OpenAI merges Codex app into new ChatGPT desktop client

OpenAI has updated its desktop application, merging the Codex app into a new ChatGPT desktop client for Mac and Windows. This unified interface now offers three distinct modes: Chat for quick queries, Work for sustained tasks with cloud synchronization, and Codex for coding-specific workflows. Users need to be aware that local chats and files within the Work mode do not automatically sync across devices, and Codex maintains its own separate history, distinct from Work mode. AI

IMPACT Users must adapt to a unified interface, understanding new data synchronization boundaries between cloud and local modes.

RANK_REASON This is a product update/merge for an existing AI application, not a new frontier model release or significant industry-shaping event.
