We’re inviting safety researchers to apply for early access to our next frontier models. This early access program complements our existing frontier model testing process, which includes rigorous internal safety testing, external red teaming such as our Red Teaming Network⁠ and collaborations with third-party testing organizations, as well the U.S. AI Safety Institute and the UK AI Safety Institute. As models become more capable, we are hopeful that insights from the broader safety community can bring fresh perspectives, deepen our understanding of emerging risks, develop new evaluations, and highlight areas to advance safety research.

Submit your application for our early access period, opening December 20, 2024, to push the boundaries of safety research: https://openai.com/index/early-access-for-safety-testing/

We’ll begin selections as soon as possible thereafter. Applications close on January 10, 2025.

You can now work with apps while using Advanced Voice Mode. It’s great for live debugging in terminals, thinking through documents, or getting feedback on speaker notes.

Now you can search through all your previous conversations using keywords and phrases by clicking the search bar.

1-800-ChatGPT is an experimental new launch to enable wider access to ChatGPT. You can now talk to ChatGPT via phone call or message ChatGPT via WhatsApp at 1-800-ChatGPT without needing an account.

You can also start a conversation in WhatsApp by clicking this link or scanning the QR code below.

You can talk to 1-800-ChatGPT for 15 minutes per month for free, with a daily limit on WhatsApp messages. We may adjust usage limits based on capacity if needed.

We provide a notice as you approach the limit and inform you when the limit has been reached. You can continue chatting with ChatGPT by downloading the ChatGPT app at chatgpt.com/download or going to chatgpt.com.

Today we’re introducing more capable models, new tools for customization, and upgrades that improve performance, flexibility, and cost-efficiency for developers building with AI. This includes:

We launched several improvements to ChatGPT search, including faster search results and map outputs on iOS and Android.

Users can now search while having a voice conversation with ChatGPT. During a voice chat, you can ask ChatGPT to search for something and ChatGPT will provide you fast, timely answers by searching the web.

Projects provide a new way to group files and chats for personal use, simplifying the management of work that involves multiple chats. You can set custom instructions and upload files in your Projects, and any conversations in your Project share context with your uploaded files and custom instructions. Chats in Projects support the following features:

You can now chat with Santa on ChatGPT! Until early January, you can find Santa in the list of available voices in settings.

You can chat with Santa in both advanced voice and standard voice modes. 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.

You can also now share video from your devices at any time during a voice chat by selecting the camera button at the bottom of the screen.

We are currently rolling out video, screen share, and image upload capabilities in advanced voice in ChatGPT iOS and Android mobile apps. Video, screen share, and image upload capabilities will be available to all Team users and most Plus and Pro users, except for those in the European Union, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein. We expect this rollout to be completed over the next week. Usage of video and screen share capabilities is limited for all eligible plans on a daily basis. Usage of image uploads counts toward your plan usage limits. Learn more about Vision message limits.

Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system deeply integrated into iPhone, iPad and Mac that helps users communicate, work, and express themselves. It combines generative models with personal context to deliver intelligence that is most useful and personal, while protecting user’s privacy at every step.

Apple is integrating ChatGPT into several experiences within iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, allowing users to access its expertise — as well as its image and document-understanding capabilities — without needing to jump between tools.

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:

Our video generation model is rolling out at sora.com⁠.
​

Earlier this year, we introduced Sora⁠, our model that can create realistic videos from text, and shared our initial research progress⁠ on world simulation. Sora serves as a foundation for AI that understands and simulates reality—an important step towards developing models that can interact with the physical world.
​

We’re expanding our Reinforcement Fine-Tuning Research Program to enable developers and machine learning engineers to create expert models fine-tuned to excel at specific sets of complex, domain-specific tasks.

This new model customization technique enables developers to customize our models using dozens to thousands of high quality tasks and grade the model’s response with provided reference answers. This technique reinforces how the model reasons through similar problems and improves its accuracy on specific tasks in that domain.

Today, we’re adding ChatGPT Pro, a $200 monthly plan that enables scaled access to the best of OpenAI’s models and tools. This plan includes unlimited access to our smartest model, OpenAI o1, as well as to o1-mini, GPT-4o, and Advanced Voice. It also includes o1 pro mode, a version of o1 that uses more compute to think harder and provide even better answers to the hardest problems. In the future, we expect to add more powerful, compute-intensive productivity features to this plan.
