OpenAI introduces new ChatGPT updates to improve responses

OpenAI has announced a series of new updates to its ChatGPT chatbot, including changes to usage limits and new tools aimed at improving response quality and providing a more flexible user experience.

The company said users would gain expanded access to text conversations, while messages involving file uploads or image generation would remain subject to separate usage limits.

OpenAI has also been rolling out its GPT-5.6 family. In standard ChatGPT conversations, GPT-5.5 Instant remains the default model for everyday responses, while eligible paid plans can access GPT-5.6 Sol for more complex reasoning tasks.
