LLM Changelog

Shopping research is a new interactive experience that helps you find the right products without doing all the research yourself. Describe what you need—like a quiet cordless vacuum for a small apartment, a gift for a four‑year‑old who loves art, or a way to choose between three bikes—and ChatGPT will ask clarifying questions, research deeply across the internet, review quality sources, and build on ChatGPT’s understanding of you from past conversations and memory to return a personalized buyer’s guide with options, tradeoffs, and links to buy.
ChatGPT learns what you like through an interactive interface allowing you to guide the research based on your real-time feedback.
Shopping research is available on ChatGPT Web, iOS, and Android for logged‑in Free, Go, Plus, and Pro users. To help with holiday shopping, we’re making usage nearly unlimited across plans through the season. To learn more, visit theblog.

ChatGPT now adds more inline images from the web to help you quickly understand topics like well-known people, places, and products. When visuals can add clarity, you’ll see images placed beside the relevant paragraph. You can click on any of the images to see them in original dimensions and with the source attribution.
These improvements are gradually rolling out globally across all ChatGPT plans, on web, iOS, and Android for responses using GPT 5.1.

You can now find and buy from Shopify merchants starting with Spanx, Skims, and Glossier through Instant Checkout in ChatGPT.
When a product from a Shopify merchant supports Instant Checkout, you can complete the purchase right in thechat with a quick confirmation of your shipping and payment details.
Instant Checkout is available for logged in Plus, Pro, and Free users in the US.

By bringing Gemini's advanced conversational capabilities to Android Auto, we're providing a more natural, capable and helpful hands-free assistant that can tackle complex tasks while you stay focused on driving.

Today we’re updating GPT-5 Pro to GPT-5.1 Pro. In early testing, users consistently preferred GPT-5.1 Pro over GPT-5 Pro, rating it especially highly for writing help, data science, and business questions. Testers highlighted the model’s improved clarity, relevance, and structure in its responses.
GPT-5.1 Pro is rolling out today for all ChatGPT Pro users and is available in the model picker. GPT-5 Pro will remain available as a legacy model for 90 days before being retired.

- Launched the first Gemini 3 series model, `gemini-3-pro-preview`, our
state-of-the-art reasoning and multimodal understanding model with powerful
agentic and coding capabilities.

In addition to improvements in intelligence and performance,
Gemini 3 Pro Preview introduces new behavior around:
- [Media resolution](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/media-resolution)
- [Thought signatures](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/thought-signatures)
- [Thinking levels](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/thinking#thinking-levels)

Read the [Gemini 3 Developer Guide](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/gemini-3) for
migration, new features, and specs.

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.

ChatGPT now manages saved memories automatically by keeping the most relevant details prioritized and moving less important ones to the background. This helps prevent saved memories from reaching capacity and helps avoid “memory full” state in your ChatGPT account.
To decide which memories stay top of mind, ChatGPT considers factors such as how recent a detail is and how often you talk about a topic. You can now also search your saved memories more easily and sort them by newest or oldest.
You’re always in control: you can turn off automatic memory management at any time, and you can see which memories are currently top of mind and choose to prioritize or deprioritize any specific memory yourself in settings. You can also view and restore prior versions of saved memories.
These updates are designed to make saved memory feel seamless, reliable, and easy to manage. We’re beginning to roll this out to Plus and Pro users globally on the web.

We're excited to announce that ChatGPT Go, our low cost subscription plan, is now available in71 additional countries, bringing total coverage to89 countries.
For an affordable price, ChatGPT Go provides everything included in theFreeplan, and:

We’re rolling out two new ways to bring Slack and ChatGPT together: aconnectorthat brings your Slack context into ChatGPT, and a ChatGPT app for Slack – an integration that enables you to chat with ChatGPT from inside Slack.
With theChatGPT app for Slack,you can chat one-on-one with ChatGPT in a dedicated Slack sidebar – a space to ask questions, summarize long threads into action items, draft replies, and search messages and files you already have access to. Chats you start in Slack also appear in your ChatGPT sidebar, so it’s easy to pick up later from web or mobile. Semantic search is supported for Slack customers with AI enabled on Business+ or Enterprise+ plans; all other plans use keyword search.
With theChatGPT connector for Slack,you can securely bring in context from your Slack channels and DMs, making responses more helpful Available in chat, Deep Research, and Agent Mode. Users can enable fromSettings > Apps & Connectors.
Both app and connector are available toPlus, Pro, Business and Enterprise/Educustomers. Additionally, the ChatGPT app for Slack requires apaid Slack account;availability and workspace installation may depend on your Slack workspace settings.
Installing the app requires the connector to be enabled for your account.

