GermanyAccording to OpenAI, ChatGPT now has one billion weekly users, surpassing its previous records. This growth comes alongside updates to the free tier of ChatGPT, which now uses the newer GPT-5.6 Luna model as the standard. Previously, free users had a limit on the number of messages they could send before switching to a smaller model. Now, free users can engage in unlimited text-based chats with GPT-5.6 Luna, though restrictions remain on more computationally intensive features like file uploads and image generation. Additionally, free users gain access to a new 'Think' button, allowing them to allocate extra time for complex tasks. Meanwhile, Plus and Pro users receive an updated version of the flagship GPT-5.6 Sol model, which aims to provide more direct answers, adjust detail levels based on task requirements, and reduce unnecessary formatting. Internal evaluations suggest that GPT-5.6 Sol produces fewer factual errors compared to earlier versions. These improvements are available immediately for Plus and Pro users, while the GPT-5.6 Luna update for free and Go users is expected this week, with additional features like unlimited text chats and the 'Think' button rolling out next.
