OpenAI Merges 2 ChatGPT Tabs for Select Users as Codex Keeps Separate Role

Summary
Select users are being invited to test a single ChatGPT workspace that combines the desktop app’s Chat and Work tabs, according to an OpenAI email.
The merged view is meant to cut confusion and let users move from brainstorming to execution in one place, including using files and plugins to build websites, presentations or web tasks while supervising ChatGPT’s work.
Codex will remain separate, but the transition will make ChatGPT and Codex draw from the same token allowance pool; OpenAI said most users should see little impact, though some may hit reset limits sooner.
Anthropic made a similar simplification in September when it combined Claude’s chat and Cowork functions into a single screen.
