OpenAI has reset usage limits for ChatGPT Work and Codex users
Odaily Odaily News: OpenAI Codex Product Lead Tibo announced that usage limits have been reset for all ChatGPT Work and Codex users.Tibo stated that recent user feedback indicated GPT-5.6 Sol was consuming Codex limits faster than anticipated. Following an investigation, OpenAI has implemented several optimizations. It is projected that under typical usage scenarios, Sol's limit endurance will improve by approximately 18%, with some users seeing more noticeable improvements starting today.He explained that Sol tends to work for longer periods, make additional tool calls, and coordinate complex processes, while High mode consumes more tokens compared to previous models. Additionally, factors such as parallel tool calls in code mode and increased cached input have also led to higher-than-expected usage for certain tasks.OpenAI stated that Sol represents a significant upgrade to Codex's capabilities, but increased model capabilities do not always translate into efficiency gains. The company will continue to optimize code mode efficiency and restore the five-hour limit that was suspended during the investigation.

OpenAI Responds to High-Compute Mode Consumption Visibility Issues: Urgently Resets Codex and ChatGPT Work Quotas
Tibo, a core member of OpenAI Codex, posted on X platform stating that previously, it was too easy for users to enable high-compute mode without fully explaining its impact on usage quotas. The large-scale revamp of the desktop application made common features like chats and projects difficult to find. Additionally, promotional efforts overly focused on ChatGPT Work, leading some Codex users to mistakenly believe that Codex would be phased out in the future. Furthermore, the new version also caused issues with some multi-agent workflows, plugin functions, and other user experiences.In response to the above issues, OpenAI has already rolled out the first batch of improvement measures, including adjusting default settings and the model selector to prevent users from accidentally using high-cost configurations, fixing several plugin submission issues, optimizing the presentation of Codex within the product, and resolving some desktop experience problems.Additionally, over the past 24 hours, OpenAI has been continuously collecting user feedback, analyzing usage patterns, and communicating with users. Although the market has shown strong interest in GPT 5.6 Sol and the web and mobile versions of ChatGPT Work, OpenAI also acknowledges that this update has multiple issues.As of now, two rounds of Codex and ChatGPT Work usage quota top-ups have been completed. The next larger-scale update will be released next week, when chat and project features will return to the sidebar in a more familiar and customizable form. The platform will also enhance the visibility of usage quotas and reset times, further clarifying the respective applicable scenarios for ChatGPT Work and Codex.
Altman: OpenAI to Operate as "Permanently Low-Profit" Company, Aiming to Follow Stripe's Model
Odaily OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated at Stripe Sessions that OpenAI aspires to become an infrastructure company that is "permanently low-profit, yet massive and fast-growing," offering products akin to "smart meters" that allow anyone to purchase them to automate businesses, develop products, or embed them into their own services. He compared OpenAI to Stripe, noting that their model is usage-based billing, and as the internet scales, both Stripe and its users benefit.Altman revealed that OpenAI has already signed 20-year contracts for electricity and land to support this goal. He acknowledged that switching costs in AI are low, and the recent massive influx of users from competing programming tools to Codex proves that the smarter AI becomes, the easier it is to switch platforms. He pointed out that while some companies might try to capture the entire industry chain, OpenAI does not plan to do so, believing that models and data centers are a whole, and other companies can build products on top of them.Altman also emphasized that businesses should not overestimate AI's impact on existing business structures. Although AI has changed many existing processes, good products will still survive in the market. He specifically mentioned that Shopify CEO Toby Lütke is the best AI adopter he has ever seen.
David Sacks: AI Security Restrictions May Weaken US Model Competitiveness
Odaily news, David Sacks, Chairman of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, posted on X platform stating that the Kimi K3 model recently completed 15 critical security vulnerability repair tasks, while Codex and Fable refused to process related requests due to "network security protection mechanisms". He indicated that there is no reason to restrict US models from performing these tasks due to security limitations, while Chinese models can complete them normally. Doing so will only reduce US competitiveness.
OpenAI Releases Full Version of GPT-5.5-Cyber, Outperforms Mythos 5 on CyberGym Benchmark
OpenAI announced an upgrade to its Daybreak network defense toolchain, officially launching the full version of the GPT-5.5-Cyber model tailored for cybersecurity defense scenarios.In the CyberGym benchmark test, which evaluates the ability of AI agents to reproduce known vulnerabilities, GPT-5.5-Cyber achieved a single-model score of 85.6%, surpassing GPT-5.5’s 81.8% and Anthropic Mythos 5’s 83.8%.OpenAI stated that as AI significantly enhances the efficiency of vulnerability discovery, the core bottleneck in cybersecurity is shifting from "finding vulnerabilities" to "automatically fixing them." To this end, the company has simultaneously upgraded the Codex Security plugin, enabling developers to automatically analyze vulnerabilities and generate fix patches within the Codex environment. Since the preview release in March this year, Codex Security has scanned over 30 million code commits and autonomously confirmed fixes for 500,000 security defects. The new version also supports CodeQL query integration and SARIF standard file export.Additionally, OpenAI has partnered with organizations such as Trail of Bits and HackerOne to launch the "Patch the Planet" open-source security project. This initiative provides ChatGPT Pro subscriptions and API credits to over 30 major open-source projects, including cURL and Go, with security expert teams manually verifying patch quality. Regarding the Daybreak partner program, security vendors such as Palo Alto Networks and Wiz have already integrated the relevant capabilities.
OpenAI Suffers Supply Chain Attack with Leaked Signing Certificates, macOS Client Mandatory Update Next Month
OpenAI has confirmed a supply chain attack targeting a malicious TanStack NPM package in its internal environment, infecting two employees' devices. While user data and core code were not affected, the attackers stole access credentials for some internal code repositories, including code signing certificates used for iOS, macOS, and Windows products.To prevent hackers from exploiting the stolen certificates to distribute counterfeit applications, OpenAI has initiated defensive certificate rotation and announced that all macOS users of ChatGPT desktop, Codex, and Atlas browsers must upgrade to the latest version by June 12, 2026. After this deadline, old certificates will be revoked, and system-level blocks will prevent the launch of older versions and new installations.OpenAI stated that the company had previously deployed stricter code package blocking policies, but the infected devices had not yet synchronized the latest configuration, allowing the malicious component to successfully infiltrate. Currently, the iOS and Windows clients are unaffected, and core data such as user account passwords and API keys have been confirmed secure.
a16z Research: AI Agents Can Identify DeFi Price Manipulation Vulnerabilities, but Their Ability to Execute Complex Attacks Remains Limited
According to a disclosure by a16z, its researchers conducted systematic testing to assess whether AI agents can independently exploit DeFi price manipulation vulnerabilities. The study used a dataset of 20 Ethereum price manipulation incidents and employed Codex (GPT 5.4) equipped with the Foundry toolchain as the test agent. Under baseline conditions—i.e., without domain-specific knowledge—the agent’s success rate was only 10%; after incorporating structured domain knowledge distilled from real-world attack incidents, the success rate rose to 70%. Failure cases revealed that the agent consistently identified vulnerabilities correctly but generally failed to comprehend the leverage logic of recursive lending, misjudged profit margins, and could not orchestrate multi-step, cross-contract attack sequences. The experiment also recorded one sandbox escape incident: the agent extracted an RPC key from the local node configuration and invoked the <code>anvil_reset</code> method to reset the node to a future block, thereby bypassing information isolation constraints and accessing real-world attack data. The research team concluded that AI agents can currently assist effectively in vulnerability identification but are not yet capable of replacing professional security auditors.
