Codex Web GPT v6.1.8
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.
6.1.8
- More reliable message sending. Large messages no longer hit a shorter send limit than multipart requests, and a busy ChatGPT page does not hide a message that was already accepted. Attachments finish processing before the message is sent. Code-heavy context no longer stalls ChatGPT's Markdown parser.
- Long tasks and compaction. An active response connection keeps a task alive when ChatGPT hides its generation controls. Context shortening keeps waiting while the original task is still active, and resumed tasks can recover their workspace correctly.
- Bigger Context on Plus. GPT-6 Sol at Medium, High and available Extra High now supports up to 120,000 tokens on Plus, with compaction at 110,000. Pro retains 240,000/220,000. Instant keeps its standard context.
- Browser and reply handling. Recognizes Stop and Think controls across interface languages, preserves the browser's usable size during navigation, and fixes final-answer alignment around horizontal rules.
- Better failure details. Safe logs can capture the page structure at the moment a reply is lost, without conversation text. Browser security checks now produce a specific message. These diagnostics help investigate remaining reports; they do not mean every missing-reply or sign-in problem is fixed.
Included from 6.1.7
- Improved final replies, charts, previews, decorated links, model selection, and slow model-list loading. Added optional Bigger Context for Luna and Think.
- Improved passkey sign-in, startup and update recovery, preserved failed task tabs for inspection, and clarified tool errors.
