OpenAI is bringing Codex and ChatGPT closer together

OpenAI said it is combining Codex’s agentic capabilities with ChatGPT. The company said it rewrote chatgpt.com in five weeks to provide the Codex app experience, which is now available on the web as the ChatGPT desktop experience.

ChatGPT work on desktop now runs in the cloud while retaining access to a user’s local machine. Codex Cloud launched that day, and OpenAI said it was working on further “toggle merges” that month.
