Gemini 3, our most intelligent model yet, is available to everyone in the appWhat:Gemini 3 Pro is rolling out to everyone in the Gemini app starting today, with higher limits for users in the Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra plans. It brings state-of-the-art reasoning to your most complex problems, and is our best vibe coding model yet. It can also reason across text, images, audio and video better than ever before. So whether you're uploading a video of you playing a sport to get advice on how to improve your form, or transcribing notes from a lecture that you missed, the Gemini app can help without missing a beat.Starting from your first use, you'll also notice that responses are more helpful, better formatted and more concise.Try Gemini 3 Pro by selecting 'Thinking' in the model drop-down.Why:We want to make Gemini the most helpful AI assistant for everyone. With the advanced reasoning of Gemini 3 Pro, you can now tackle your most ambitious projects with greater confidence and efficiency.Introducing visual layout and dynamic view in Gemini LabsWhat:We're introducing two new experimental Labs features in the Gemini app: visual layout and dynamic view. Powered by Gemini 3 and new advances from Google Research, these features make your responses more engaging and interactive.Visual layout uses multimodal capabilities to move beyond text, generating a visually immersive response with photos and interactive modules. These elements solicit your feedback and help you further customise Gemini's response across multiple turns. Try asking Gemini to 'plan a three-day trip to Rome next summer', and you'll get a visual itinerary that you can actually explore and customise based on what interests you.Dynamic view takes this a step further using agentic coding capabilities. Gemini will design and code a unique experience with a user interface that’s perfect for your specific prompt. For example, ask Gemini to “explain the Van Gogh Gallery with life context for each piece,” and yo

We’re piloting group chats so you can bring people - and ChatGPT - into the same conversation. Plan trips, make decisions, and collaborate on projects together while ChatGPT helps search, summarize, generate content, and keep everyone on the same page.
Group chats are starting to roll out on ChatGPT Web, iOS, and Android in New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. We’ll use early feedback from this pilot to improve the experience and inform how we expand to more regions and plans over time. To learn more visit theblog.

We’re updating GPT-5 to GPT-5.1 Instant and GPT-5.1 Thinking, making answers both smarter and more conversational. GPT-5.1 Instant now uses light adaptive reasoning for tougher questions while staying fast, and GPT-5.1 Thinking adapts its thinking time more precisely for complex tasks with clearer, less jargony responses.
GPT-5.1 Auto continues to route each query to the best model, and GPT-5 models remain available for three months under the Legacy models dropdown so you can compare and transition at your own pace.
GPT-5.1 Instant and Thinking are rolling out first to paid (Pro, Plus, Go, Business) users, then to free and logged-out users, with Enterprise and Edu getting a temporary early-access toggle; GPT-5.1 will also be available soon in the API as gpt-5.1-chat-latest (Instant) and gpt-5.1 (Thinking).

We’re updating ChatGPT’s tone controls so it’s easier to make responses sound the way you prefer. You can now choose from updated presets like Default, Friendly, Efficient, Professional, Candid, and Quirky (with Cynical and Nerdy still available), and we’re experimenting with more granular controls over how concise, warm, or scannable responses are, plus how often emojis appear.
Changes you make in Personalization now apply across all chats immediately (including existing conversations), and GPT-5.1 models follow your custom instructions and style preferences more reliably.

Previously, changes you made to your ChatGPT personality or custom instructions only applied to new conversations. Starting today, updates you make in Settings → Personalization are applied immediately across all chats (including existing conversations!) so your experience stays consistent everywhere without needing to start a new thread.

You can now interrupt long-running queries (such as deep research or GPT-5 Pro) to refine what you’re asking—no restart required or progress lost. For example, if you're researching the perfect bookshelf and suddenly remember that your wall is 72" wide and you can't drill into it, you can simply add that information midstream by clicking “update” in the sidebar and sending the new information as a message. The model will adjust its approach based on your new requirements.
