ChatGPT 浏览器 Atlas 已死

OpenAI 正在关闭 ChatGPT Atlas，这款可以代你执行任务的浏览器，推出至今还不到一年。Atlas 曾 于去年 10 月发布，但在今天一波 关于 ChatGPT Work 的新闻中，该公司证实将“终止”Atlas，并计划于 8 月 9 日弃用该产品。

此次关闭紧随 OpenAI 削减“支线任务”并在 生产力功能上追赶 Anthropic 的动作。作为该行动的一部分，《华尔街日报》在 3 月 报道称，OpenAI 计划将 ChatGPT 应用、Codex 和 Atlas 合并成一款桌面“超级应用”——ChatGPT Work 似乎就是这一努力的成果。

在一则 关于 ChatGPT Work 公告的帖子中，其中介绍了桌面 ChatGPT 应用内的更新版浏览器和工作模式的云端浏览器，OpenAI 的 James Sun 表示：“所有这些能力都建立在 Atlas 用户给予的信任之上，他们冒险尝试了一款新浏览器。你们教会了我们智能体（agent）如何帮助让开放网络上的浏览和办公变得更好，我们正将这些经验运用到这些新产品中。”

近几个月，OpenAI 还关闭了 视频生成应用 Sora，并暂停了 ChatGPT“成人模式”的计划。

更新于 7 月 9 日 ：补充了此前关于 OpenAI 计划将 Atlas 与桌面应用合并的报道。

OpenAI is already shutting down ChatGPT Atlas, its browser that could do tasks for you on your behalf, less than a year after launching it. Atlas was announced in October, but as part of its wave of news about ChatGPT Work today, the company confirmed that it will be “sunsetting” Atlas and is targeting an August 9th date for deprecation.

The shutdown follows OpenAI’s push to reduce “side quests” and catch up with Anthropic on productivity features. As part of that push, in March, The Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI planned to combine the ChatGPT app, Codex, and Atlas into a desktop “superapp” — ChatGPT Work appears to be the result of those efforts.

In a thread about the ChatGPT Work announcements, which includes an updated browser in the desktop ChatGPT app and a cloud browser for work mode, OpenAI’s James Sun said that: “All these capabilities were built on what we learned from Atlas users who took a leap of faith on a new browser. You taught us how agents can help make browsing and doing work on the open web better, and we are applying these learnings to these new products.”

In recent months, OpenAI has also shut down the video generation app Sora and paused plans for a ChatGPT “adult mode.”
