Odaily Odaily News: OpenAI Codex Product Lead Tibo announced that usage limits have been reset for all ChatGPT Work and Codex users.Tibo stated that recent user feedback indicated GPT-5.6 Sol was consuming Codex limits faster than anticipated. Following an investigation, OpenAI has implemented several optimizations. It is projected that under typical usage scenarios, Sol's limit endurance will improve by approximately 18%, with some users seeing more noticeable improvements starting today.He explained that Sol tends to work for longer periods, make additional tool calls, and coordinate complex processes, while High mode consumes more tokens compared to previous models. Additionally, factors such as parallel tool calls in code mode and increased cached input have also led to higher-than-expected usage for certain tasks.OpenAI stated that Sol represents a significant upgrade to Codex's capabilities, but increased model capabilities do not always translate into efficiency gains. The company will continue to optimize code mode efficiency and restore the five-hour limit that was suspended during the investigation.
According to Decrypt, Jack Dorsey's payment company Block has officially launched the open-source collaboration platform Buzz, built on the Nostr protocol, enabling employees and AI agents to collaborate within the same workspace. Buzz integrates team chat, code repositories, and automated workflows, where each user and AI agent possesses an independent encrypted identity, supporting mainstream model frameworks such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Block's self-developed goose, with the code released open-source under the Apache 2.0 license. Jack Dorsey stated that the platform aims to reduce the company's reliance on Slack and GitHub; the current version is 0.4.21, already supporting macOS, Windows, and Linux desktops, while the mobile version is still under development.
Tibo, a core member of OpenAI Codex, posted on X platform stating that previously, it was too easy for users to enable high-compute mode without fully explaining its impact on usage quotas. The large-scale revamp of the desktop application made common features like chats and projects difficult to find. Additionally, promotional efforts overly focused on ChatGPT Work, leading some Codex users to mistakenly believe that Codex would be phased out in the future. Furthermore, the new version also caused issues with some multi-agent workflows, plugin functions, and other user experiences.In response to the above issues, OpenAI has already rolled out the first batch of improvement measures, including adjusting default settings and the model selector to prevent users from accidentally using high-cost configurations, fixing several plugin submission issues, optimizing the presentation of Codex within the product, and resolving some desktop experience problems.Additionally, over the past 24 hours, OpenAI has been continuously collecting user feedback, analyzing usage patterns, and communicating with users. Although the market has shown strong interest in GPT 5.6 Sol and the web and mobile versions of ChatGPT Work, OpenAI also acknowledges that this update has multiple issues.As of now, two rounds of Codex and ChatGPT Work usage quota top-ups have been completed. The next larger-scale update will be released next week, when chat and project features will return to the sidebar in a more familiar and customizable form. The platform will also enhance the visibility of usage quotas and reset times, further clarifying the respective applicable scenarios for ChatGPT Work and Codex.
