September 15, 2025 — Updates to Codex (Plus/Pro) - Introducing GPT-5-Codex
We’re adding GPT-5-codex, a GPT-5 variant optimized for agentic coding in Codex. It’s available everywhere you use Codex: default for cloud tasks and code review, and selectable for local workflows via the Codex CLI and IDE extension. Use GPT-5-codex for coding-focused work in Codex, or Codex-like environments; use GPT-5 for general, non-coding tasks. Please review theannouncementblog for more information.
Note: GPT-5-Codex is not currently supported in ChatGPT or the API.
To learn more about Codex, visit thedevelopers siteas well as our general help article:Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan.
- Released support for the [Embeddings model in Batch API](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/batch-api#batch-embedding), and added Batch API to the [OpenAI compatibility library](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/openai#batch) for even easier ways to get started with batch queries.
- Launched Veo 3 and Veo 3 Fast GA, with lower pricing and new options for aspect ratios, resolution, and seeding. Read the [Veo documentation](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/video#model-features) for more information.
Last month we announced that everyone now has access to Advanced Voice Mode, with usage expanded from minutes per day to hours for Free users, and near-unlimited use for Plus.
We also shared that Standard Voice Mode would be retired following a 30-day sunset period. We’ve heard feedback that Standard Voice is special to some folks, and we want to make sure the transition feels right. To that end, we’re keeping Standard Voice available while we address some feedback from its users about Advanced Voice.
Stay tuned—more improvements to Voice are coming soon.
You can now branch conversations in ChatGPT, making it easier to explore different directions without losing your original thread. Hover over a message, clickMore actions(⋯), and selectBranch in new chatto start a separate conversation from that point.
This feature is available today for all logged-in users on web.

An improvement toprojectsis now available. When creating a project, users have the option to enableproject-only memory.
Withproject-only memoryenabled, ChatGPT can use other conversations in that project for additional context, and won’t use yoursaved memoriesfrom outside the project to shape responses. Additionally, it won’t carry anything from the project into future chats outside of the project.
This creates a focused, self-contained space, which is useful for long-running or sensitive work where you want ChatGPT to stay anchored to that project’s tone, context, and history.
Note:
Personal Memorymust be enabled to utilize this feature.Settings->Personalization->MemoryThis feature will initially only be available on the ChatGPT website and Windows app. Support for mobile (iOS and Android) and macOS app will follow in the coming weeks.
Learn more aboutmemory in projects.
Revisit your conversations: You can now search your Gemini chat history.What:Find and revisit past conversations in Gemini. To get started, simply expand your navigation menu and tap the magnifying glass or the “Search for chats” bar. Enter a keyword or phrase, and Gemini will display all relevant conversations. This feature is live globally on web and mobile.Why:This is one of our most highly requested features, and lets you collaborate more seamlessly with Gemini.

Learn more aboutChatGPT Go.
We’re making GPT-5’s default personality warmer and more familiar. This is in response to user feedback that the initial version of GPT-5 came across as too reserved and professional. The differences in personality should feel subtle but create a noticeably more approachable ChatGPT experience.
Warmth here means small acknowledgements that make interactions feel more personable — for example, “Good question,” “Great start,” or briefly recognizing the user’s circumstances when relevant. This is different from sycophancy, which we define as excessive flattery that can feel insincere. You can find more about our learnings on reducing sycophancyhere.
This update does not show an increase in sycophancy compared to the previous personality of GPT-5, measured by the same internal evals we ran and detailed in oursystem card. Teaching models to be warm without being sycophantic is an ongoing research challenge, and we will continue iterating to get this right. More updates are coming soon.
- Released Imagen 4 Ultra, Standard and Fast models as generally available (GA). To learn more, see the [Imagen](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/imagen) page.

Introducing Temporary ChatWhat:Now you can have a quick, one-off conversation with the Gemini app that won’t be saved to your chat history. Our new Temporary Chat feature is great for when you're exploring private questions or brainstorming an idea that's outside your usual style. To start, select the “Temporary Chat” icon next to “New Chat”. This feature will be rolling out over the coming weeks, starting today.Why:With Temporary Chat, you can have conversations that won’t appear in your recent chats or Gemini Apps Activity. These chats won’t be used to train Google’s AI models or personalize your Gemini experience, giving you a clean slate whenever you need one.
You can now choose between “Auto”, “Fast”, and “Thinking” for GPT-5. Most users will want Auto, but the additional control will be useful for some people.
ChatGPT Plus users now have 3,000 messages/week with GPT-5 Thinking, and then extra capacity on GPT-5 Thinking mini after that limit. The context limit for GPT-5 Thinking is 196k tokens. We may have to update rate limits over time depending on usage.

August 12, 2025 — Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts Connectors in ChatGPT (Pro)
Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts are now available to connect and use in chat.

If you already have Gmail or Google Calendar enabled for deep research, you can now also use them in chat. To use them in deep research, you will still need to enable each connector separately and select it every time you start a new deep research request.

The LLM Changelog is a live, automated tracker that monitors release notes and documentation updates across the largest AI platforms — including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, Perplexity AI, Microsoft Copilot and Google Search. Changes are crawled daily and presented in a single, searchable feed.
Why AI Platform Changes Matter for Brands
When AI models update their training data, adjust ranking signals or change how they cite sources, the brands and products they recommend can shift overnight. An API change to Gemini or a new feature in ChatGPT can alter which businesses get mentioned in millions of AI-generated responses.
Platforms We Track
We currently monitor ChatGPT release notes, OpenAI developer and model changelogs, Gemini API and app updates, Perplexity product and API changes, Microsoft 365 Copilot release notes, and Google Search Central documentation updates. New sources are added as the AI landscape evolves.
Built by reconnAI
reconnAI tracks how AI systems represent brands in their responses. We monitor mentions, sentiment and citations across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and more — helping businesses understand and improve their visibility in the age of AI search. Learn more →
