The ChatGPT browser is already dead

ChatGPT 浏览器已死

Less than a year after launch, Atlas is being shut down. 在发布不到一年后，Atlas 项目即将被关闭。

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. OpenAI 正在关闭其 ChatGPT Atlas 浏览器——这款能够代你执行任务的浏览器在推出不到一年后就将终结。Atlas 于去年 10 月发布，但作为今天 ChatGPT Work 系列新闻的一部分，该公司确认将“停用”Atlas，并计划在 8 月 9 日正式弃用。

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. 此次关闭是 OpenAI 减少“支线任务”并追赶 Anthropic 在生产力功能方面进展的举措之一。作为该计划的一部分，《华尔街日报》曾在 3 月报道称，OpenAI 计划将 ChatGPT 应用、Codex 和 Atlas 合并为一个桌面级“超级应用”——ChatGPT Work 似乎正是这些努力的成果。

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.” 在关于 ChatGPT Work 公告的讨论帖中（其中包括桌面版 ChatGPT 应用中更新的浏览器以及用于工作模式的云端浏览器），OpenAI 的 James Sun 表示：“所有这些功能都建立在我们从 Atlas 用户身上学到的经验之上，感谢你们对这款新浏览器的信任。你们教会了我们智能体如何帮助改善在开放网络上的浏览和工作体验，我们正将这些经验应用到这些新产品中。”

In recent months, OpenAI has also shut down the video generation app Sora and paused plans for a ChatGPT “adult mode.” 近几个月来，OpenAI 还关闭了视频生成应用 Sora，并暂停了 ChatGPT“成人模式”的计划。
