## Summary

OpenAI has introduced canvas, a new interface for working with ChatGPT on writing and coding projects that go beyond simple chat. Canvas opens in a separate window where users can edit text or code directly, and ChatGPT can give inline feedback and suggestions with the whole project in mind. The early beta was built with GPT-4o and rolled out to ChatGPT Plus and Team users globally, with Enterprise and Edu access following the next week and a planned release to all Free users after beta. In internal tests, the model's canvas trigger reached 83% correct triggers for writing and 94% for coding, compared with a baseline zero-shot GPT-4o.

## Comments

**macbudkowski.eth**: I think it wouldn't be that useful for devs who already use ChatGPT via APIs but just tested it for writing and it's very impressive. 

**tim**: Yeah it's a bit weird. You read that this is supposed to help people code but then they talk about all sorts of stuff
