OpenAI moves away from requiring users to choose between many different models in ChatGPT, instead allowing the system to automatically pick the right tool for each job. In an ideal world, this general approach would enable AI companies to enhance performance and reasoning internally while maintaining consistent interaction methods and AI personalities.

Following the launch of GPT-5, users expressed discontent over its performance and reduced messaging capabilities compared to previous models. OpenAI responded by increasing message limits for Plus subscribers and allowing access to older models.