Updating GPT-5
We’re updatingGPT-5 Instantto better recognize and support people in moments of distress.
The model is trained to more accurately detect and respond to potential signs of mental and emotional distress. These updates were guided by mental health experts, and help ChatGPT de-escalate conversations and point people to real-world crisis resources when appropriate, while still using language that feels supportive and grounding.
As we shared in arecent blog, we've been using our real-time router to direct sensitive parts of conversations—such as those showing signs of acute distress—to reasoning models. GPT-5 Instant now performs just as well as GPT-5 Thinking on these types of questions. When GPT-5 Auto or a non-reasoning model is selected, we'll instead route these conversations to GPT-5 Instant to more quickly provide helpful and beneficial responses. ChatGPT will continue to tell users which model is active when asked.
This update to GPT-5 Instant is starting to roll out to ChatGPT users today.We’re continuing to work on improvements and will keep updating the model to make it smarter and safer over time.

We’re rolling out parental controls globally in ChatGPT to help families guide how ChatGPT works in their homes. Available starting on the web today, mobile soon.
To set up parental controls, a parent or guardian sends an invite to their teen to connect accounts. After the teen accepts, the parent can manage the teen’s settings from their own account. Teens can also invite a parent to connect.
Once a teen is connected to a parent’s account, they automatically receive additional content protections, such as reduced graphic content and viral challenges. Parents will have the option to turn this setting off if they choose, but teen users cannot make changes.
Parents don’t have access to their teen’s conversations, except in rare cases where our system and trained reviewers detect possible signs of serious safety risk, parents may be notified — but only with the information needed to support their teen’s safety. Parents can choose if they’d like to be contacted by email, SMS, push notification, or all three.
Parents can adjust certain features, set time limits, and add safeguards that work for their family including:
Set quiet hours, or specific times when ChatGPT can’t be used.Turn off voice mode, to remove the option to use voice mode in ChatGPT.Turn off memory, so ChatGPT won’t save and use memories when responding.Remove image generation, so ChatGPT won’t have the ability to create or edit images.Opt out of model training,so their teen’s conversations won’t be used to improve models powering ChatGPT and Sora.

We’re introducing Instant Checkout in ChatGPT and the Agentic Commerce Protocol that powers it, built with Stripe.
ChatGPT can help you find anything on the web and now with Instant Checkout, you can seamlessly buy directly from the merchant, right in chat. Starting today, U.S. ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Free users can buy directly from U.S. Etsy sellers through ChatGPT, with over 1 million Shopify merchants, like Glossier, SKIMS, Spanx and Vuori, coming soon.
Instant Checkout
Instant Checkout makes it easy to go from chat to checkout in just a few taps.
Ask ChatGPT a shopping question and it finds organic, unsponsored product results from across the web.Choose an item and ChatGPT shows where to buy, ranking merchants by factors like inventory, price, quality, primary seller status, and Instant Checkout availability.If Instant Checkout is offered, tap Buy, confirm shipping and payment details, and pay in one tap with your card on file or other express pay options.If Instant Checkout isn’t available, ChatGPT provides a direct link so you can purchase from the merchant’s site.
You’re in control at all times and give explicit confirmation to purchase. Payment goes directly from you to the merchant, not through OpenAI.Learn more about Instant Checkout.
Agentic Commerce Protocol
The Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) gives merchants and developers a way to build agentic commerce experiences that work with their current systems and connect them with 700M+ weekly active users on ChatGPT.
If you’re a merchant and want to add Instant Checkout in ChatGPT, apply on ourmerchant page.We’ll be accepting and onboarding merchants on a rolling basis.
Developers can start exploring the Agentic Commerce Protocoldocumentationand example implementations onGitHub.

