Two environments are available: Work Cloud, which operates in the cloud, and Work Local, which accesses files and programs directly on a user's PC. A subscription of $20 per month or more is required for use.
A key technical feature is that the code execution environment can connect to the internet. This allows for package installations and integration with websites, which were previously restricted in standard ChatGPT Chat.
Browser tools are also included. OpenAI reports that ChatGPT Work can launch Chrome to load websites, fill out forms, and take screenshots.
Model options have also expanded. In Work, models such as Sol, Luna, and Terra from GPT-5.6 can be selected alongside inference level specifications. It is speculated that these operate on the same mechanism as the models provided via OpenAI's API.
