Free users get unlimited text chats, new AI model
OpenAI said Free users will no longer get limits on text based conversations, making ChatGPT more practical for everyday tasks such as writing, learning, brainstorming and general queries. ChatGPT Go subscribers will get the same benefit.
The company clarified that only text conversations are becoming unlimited. Existing usage caps for image generation, voice conversations, file uploads and image uploads will continue to remain in place.
OpenAI is also replacing GPT-5.5 with GPT-5.6 Luna as the default model for Free and Go users. According to the company, the updated model delivers more consistent responses, improved factual accuracy and smoother conversations. A new “Think” button is also being introduced, allowing users to ask ChatGPT to spend more time reasoning through complex questions before generating a response.
Plus and Pro users receive upgraded GPT-5.6 Sol
If you are a paid subscriber, OpenAI is rolling out an enhanced version of GPT-5.6 Sol. The company said that the model is better suited for productivity-focused tasks including research, planning, writing, decision-making and web searches while producing shorter and more reliable responses.
Plus and Pro users will also receive a new thinking slider, giving them control over how much reasoning the AI applies before answering. Users can prioritise faster replies for simple questions or increase reasoning time for more complex tasks.