- Released Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5 model in preview. See the

We’re launching an early preview of ChatGPT pulse forPro users on iOS and Android. This is a new experience where ChatGPT can now proactively deliver personalized, focused updates for you once a day. These updates are based on asynchronous research ChatGPT can do on your behalf overnight, synthesizing information from your memory, chat history, and direct feedback to learn what’s most relevant to you.
Updates are delivered once a day as visual summaries you can scan at a glance or dive deeper into. Each topic opens into more detail where you can ask follow-up questions. You can shape what shows up in pulse with a quick thumbs up or down, or by using curate to tell ChatGPT what you’d like to see.
If you ask for something new in the evening, we aim to include it the next morning, though exact timing may vary. Pulse refreshes daily, and you can save any item into a chat to keep it.
As a preview, pulse has some limitations. It aims to show you what’s most relevant and useful but you may still see suggestions that miss the mark. For example, you may get tips for a project you already completed. You can guide what shows up by telling ChatGPT directly. It remembers your feedback for next time and improves as it learns from real use.
It requires saved memory and chat history to be turned on, and you can switch pulse off anytime in settings. SeeChatGPT Pulse.

Update to 2.5 Flash in GeminiWhat:An enhanced version of Gemini 2.5 Flash is now available to Gemini app users. Responses are now better organised with improved formatting. Gemini 2.5 Flash uses elements like headers, lists and tables to make even complex outputs clearer and easier to understand. We've also improved image understanding, so that Gemini can better interpret and respond to your uploads.To feel the difference, try working through a problem at school or work involving an image, like a diagram, and asking Gemini to walk you through it; or upload your class notes and ask Gemini to organise, summarise or create flashcards for you.Why:We're committed to continually improving performance and making Gemini a more insightful, collaborative partner. When it's better at understanding context and images, it's easier for you to create, interact and accomplish your goals.

- Released `gemini-2.5-flash-native-audio-preview-09-2025`, a new native audio model for the Live API with improved function calling and speech cut off handling.

Your custom Gems are now shareableWhat:Starting today, you can share the Gems that you create with friends, family and colleagues. Gems are a simple way to customise Gemini to achieve your specific goals. This means that you can tackle recurring tasks without retyping lengthy prompts and providing context each time.Share your weekly meal planner Gem to help a friend get inspiration, or send your holiday planner Gem to a family member before their big trip. To share, simply open your Gem manager on the web and click 'Share' next to any Gem that you've created. Sharing Gems works just like sharing files in Google Drive, giving you control over who can view or edit your Gem. Visit theHelp Centreto learn more about sharing Gems.Why:Turn your favourite Gems into a shared resource so that you can help others also save time on repetitive prompting and get started more easily. Rather than creating from scratch, you can use a fine-tuned Gem with effective instructions with friends or even an entire organisation.

What’s new
We’re giving Plus, Business, and Pro users more control over how long GPT-5 thinks before responding. You can now choose the level of reasoning time, so you can decide whether you want a quicker answer or more in-depth reasoning for your task.
How it works
When you selectGPT-5 with Thinkingin ChatGPT, you’ll see a newthinking timetoggle in the message composer.
Standard(new default, balancing speed and intelligence) andExtended(the previous default for Plus) are available to allPlus, BusinessusersProusers get two additional options:Light(snappiest) andHeavy(deeper reasoning).All queries default toStandardunless you choose to change it. Once you choose a different thinking time, your preference is saved and used for future queries until you switch again.
Why we’re making this change
We’ve heard from some of you that GPT-5 Thinking’s answers can take longer than you’d like. Now you can decide what you need in the moment:
Light / Standard→ quicker answers that still apply reasoning, balancing speed and intelligence.Extended / Heavy→ more time for deeper, more comprehensive responses when the stakes are higher or the question is more difficult.
What’s next
The thinking-time toggle is live today on chatgpt.com. Settings you choose on the web won’t yet sync to mobile, but we’ll bring this control to our iOS and Android apps in the coming weeks.
