ChatGPT, Codex Cut Desktop Storage 60%

OpenAI has optimized on-disk state storage for its ChatGPT and Codex desktop apps, reducing the footprint by 60%. The change targets power users whose long-running agent sessions have consumed substantial disk space.

// ANALYSIS

This is an unglamorous but essential fix for desktop agents that persist increasingly large workflows locally.

  • –Addresses a recurring pain point as long-running threads, tool outputs, and subagents accumulate on disk
  • –Could significantly extend usable storage for heavy Codex users
  • –Community reports have documented local session and runtime directories growing to tens or hundreds of gigabytes
  • –The reduction targets stored state, but may not eliminate separate high disk-write or cache-churn issues
  • –Better storage management is becoming a core reliability feature for agent workspaces
