  Companies go through phases of exploration and phases of refocus; both are critical. But when new bets start to work, like we're seeing now with Codex, it's very important to double down on them and avoid distractions. Really glad we're seizing this moment.

• @karrisaarinen Karri Saarinen on x

  IMO they should bundle ChatGPT and browser but keep Codex out of it. The use and usage patterns are different and you might hurt Codex by bundling it

• @jasonhiner Jason Hiner on x

  Here for this, if it happens. The 3 apps are too much. And combining these 3 would provide an advantage versus both Anthropic and Perplexity.

• @berber_jin1 Berber Jin on x

  For context/clarity: OAI chief of applications Fidji Simo will oversee the change, and also tapped Greg Brockman to help with the revamp. Brockman plans to return to leading the computing team after finishing his work with creating the “superapp”

• @mweinbach Max Weinbach on x

  Not shocking, makes a ton of sense

• @omooretweets Olivia Moore on x

  As an early superfan of AI browsers, ChatGPT moving towards a desktop app instead actually makes sense to me. Perplexity Comet has been arguably the most successful product here - and while they have a real base of power users, it's been hard to maintain growth 👇 We've seen [imag…

  SCOOP - OpenAI is planning to simplify its product experience and launch one “superapp” — part of its broader effort to instill more discipline and focus into the business, and beat back the threat posed by Anthropic more here in our @WSJ story https://www.wsj.com/...

  Welcome to OpenAI! Very excited to be working together and to make great tools to make developers everywhere more productive.

  We've entered into an agreement to join OpenAI as part of the Codex team. I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done so far, incredibly grateful to everyone that's supported us, and incredibly excited to keep building tools that make programming feel different.

  UNBELIEVABLY excited about the Astral team joining OpenAI! We've long looked up to the work that @charliermarsh and his incredible team has done with ruff, uv, ty - can't believe we'll get to work together!

• @fujikanaeda Eric W. Tramel on x

  if you own an entire software ecosystem distribution channel, it means that you own the means for shipping novel codelang forks. recent moves from oai & ant here for uv & bun are incredible vertical unlocks to language+ai codesign.

• @trekedge Daniel Steigman on x

  Astral made using Python fun and easy. Their ability to write high performance Rust tooling will be a huge asset to the Codex team!

  Shit. What will happen to ‘uv’ now that [Open]AI owns it?

• @hsvsphere @hsvsphere on x

  No promise to not change uv/etc to suit OpenAI's sloppy requests. It may be over, hope it isn't. Confirms my suspicion about the Deno acquisition too, they want both runtimes/ecosystems.

  After the deal closes, OpenAI will continue supporting our open source tools, and we'll keep building in the open — for the Python ecosystem — just as we have from the start.

  I'm getting mixed signals from this post. They're we're doubling down to a niche but at the same time a super app isn't niche centric

  Anthropic would have built this in a day and a dev would have tweeted the news. At OpenAI, an exec is telling you about a plan. That gap tells you everything. In the last 7 days, Anthropic shipped Dispatch, channels, voice mode, /loop, 1M context GA, MCP elicitation, persistent

  I might be wrong but codex as a separate app is what makes it smooth and functional unlike Claude that bundled everything in one app and breaking all functionality.

• @lefttailguy @lefttailguy on x

  OpenAI is a Meta cargo cult (makes sense given 700 ex-Meta employees). One breakthrough product innovation that got them distribution and all future success comes from capitalizing on that distribution and copying product innovations from competitors. Stick to what works!

  Won't be surprised if Anthropic ships their Claude super app before Open AI. This AI war is fantastic.

• @mikeisaac Rat King on x

  they have much more room to play around here though, since FB had 20+ years of cloning startup features and the seeming inability to prune things that didnt work my guess is their sora app plummeted in use and their whole idea about “IG-like ads” needs legs for the IPO

• @mikeisaac Rat King on x

  Calling the core Chat experience a “distraction” is exactly why OpenAI is losing its community. You can't build your entire empire on everyday users and then toss them aside for enterprise coding tools without consequences. #keep4o #opensource4o [image]
