**[OpenAI Discontinues Atlas Browser, Merges into ChatGPT Less Than a Year After Launch]** According to monitoring by Beating, OpenAI will cease operations of its standalone browser, ChatGPT Atlas. Atlas will stop service on August 9, less than a year after its release. The core functionalities of Atlas will be integrated into ChatGPT and Codex. The new desktop version of ChatGPT now includes a browser, allowing users to open multiple tabs, download files, log into websites, and enable Agents to directly interact with web pages. Users can also access ChatGPT via a Chrome extension. Bookmarks, tabs, and browsing history from Atlas will not be automatically migrated. Users must manually export their bookmarks and save important web pages before the service is discontinued. Previously, OpenAI launched ChatGPT, Codex, and Atlas as separate products. Now, the three are being consolidated into a single desktop application, with Atlas becoming the first standalone product to be discontinued. [Original Link]
