Codex Web GPT v6.1.7
V6 brings Web models into Codex's model and Effort selectors, optional Pro usage tracking, Bigger Context, and control over saved or temporary browser chats. Packages are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
6.1.7
- More reliable replies. Fixes final-answer alignment when ChatGPT finishes updating the page. Changing charts, previews and other known response controls no longer interfere with completion. Decorated links no longer cause false “composer did not preserve the complete prompt” errors.
- Model selection and loading. Fixes selection when parallel task tabs switch and recognizes localized punctuation in model and plan labels. Slow first connections can finish loading the model list, and cancelled requests no longer produce false failure banners.
- First-message failures. Fixes a permissions mismatch when the current Codex request omits a setting already recorded for that task. Actual permission changes are still checked.
- Clearer passkey sign-in on macOS. Switching from ordinary sign-in now opens the passkey flow. The launcher explains the separate Chrome window, shows progress, and enables Continue only after Chrome starts.
- Launcher recovery. A manually disconnected bridge stays disconnected across restarts and upgrades. Failed update checks retry, failed task tabs remain available for inspection, and errors during context shortening retain their original cause.
- Experimental Bigger Context for Luna and Think. Keeps temporary conversations and sends larger histories in parts. This is optional; recall in long Free-account chats remains limited. GPT-6 Sol on Plus and Instant still use standard context, now stated clearly in every launcher language.
- Tool-result reporting. Adds error status to tool-result diagnostics and clarifies that an old error quoted in a file is not a new failed command. ChatGPT safety refusals and account limits still apply.
6.1.6
- Added GPT-6 Sol and Instant while preserving GPT-5.6 as a separate choice, and repaired selection after ChatGPT's interface update.
- Updated GPT-6 context limits: Bigger Context up to 240,000 tokens on Pro at Medium, High and Extra High, with compaction at 220,000. Other plans and Instant retain standard context.
- Fixed startup and upgrades while signed out, the “Redirect was cancelled” updater error, tool discovery, and several reply-rendering failures.
