Codex + ChatGPT Work hit 10M users

What's this about?

OpenAI's Codex coding tool plus its new "ChatGPT Work" tier crossed 10 million users, and OpenAI added a daily usage reset so paid users get fresh capacity each day. swyx calls Work + GPT-5.6 "the most company-defining launch since ChatGPT itself."

What exactly is "ChatGPT Work"?

A workplace-focused tier of ChatGPT bundling the coding agent (Codex) and enterprise features into the tools employees already use. The bet is that AI stops being a side chatbot and becomes the surface where actual job tasks — writing code, drafting, analysis — get done.

Why does it matter?

10M users on a work-specific product is the signal that AI adoption is moving from individual experimentation into standardized company deployment — the market OpenAI most wants to own.
