About GPT Advent
An advent calendar for the 28 days in which OpenAI ships something every day for Codex and ChatGPT Work. One door per day, filled in with what actually shipped, and a vote on every one.
Where the 28 days come from
Tibo of the Codex team at OpenAI (@thsottiaux) announced that for 28 days, every day brings one of two things: a clear improvement that matters to most Codex and ChatGPT Work users, or a full usage reset. GPT Advent turns those days into a calendar, from Mon 5 Oct to Sun 1 Nov 2026.
How a door gets filled in
Once OpenAI has shipped, that day's door gets what shipped: a title, a short summary and links to the source. Every door is one of two kinds:
- Shipped: an improvement for Codex or ChatGPT Work.
- Full reset: a reset of everyone's usage instead.
A new door opens at midnight San Francisco time, because that's where the ships come from. A door that hasn't opened yet stays shut, however hard you press it.
Opening doors
Doors you open on the calendar stay open on this device: your browser remembers them in its own local storage, and nothing about it is sent to us. The × inside a door closes it again. Every door also has its own page, from day 1 to day 28.
Voting
- One vote per door per IP address. An IPv6 address counts by its /64, the block one connection is given.
- Press your vote again to take it back, or press the other one to change it.
- The counts are live: everyone looking at the calendar sees each vote as it lands.
- We keep a keyed hash of your address next to your vote, never the address itself.
The data
Every door, with its state and its counts, is at /api/days.json, free to use.
