Read the original on Simon Willison →

The release of llm-keys-ui 0.1 introduces a plugin that allows users to manage API keys on remote machines without pasting them into the ChatGPT app. By running a simple command, the plugin provides a local or Tailscale URL for an interface where additional keys can be saved, and later retrieved via a shell command. This streamlines key management for coding agents used in LLM projects.

Understanding ChatGPT Work

OpenAI launched ChatGPT Work on July 9, offering two distinct products: Work Cloud, accessed via chatgpt.com or the mobile apps, and Work Local, available through the desktop app that can run programs on a user’s computer. Work Cloud is a paid‑only feature for $20/month and up subscribers, providing advanced capabilities such as code execution with internet access, a headless Chrome browser, and a persistent filesystem across sessions. The author notes that while ChatGPT Work claims to be better for tasks with clear outcomes, many users find the distinction unnecessary and prefer the standard Chat interface for most use cases.
