On August 31, 2026, GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.4 mini will no longer be available in Codex for users signed in with ChatGPT. GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.4 mini will remain available on the OpenAI API and in Codex sessions authenticated with an API key.

Switch to their recommended replacements:

• Replace gpt-5.4 with gpt-5.6-terra (GPT-5.6 Terra).
• Replace gpt-5.4-mini with gpt-5.6-luna (GPT-5.6 Luna).

Before the cutoff, update workspace defaults, saved model settings, managed configurations, custom agents, and scheduled tasks that use either model.

See Codex models and workspace model availability for details.

The latest ChatGPT desktop app update makes browsing, reviewing code, and editing generated images faster and easier.

Browse and find context faster

• Type in the built-in browser's address bar to revisit pages from your browsing history or search Google when there's no match.
• Manage your browsing history in Settings, and let ChatGPT search that history when a task needs to find a page you visited before.
• Use the Chrome extension to mention open tabs or bring highlighted page text into your side chat.
• Ask questions about any YouTube video in the Chrome extension and get answers in seconds.
• Right-click a webpage and select Ask ChatGPT.

Learn more about the built-in browser and the Chrome extension.

Review changes across repositories

See all repositories in a multi-folder project and the lines changed in each one. Select Review to inspect diffs across those repositories without switching between separate review views.

Refine generated images

Open generated images in an expanded viewer, and switch between Focused view and Canvas view. Add comments across images, choose the ones you want, and send targeted edits without leaving your conversation. Learn more about image generation.

Other improvements and bug fixes

• Added a new Activity view in the sidebar for chats you recently engaged with or that require attention. Select the bell or press Cmd/Ctrl+Opt+U.
• Updated browser settings to show only supported browsers.
• Improved Windows installation reliability when package file paths are long.
• Other performance and bug fixes.

Sign in with ChatGPT is beginning to roll out in beta across select plugins and partner sites, starting with Airtable, GitLab, HubSpot, Notion, Supabase, and Vercel.

When you connect a supported plugin from the ChatGPT plugin directory, you can use Sign in with ChatGPT to create or link an account with that service in fewer steps. On participating partner sites, you can also select Sign in with ChatGPT to create or access your account.

This makes it easier to start working with supported tools in ChatGPT and Codex.

When you sign in, the partner receives only your name, email address, and profile picture, if available. You must still review and approve each plugin's requested access as a separate step.
