LLM/AI Changelog

Since its launch in the API in April, GPT-4.1 has become a favorite among developers—by popular demand, we’re making it available directly in ChatGPT.GPT-4.1 is a specialized model that excels at coding tasks. Compared to GPT-4o, it's even stronger at precise instruction following and web development tasks, and offers an alternative to OpenAI o3 and OpenAI o4-mini for simpler, everyday coding needs.Starting today, Plus, Pro, and Team users can access GPT-4.1 via the "more models" dropdown in the model picker. Enterprise and Edu users will get access in the coming weeks. GPT-4.1 has the same rate limits as GPT-4o for paid users.

GPT-4.1 mini is a fast, capable, and efficient small model, delivering significant improvements compared to GPT-4o mini—in instruction-following, coding, and overall intelligence. Starting today, GPT-4.1 mini replaces GPT-4o mini in the model picker under "more models" for paid users, and will serve as the fallback model for free users once they reach their GPT-4o usage limits. Rate limits remain the same.Evals for GPT-4.1 and GPT-4.1 mini were originally shared in theblog postaccompanying their API release. They also went through standard safety evaluations. Detailed results are available in the newly launchedSafety Evaluations Hub.

We've removed the row of individual tool icons from the mobile composer and replaced it with the new sliders‑style icon to open theSkillsmenu; tapping that button opens a bottom‑sheet menu where users can choose tools like Create an image or Search the web.
No tools are deprecated—access is simply consolidated to clear space and reduce on‑screen clutter.

We've reverted the most recent update to GPT-4o due to issues with overly agreeable responses (sycophancy).We’re actively working on further improvements. For more details, check out ourblog postexplaining what happened and our initial findings, andthis blog postwhere we expand on what we missed with sycophancy and the changes we're going to make going forward.

We’re making additional improvements to GPT-4o, optimizing when it saves memories and enhancing problem-solving capabilities for STEM. We’ve also made subtle changes to the way it responds, making it more proactive and better at guiding conversations toward productive outcomes. We think these updates help GPT-4o feel more intuitive and effective across a variety of tasks–we hope you agree!

Today, we’re releasing OpenAIo3ando4-mini,the latest in our o-series of models trained to think for longer before responding. These are the smartest models we’ve released to date, representing a step change in ChatGPT's capabilities for everyone from curious users to advanced researchers. For the first time, our reasoning models can agentically use and combine every tool within ChatGPT—this includes searching the web, analyzing uploaded files and other data with Python, reasoning deeply about visual inputs, and even generating images. Critically, these models are trained to reason about when and how to use tools to produce detailed and thoughtful answers in the right output formats, typically in under a minute, to solve more complex problems. This allows them to tackle multi-faceted questions more effectively, a step toward a more agentic ChatGPT that can independently execute tasks on your behalf. The combined power of state-of-the-art reasoning with full tool access translates into significantly stronger performance across academic benchmarks and real-world tasks, setting a new standard in both intelligence and usefulness.

All images you create with ChatGPT are now automatically saved to a newLibraryin the sidebar, giving you one place to browse, revisit, and reuse your work without digging through past conversations. The Library is rolling out today on Web, iOS, and Android for Free, Plus, and Pro users (Enterprise / Edu support coming soon). For now, it displays images generated with 4o Image Generation while we backfill older creations, and you can remove an image by deleting the conversation where it was made.

Sunsetting GPT‑4 in ChatGPT
Effective  April  30,  2025, GPT‑4 will be retired from ChatGPT and fully replaced by GPT‑4o.GPT‑4o is our newer, natively multimodal model. In head‑to‑head evaluations it consistently surpasses GPT‑4 in writing, coding, STEM, and more.Recent upgrades have further improved GPT‑4o’s instruction following, problem solving, and conversational flow, making it a natural successor to GPT‑4.GPT-4 will still be available in the API.GPT‑4 marked a pivotal moment in ChatGPT’s evolution. We’re grateful for the breakthroughs it enabled and for the feedback that helped shape its successor. GPT‑4o builds on that foundation to deliver even greater capability, consistency, and creativity.

GPT‑4 marked a pivotal moment in ChatGPT’s evolution. We’re grateful for the breakthroughs it enabled and for the feedback that helped shape its successor. GPT‑4o builds on that foundation to deliver even greater capability, consistency, and creativity.

We’ve made improvements to GPT-4o—it now feels more intuitive, creative, and collaborative, with enhanced instruction-following, smarter coding capabilities, and a clearer communication style.
Smarter problem-solving in STEM and coding:
GPT-4o has further improved its capability to tackle complex technical and coding problems. It now generates cleaner, simpler frontend code, more accurately thinks through existing code to identify necessary changes, and consistently produces coding outputs that successfully compile and run, streamlining your coding workflows.
Enhanced instruction-following and formatting accuracy:
GPT-4o is now more adept at following detailed instructions, especially for prompts containing multiple or complex requests. It improves on generating outputs according to the format requested and achieves higher accuracy in classification tasks.
“Fuzzy” improvements:
Early testers say that the model seems to better understand the implied intent behind their prompts, especially when it comes to creative and collaborative tasks. It’s also slightly more concise and clear, using fewer markdown hierarchies and emojis for responses that are easier to read, less cluttered, and more focused. We're curious to see if our users also find this to be the case.
This model is now available in ChatGPT and in the API as the newest snapshot of chatgpt-4o-latest. We plan to bring these improvements to a dated model in the API in the coming weeks.

ChatGPT Projects are available to all Plus, Team, and Pro users.

Today we started rolling out two updates to voice mode in ChatGPT:
Santa voice:You can now chat with Santa in ChatGPT! Until early January, you can find Santa in the list of available voices in settings or by tapping on a snowflake icon. We are rolling out Santa globally to all logged in users today, and you can chat with Santa everywhere you use voice mode.
The first time you chat with Santa, your advanced voice limit will reset one time. So, if you’ve already used up your advanced voice limit for the day or the month (based on your subscription plan), you can still chat with Santa for the first time using advanced voice.
Video and screenshare:In our latest mobile apps, we are starting to roll out real-time video, screen share, and image upload capabilities in advanced voice. We expect to complete this rollout to all Team and most Plus and Pro users, except for those in the European Union, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein, over the next week. Video and screen share are subject to daily usage limits for all plans, and image uploads are subject to ChatGPT vision message limits.
Use the controls at the bottom of the screen, like the camera button below, to get started. You can find screen share and image upload controls under the “...” menu at the bottom of the screen.

Today we made Canvas available in 4o by default for all users, Free and Paid. Additionally, we launched a number of new capabilities for canvas, including:
Canvas in GPTs: Canvas can now be used with GPTs when enabled in the GPT creator. This toggle will be enabled for newly created GPTs by default.
Python code execution: You can now execute Python code in a canvas. ChatGPT will take a pass on fixing bugs in your code and provide comments on errors.​Canvas shortcut: You can now paste content into ChatGPT and instantly open it in canvas via a shortcut in the upper right corner of the composer.Canvas in Toolbox: Canvas has been added as an option in the toolbox.
