Key Takeaways for the New ChatGPT App and Models
haltakov · x · 2026-07-12
A summary of three key points regarding the new ChatGPT app:
- Developer Advice: Use Codex directly and skip Work mode. Both have identical capabilities, but Codex generates more straightforward code.
- Feature Updates: Full conversational features alongside Codex and Work are rolling out next week.
- Pitfall Warning: It is recommended to avoid using GPT-5.6 Ultra because its sub-agents also utilize the Ultra model, which will consume your usage quota extremely fast.
