November 5, 2025 — Interrupt ChatGPT

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.

Shared projects
Starting today, project sharing is available to all ChatGPT users, including for Free, Plus, Pro, and Go users globally on web, iOS, and Android.
ChatGPT can draw from anything in the shared project – including chats, uploaded files and custom instructions – so responses are informed by your group's internal knowledge, and you can pick up where others left off.
Shared projects are ideal for:
Group work: Upload notes, proposals, and contracts so collaborators can draft deliverables faster and stay in sync.Content creation: Apply project-specific instructions to keep tone and style consistent across contributors.Reporting: Store datasets and reports in one project, and return each week to generate updates without starting over.Research: Keep transcripts, survey results, and market research in one place, so anyone in the project can query and build on the findings.
Project owners can choose to share a project with “Only those invited” or “Anyone with a link,” and can change visibility settings at any time including switching back to invite-only. The following collaboration limits apply:
Pro users:up to 40 files and 100 collaborators​Plus and Go users:up to 25 files and 10 collaborators​Free users:up to 5 files and 5 collaborators

ChatGPT 15 Oct 2025 chatgpt

October 15, 2025 — ChatGPT can now automatically manage saved memories so it’s even better at remembering what’s important to you.

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.

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.

September 29, 2025 — Parental Controls

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.

September 29, 2025 — Introducing Instant Checkout and the Agentic Commerce Protocol

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.

September 25, 2025 — Introducing ChatGPT Pulse for Pro users

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.

September 17, 2025 — Toggle thinking time in the message composer

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.

Tracking what they’re building

Observed site activity — new pages appearing on each platform’s website, updated daily.

What is the LLM Changelog?

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 →
