OpenAI Axes ChatGPT Atlas by Aug. 9 as New Desktop App Absorbs Browser Features

Summary
Aug. 9 is OpenAI’s target to deprecate ChatGPT Atlas, the standalone desktop browser the company launched on Mac in October.
The shutdown comes with a new ChatGPT desktop app that folds in robust browser capabilities alongside ChatGPT Work and ChatGPT Codex.
Chrome users can still access ChatGPT through a desktop browser plugin, letting OpenAI keep browser integration without requiring a full browser switch.
Atlas had already been partly folded into OpenAI’s products—Codex gained an in-app browser in April—before the company bundled those functions into one desktop app.
