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:
More messages, larger file uploads, and expanded image generationAccess to advanced data analysisLonger memory for more personalized responses
Available on web, mobile (iOS & Android), and desktop (macOS & Windows).
Note:In Cambodia, Laos, and Nepal, ChatGPT Go subscriptions aren’t available in the iOS app currently. Web and Android subscriptions remain available.
Learn more aboutChatGPT Go.

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.
Visit theChatGPT app for Slackpage to get started with installation.

We're addingNotionandLinearas synced connectors (for Pro users), so you can securely bring Notion pages and Linear issues/discussions into Chat for fast answers and summaries. You can enable sync for Notion and Linear from your Connector settings (connect to Notion or Linear if you haven’t already, first). Once synced, ChatGPT will automatically reference the indexed content when relevant. Learn more aboutsynced connectors.

We're excited to announce that ChatGPT Go, our low cost subscription plan, is now available in16 additional countries. For an affordable price, ChatGPT Go provides everything included in theFreeplan, and:

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 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.

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.

- Deprecation announcement: The following models will be shut down in October 2025:

- `embedding-001`

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.

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.

Projects bring your chats and files into one place, helping you stay focused and get things done. They’re now available on our Free tier, with up to 5 file uploads per project.
We’ve also updated file uploads on paid tiers: Plus, Go, and Edu support up to 25 files per project. Pro, Business, and Enterprise support up to 40 files per project.
New customization options are available for all plans, including colors and icons, to help keep your projects organized.

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.

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.
4o is back in the model picker for all paid users by default. Paid users also now have a “Show additional models” toggle in ChatGPT web settings which will add models like o3, o4-mini, 4.1, and GPT-5 Thinking mini. 4.5 is only available to Pro users due to GPUs.

Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts are now available to connect and use in chat. Once you enable them, ChatGPT will automatically reference them when relevant, making it faster and easier to bring information from these tools into your conversations without having to manually select them each time.
This capability is part of GPT-5 and will begin rolling out to Pro users globally this week, followed by Plus, Team, Enterprise, and Edu plans in the coming weeks. To enable, visitSettings→Connectors→Connecton the application.
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.
Learn more aboutconnectors.

Now connect even more tools in ChatGPT for useful, relevant responses in chat.
The following connectors are now available to search by chat in addition to deep research.
Plus:Box, Canva, Dropbox, HubSpot, Notion, Microsoft SharePoint, and Microsoft TeamsPro: Microsoft Teams and Github
