OpenAI 28 days of sprinting Day9：Codex and ChatGPT local state data is expected to decrease by 60%Beating AI news flash,OpenAI Head of Product and Platform Tibo Sottiaux announced 28 days into the product sprint, Day 9. This update optimized the way ChatGPT and Codex desktop apps save local state data, and the disk space occupied by this data is expected to decrease by approximately 60%. This reduction applies to state data and does not mean the space occupied by the entire app will decrease by 60%.
Previously, many heavy users complained that Codex took up too much hard-drive space. On Reddit, one user said that saved chat history occupied 98GB, while the historical database occupied 28GB; another user said that Codex occupied approximately 3 within just 50GB weeks. Tibo acknowledged that the team had received extensive feedback about insufficient disk space, and therefore introduced this optimization.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This optimization targets the local state data saved by the app, namely some usage records and related data on the device. The expected reduction applies to the space occupied by this data, not the size of the entire application.
Why it matters to readers
If the optimization takes effect as intended, heavy users may gain more disk space; however, the approximately 60%reduction is still only an estimate reported in the coverage.
Using ChatGPT or Codex desktop apps may cause disk space usage to be affected by local data, but the approximately 60%reduction should not be understood to mean that the app as a whole will become smaller. 60%。
