💥 Today we're rolling out a *major* update to image generation in ChatGPT! The model is now quite good at following complex instructions, including detailed visual layouts. It's very good at generating text. It can do photorealism or any number of other styles. Btw—if you.

💥 o3 and o4-mini are launching today!. Both models are mind-blowing. But maybe the coolest for me has been seeing them use tools as they think. They can search, write code, and manipulate images in the chain of thought, and it's a huge multiplier. I will never forget the first.

Hello GPT 4.5! Launching today to pro users, next week to plus users. I’m excited for everyone to try GPT 4.5. It’s not a reasoning model—it’s a huge, chonky pre-train—but bigger models seem to offer more nuance and subtlety. If I have a hard coding or math problem, I’ll ask o1.

OPENAI ROADMAP UPDATE FOR GPT-4.5 and GPT-5:. We want to do a better job of sharing our intended roadmap, and a much better job simplifying our product offerings. We want AI to “just work” for you; we realize how complicated our model and product offerings have gotten. We hate.

The GPUs are indeed melting, but on the other hand my Twitter timeline is super fun right now with all the imagegen.
it's super fun seeing people love images in chatgpt. but our GPUs are melting. we are going to temporarily introduce some rate limits while we work on making it more efficient. hopefully won't be long!. chatgpt free tier will get 3 generations per day soon.

💥 New today in the API: GPT 4.1, GPT 4.1 mini, and GPT 4.1 nano. These models are great at coding (54 on SWE-bench verified for a non-reasoning model!) and instruction following, and all three offer 1M context. We've also dropped prices: GPT 4.1 is 26% cheaper than 4o, and 4.1.

Today we're introducing Canvas, a new way of working with ChatGPT for writing and coding. With Canvas you pair with ChatGPT, creating/editing/refining ideas side by side. It's completely changed my own productivity as we've built and tested it internally. One of my favorite.

Curious for your feedback on this. Pros: more flexibility on which features you use, so eg if you love deep research, you can get more of it.Cons: a bit more for people to think about, and a feeling of scarcity I don't love. Are there services that do something like this well?.
an idea for paid plans: your $20 plus subscription converts to credits you can use across features like deep research, o1, gpt-4.5, sora, etc. no fixed limits per feature and you choose what you want; if you run out of credits you can buy more. what do you think? good/bad?.

More deep research for everyone—including for free users!. Most companies move things behind paywalls. It's fun to work at one that regularly takes paid features and makes them free whenever it can ♥️.
We've noticed many of you love using deep research, so we’re expanding usage for Plus, Team, and Pro users by introducing a lightweight version of deep research in order to increase current rate limits. We’re also rolling out the lightweight version to Free users.

Biggest lesson from 2 years at OpenAI: you can just do things. It's too easy to overthink the current idea and waste time. Just ship, so you can ship even more.
