Next week we’ll be retiring GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark. Can you believe we shipped a model named as such!! It's had a good run and was a lot of fun, but usage has been declining and we have significantly better models now. Time to make room for the future.

@bchernyHey ████, I think there is room for both. 1. Prototypes and other throw-away code can be treated as totally black box. If you’re going to throw it away anyway, and if the blast radius of it breaking is low, it doesn’t need to be perfect. 2. Production code...
