"gpt6" branch spotted in OpenAI's official computer-use repo amid new environment PR
kimmonismus · x · 2026-09-03
A pull request (#71) in OpenAI's open-source openai-cua-sample-app repo uses the branch name codex/gpt6-computer-use-images and proposes two new computer-use environment images: gpt6-js-image (Node.js, Playwright, Chromium) and gpt6-py-image (Python, PyAutoGUI, Pillow, Chromium on Xvfb/Openbox).
The PR describes scope as environment initialization only, with browser screenshot checks and pinned public dependencies replacing an older incomplete Firefox setup. The "gpt6" naming in an official OpenAI repo is fueling speculation about a next-gen model — unverified, possibly a codename or placeholder. The repo has 1.8k stars.
