Advanced Voice for ChatGPT Web (Nov 19, 2024)

Starting today, we’re beginning to roll out Advanced Voice Mode on web (already available on mobile and desktop apps). You can now start a voice chat on chatgpt.com on your desktop and have real-time, natural conversations with ChatGPT while doing tasks like shopping, planning, writing, and brainstorming.

We’re starting to roll out to all paid (Plus, Team, Enterprise, and Edu) users today, and expect it to take a few days.

DALL·E 3 for ChatGPT Free users (Aug 8, 2024)

We’re rolling out the ability for ChatGPT Free users to create up to two images per day with DALL·E 3.

Just ask ChatGPT to create an image for a slide deck, personalize a card for a friend, or show you what something looks like.

Introducing GPT-4o mini (July 18, 2024)

We’re introducing GPT-4o mini, the most capable and cost-efficient small model available today. GPT-4o mini surpasses GPT-3.5 Turbo and other small models on academic benchmarks across both textual intelligence and multimodal reasoning and supports the same range of languages as GPT-4o. It also demonstrates strong performance in function calling, which can enable developers to build applications that fetch data or take actions with external systems, and improved long-context performance compared to GPT-3.5 Turbo.

You can read more about GPT-4o mini in the blog announcement here.

Improvements to data analysis in ChatGPT (May 16, 2024)

Today, we’re starting to roll out enhancements to data analysis:

  • Upload the latest file versions directly from Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive Personal, and Microsoft OneDrive including Sharepoint

  • Interact with tables and charts in a new expandable view

  • Customize and download presentation-ready charts and documents

Data analysis improvements are available in our new flagship model, GPT-4o, for ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Enterprise users.

Introducing GPT-4o (May 13, 2024)

GPT-4o is our newest flagship model that provides GPT-4-level intelligence that is much faster and improves on its capabilities across text, voice, and vision. Currently, only the new text and image capabilities have been rolled out. You can read more about the announcement here.

Plus users will have a message limit that is up to 5x greater than free users, and Team and Enterprise users will have even higher limits.

Memory is now available to Plus users (Apr 29, 2024)

Memory is now available to all ChatGPT Plus users, except in Europe & Korea where we will be rolling it out soon. Using Memory is easy: just start a new chat and tell ChatGPT anything you’d like it to remember.

Memory can be turned on or off in settings. Team, Enterprise, and GPTs to come.

Start using ChatGPT instantly (Apr 1, 2024)

We’re making it easier for people to experience the benefits of AI without needing to sign up. Starting today, you can use ChatGPT instantly, without needing to sign-up. We're rolling this out gradually, with the aim to make AI accessible to anyone curious about its capabilities.

Memory and new controls for ChatGPT (Feb 13, 2024)

We’re testing memory with ChatGPT. Remembering things you discuss across all chats saves you from having to repeat information and makes future conversations more helpful.

You're in control of ChatGPT's memory. You can explicitly tell it to remember something, ask it what it remembers, and tell it to forget conversationally or through settings. You can also turn it off entirely.

We are rolling out to a small portion of ChatGPT free and Plus users this week to learn how useful it is. We will share plans for a broader roll out soon.

You can read more about memory and controls here.

Introducing the GPT Store and ChatGPT Team plan (Jan 10, 2024)

Discover what’s trending in the GPT Store

The store features a diverse range of GPTs developed by our partners and the community. Browse popular and trending GPTs on the community leaderboard, with categories like DALL·E, writing, research, programming, education, and lifestyle.

Explore GPTs at chatgpt.com/gpts.

Use ChatGPT alongside your team

We’re launching a new ChatGPT plan for teams of all sizes, which provides a secure, collaborative workspace to get the most out of ChatGPT at work.

ChatGPT Team offers access to our advanced models like GPT-4 and DALL·E 3, and tools like Advanced Data Analysis. It additionally includes a dedicated collaborative workspace for your team and admin tools for team management. As with ChatGPT Enterprise, you own and control your business data — we do not train on your business data or conversations, and our models don’t learn from your usage. More details on our data privacy practices can be found on our privacy page and Trust Portal.

You can learn more about the ChatGPT Team plan here.

ChatGPT with voice is available to all users (November 21, 2023)

ChatGPT with voice is now available to all free users. Download the app on your phone and tap the headphones icon to start a conversation.

