OpenAI will deprecate Atlas on August 9, but the browser isn’t dead—it’s being folded into a redesigned ChatGPT desktop app and an updated Chrome extension as part of a broader “super app” that pairs ChatGPT with Codex and ChatGPT Work. The shift treats browsing as a feature, not a standalone destination, with new capabilities like Sites that can generate personal web apps and an integrated browsing experience across OpenAI’s products rather than maintaining Atlas as a separate browser.

Apple accuses OpenAI of pilfering hardware secrets in lawsuit

Apple has filed a lawsuit accusing OpenAI of a pattern of misappropriating Apple’s trade secrets to boost its hardware efforts, naming IO Products (Jony Ive’s startup bought by OpenAI in 2025) and two former Apple employees, Tang Tan and Chang Liu.

Critic reviews OpenAI's new Mac ChatGPT 'Super App' as a bloated, confusing mashup that shifts away from a traditional chat UI to 'Chat' Work/Code experiences, is delivered as an Electron app, and blends Codex with Claude-like tools, burying the familiar chat by default; Atlas is hidden inside it as a minimal browser, while a useful model slider is the only bright spot amid a cluttered, branding-heavy interface—raising concerns about consumer UX and possible ad-driven ambitions.
