I am relatively sure that @OpenAI was caught off guard by Anthropic today and postponed the release unexpectedly. I cannot really explain it any other way, given how damn quiet it was, even though every Codex Thursday usually comes with announcements, even if they are only small ones. Today, there were a few small updates mentioned on the website, but they were not even properly announced on X. And when you also consider that there was vagueposting by OpenAI staff just yesterday, everything points in that direction for me. Are you guys disappointed, or do you think it is better this way?

@giordanorandone @OpenAI Nah. The only thing that caught us off guard was a bug we discovered last minute. And we decided to not ship the said bug.

@thsottiaux @giordanorandone @OpenAI I can attest to this because the product I was shipping was the one that held the launch because of bug :)

@JamesZmSun @thsottiaux @giordanorandone @OpenAI so browser related?
