> I believe ChatGPT Work sessions are billed against your Codex allowance, while ChatGPT Chat Sessions get their own, separate allowance. This may help explain the model availability differences

That's correct, and also why ChatGPT Work is DOA for me personally.

I need 100% of my Codex budget for Codex.

Too bad, it would have been nice to have a few extra features for the chat interface.

If we voice this opinion publicly, the most likely end result is that OpenAI will start billing our chat sessioms against our Codex budget too.

I thought they just did this? People were using some loophole to use their Chat sessions to power their Codex usage after their Codex quotas had run out.

No, it's still separate. I don't know what that exploit was though, so possibly they just patched that.

Similarly, I use my budget with Shelley on exe.dev. But it seems nice that as far as I can tell, for ChatGPT usage, coding agents compete on a level footing.

I still might try ChatGPT Work sometime if there was some feature I couldn't get from Shelley.

Work is for heavy work that runs in the background. It can make a hundred slide deck for me with speaker notes and visual verification of each slide, all without breaking a sweat. See my gist ac89399e688ab5c85ad021f091606e36 for the skill.

The things it can't do is use the embedding or TTS models as a part of its quota, which is sad. It also cannot read a video.

Welcome to a generic large corporation, where they spend billions on making a product, and $0 on checking if the product makes any sense to a real user.

If it makes you feel any better, I have just upvoted every submission made by your account.

I mean he is kind of speaking truth. Anything Simon posts seems to get upvoted and this article is nothing special or interesting. It's like a tutorial for a feature of a ChatGPT subscription.... Cool.

Occam's Razor would suggest that's because Simon posts good content.

You can check his domain history to confirm that not everything Simon posts gets upvoted. https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=simonwillison.net
