**[OpenAI 28-Day Sprint Day 9: Codex and ChatGPT Local State Data Expected to Reduce by 60%]** Beating AI Newsflash: OpenAI Product and Engineering Lead Tibo Sottiaux announced updates on Day 9 of the 28-day product sprint. This optimization focuses on how local state data is stored for the desktop versions of ChatGPT and Codex, with an expected reduction of approximately 60% in disk usage for this type of data. It’s important to note that this reduction applies to state data only and does not mean the entire app’s disk usage will decrease by 60%. Previously, many heavy users had complained about Codex consuming excessive hard drive space. On Reddit, one user reported that saved chat logs occupied 98GB, while the historical database took up another 28GB. Another user mentioned that Codex used about 50GB of space in just three weeks. Tibo acknowledged that the team has received a significant amount of feedback regarding insufficient disk space, which led to the implementation of this optimization. [Original Link]
