OpenAI announcing ‘the next chapter for ChatGPT’ today, watch here

OpenAI is holding its second livestream of the week today at 10 am PT, with a teaser promising the company is "introducing the next chapter for ChatGPT." Two announcement streams in a single week is an unusually fast cadence, and the deliberately vague framing suggests OpenAI wants attention on the product itself rather than a specific feature reveal. Whatever ships, the company is clearly treating this as a milestone moment for its flagship assistant.
The most concrete hint comes from OpenAI's own prior statements: the company has openly discussed bringing Codex workflows into the main ChatGPT experience. That would move ChatGPT further from a conversational tool toward something that executes multi-step work, with coding tasks as the obvious starting point. Folding Codex into ChatGPT would also consolidate two separate products into one surface, which matters for how developers and everyday users encounter OpenAI's agentic capabilities.
The phrase "next chapter" sets expectations high, and back-to-back livestreams imply the announcements are meant to be read together as a coordinated push. Until the stream airs, the safest read is that OpenAI is repositioning ChatGPT's core identity rather than adding an incremental feature. The event streams today at 10 am PT, so the specifics will be clear within hours.
