funny because OpenAI talks up the value of their ChatGPT brand. Only coders know Codex.

Which is why the combined app is called ChatGPT, not Codex.

The resulting "combined" Codex + ChatGPT mac app is super confusing. I use the Codex app with my work account, but I liked the old ChatGPT app, which I kept logged in with my personal account, for my LLM chat needs. I guess I can just use ChatGPT.com, but this was a rather jarring change.

If you really want, you can cmd+T and go to chatgpt.com within the ChatGPT app haha

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'm building towards an open source version of this Interesting. So the main use case would be entities that run lightspeed on a beefy private cloud or on premise?

yes, basically people that want to host powerful, long-running agent runs not on dedicated VMs (although lightspeed can use those too), but on an abstraction layer above.

My thesis is that the right abstraction is durable workflow engines. And AFAIK, OAI also uses Temporal for their complicated hosted agent infra.

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

Anthropic just changed their web interface yesterday to have Chat versus Cowork as well, and every time I look at it, I'm so confused. I'm still so unclear when I'm supposed to use one or the other or the other. Now the 'ChatGPT desktop app' (the Codex app, renamed) also has the split between work and code, and as far as I can tell, all it does is change which plugins are loaded by default to include Office ones when…

Not sure if the cause but there’s this overarching absolute neglect of UX. Maybe they’re all just trying to grab as much market share as humanly possible, but imo it seems more likely they’ll lose each segment to products that actually make sure the experience isn’t absolute dog shit.

I ... hope we have an option for opting out of this? Otherwise I'm back on T3 Code.

I think the idea is that there should be no difference between 'casual chat' and 'serious chat'. why not chat in codex