Introducing GPTs (November 6, 2023)

You can now create custom versions of ChatGPT that combine instructions, extra knowledge, and any combination of skills. Learn more here.

We’re rolling out custom versions of ChatGPT that you can create for a specific purpose—called GPTs. GPTs are a new way for anyone to create a tailored version of ChatGPT to be more helpful in their daily life, at specific tasks, at work, or at home—and then share that creation with others. For example, GPTs can help you learn the rules to any board game, help teach your kids math, or design stickers.

Plus and Enterprise users can start creating GPTs this week. Later this month, we’ll launch the GPT Store, so people can feature and make money from their GPTs. We plan to offer GPTs to more users soon.

Browsing is now out of beta (October 17, 2023)

Browsing, which we re-launched a few weeks ago, is moving out of beta.

Plus and Enterprise users no longer need to switch the beta toggle to use browse, and are able to choose "Browse with Bing" from the GPT-4 model selector.

DALL·E 3 is now rolling out in beta (October 16, 2023)

We’ve integrated DALL·E 3 with ChatGPT, allowing it to respond to your requests with images. From a simple sentence to a detailed paragraph, ask ChatGPT what you want to see and it will translate your ideas into exceptionally accurate images.

To use DALL·E 3 on both web and mobile, choose DALL·E 3 in the selector under GPT-4. The message limit may vary based on capacity.

Browsing is rolling back out to Plus users (September 27, 2023)

Browsing is rolling out to all Plus users. ChatGPT can now browse the internet to provide you with current and authoritative information, complete with direct links to sources. It is no longer limited to data before September 2021.

New voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT (September 25, 2023)

Voice (Beta) is now rolling out to Plus users on iOS and Android

You can now use voice to engage in a back-and-forth conversation with your assistant. Speak with it on the go, request a bedtime story, or settle a dinner table debate.

To get started with voice, head to Settings → New Features on the mobile app and opt into voice conversations. Then, tap the headphone button located in the top-right corner of the home screen and choose your preferred voice out of five different voices.

Image input will be generally available to Plus users on all platforms

You can now show ChatGPT one or more images. Troubleshoot why your grill won’t start, explore the contents of your fridge to plan a meal, or analyze a complex graph for work-related data. To focus on a specific part of the image, you can use the drawing tool in our mobile app.

To get started, tap the photo button to capture or choose an image. You can also discuss multiple images or use our drawing tool to guide your assistant.

This feature is in alpha, requires opting in, and currently can only be used on the web at chatgpt.com. Learn more here.

Introducing ChatGPT Enterprise (August 28, 2023)

Today we’re launching ChatGPT Enterprise, which offers enterprise-grade security and privacy, unlimited higher-speed GPT-4 access, longer context windows for processing longer inputs, advanced data analysis capabilities, customization options, and much more.

Browsing is temporarily disabled (July 3, 2023)

We've learned that the browsing beta can occasionally display content in ways we don't want, e.g. if a user specifically asks for a URL's full text, it may inadvertently fulfill this request. We are temporarily disabling Browse while we fix this.

Browsing and search on mobile (June 22, 2023)

We’ve made two updates to the mobile ChatGPT app:

  • Browsing: Plus users can now use Browsing to get comprehensive answers and current insights on events and information that extend beyond the model's original training data. To try it out, enable Browsing in the “new features” section of your app settings. Then select GPT-4 in the model switcher and choose “Browse with Bing” in the drop-down.

  • Search History Improvements: Tapping on a search result takes you directly to the respective point in the conversation.

iOS app available in more countries, shared links in alpha, Bing Plugin, disable history on iOS (May 24, 2023)

We will continue to roll out to more countries and regions in the coming weeks. You can track the iOS app rollout here.

Shared Links

We're excited to introduce a new feature: shared links. This feature allows you to create and share your ChatGPT conversations with others. Recipients of your shared link can either view the conversation or copy it to their own chats to continue the thread.

Conversations started on your device when chat history is disabled won’t be used to improve our models, won’t appear in your history on your other devices, and will only be stored for 30 days. Similar to the functionality on the web, this setting does not sync across browsers or devices. Learn more.

Web browsing and Plugins are now rolling out in beta (May 12, 2023)

Updates to ChatGPT (May 3, 2023)

We’ve made several updates to ChatGPT! Here's what's new:
