Overall polish everyday feel of the assistant: in-progress steps inside chats show a live timer and the assistant's thinking hovers to reveal how long it reasoned; you can search inside a long chat to jump to a specific word or moment; messages stream more smoothly and stay ordered even when the connection stutters; and a new Balanced economy profile gives you a middle-ground option that keeps costs down without giving up much quality.
- Sign in through your browser. Logging in now hands you off to your normal browser (Safari, Chrome, whatever you use) and brings you back. Small change, but your password manager, saved logins, and two-factor codes all work the way they normally do.
- See how long things take. In-progress steps show a live timer so you know it's working. Hover over its "thinking" to see how long it spent reasoning. Less guessing about whether it's stuck.
- Find within a conversation. Search inside a long chat to jump to a specific word or moment.
- Smoother streaming. Messages hold together more reliably even if your connection stutters. Fewer replies arriving out of order, duplicating, or vanishing.
- A new budget-friendly profile for keeping costs down without giving up much quality. A middle ground between cheapest and best. We call it Balanced economy.
