OpenAI Ships ChatGPT Work — an Agent That Delivers Finished Docs, Slides, and Web Apps

GPT-5.6 agent takes a goal, pulls context from connected apps, and returns spreadsheets, decks, docs, and interactive sites over hours-long runs.
Codex and ChatGPT merge into one desktop app on macOS and Windows; old app becomes ChatGPT Classic, Chat/Work/Codex land on every plan including Free.
Rolling out July 9 to Pro/Enterprise/Edu on web and mobile; Plus and Business follow in days.
New Chrome extension, revamped in-app browser, and faster Computer Use also shipped alongside.

Multimodal reasoning model with 1M-token context, native primary/subagent orchestration, and MCP + custom-skill support.
Meta Model API opens in public preview at $1.25/M input and $4.25/M output — ~10× cheaper than Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 flagships.
Marks a strategic reversal for Meta: proprietary closed weights via a paid API, not an open Llama drop; open-source Muse Spark still promised later.
Launch partners include Replit, Cline, and Box; SOTA on MedScribe and TaxEval, top row on tool-use and tool-augmented reasoning benchmarks.

Available to Free, Pro, and Max users who have memory turned on; excludes incognito chats and health-integration data.
TechCrunch, Axios, and Engadget frame it as retention-tinted — a tool that surfaces how much you depend on Claude while nudging you to reflect.
