Where'd Codex Go?

3•aleshh•2h ago

I just clicked the "Update" button in the Mac Codex app, and the app quit and deleted itself. I went to download it from the download page, and it downloads a copy of the ChatGTP app.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this OpenAI unifying things?

This is expected behavior; the Codex app has been rebranded as the ChatGPT app.

Hmph. There was no Update button in ChatGPT, but sure enough, restarting it and now I get "ChatGPT Codex".

I'm not sure I like this at all, but hopefully it means the ChatGPT app won't leak memory and need to be restarted every few hours!

I think Open AI merged codex and the ChatGPT app. This happened to me as well but still dont see the "new" version after the update which is odd.

Same here. But where is Codex in ChatGPT app? I can only use codex as part of VS code extension. I talking about desktop.
