GPT-5.5 retires from Codex for ChatGPT sign-ins

Since October 14 at 19:00 UTC, Codex sessions signed in with ChatGPT can no longer use GPT-5.5. API key sessions are unaffected.

Why it matters. Update workspace defaults, saved settings, custom agents, scheduled tasks and scripts that still select gpt-5.5. OpenAI recommends gpt-6.1-sol.

Claude API exports OpenTelemetry traces in beta

Messages API requests and Claude Managed Agents sessions can send traces to your observability backend once you add a destination in the Claude Console.

Why it matters. Teams can follow Claude calls in the tracing tools they already run instead of building custom logging.
