Full Summary
This Monday morning, OpenAI rolls out a significant update to its ChatGPT macOS app: a new "Computer History" feature, confirmed by Digital Trends, Techgenyz, Varindia, Yahoo Tech, and eGamers. This opt-in capability allows ChatGPT and its Codex agent to observe and log your Mac activity—including clicks and keystrokes—creating a searchable timeline of your app and website usage. While designed to offer more personalized responses and act as a real-life assistant, allowing the AI to understand your work and provide context without repetitive explanations, Digital Trends and Yahoo Tech highlight a major privacy concern: these activity files are stored as unencrypted plain-text. TechnoSports Media Group issues an urgent alert, stating the feature logs everything typed, potentially exposing sensitive data like API keys or passwords, even if deleted before sending. While OpenAI clarifies it doesn't capture screenshots or audio, and users can exclude apps or delete history, the unencrypted storage remains a notable risk. In other news, OpenAI is expanding its 1 million-token context window for the GPT-5.6 Sol model to ChatGPT subscribers, previously an API-exclusive feature, according to KuCoin. Engineer Tibo confirms this allows subscribed users to manually enable the full context window for the Codex programming agent, enabling more complex tasks like large-scale codebase refactoring. However, this powerful feature can rapidly consume subscription quotas. Additionally, 36Kr reports OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Multi-Agent V2 significantly boosts speed, allowing 741 conversation rounds per second. An internal Slack message reveals a 94% faster application loading speed and a 99.6% drop in conversation history loading time. OpenAI President Greg Brockman notes the new Multi-Agent v2 version of Codex automatically delegates subtasks to different models, moving away from manual model selection. Finally, PicPay, a major Brazilian digital bank, has integrated with ChatGPT, allowing users to access financial information like balances and bills through natural language commands, as reported by GlobeNewswire and Quiver Quantitative. This means your financial data could soon be just a chatbot query away, while on your Mac, a new AI feature is logging your every digital move, potentially changing how you interact with your computer and your personal data.
