Introducing ChatGPT Go
We’re launching ChatGPT Go, a new low-cost subscription plan. This will initially be available for users in India only.

For ₹399/month (GST included), ChatGPT Go provides everything included in the Free plan, and:

• More messages, larger file uploads, and expanded image generation
• Access to advanced data analysis
• Longer memory for more personalized responses

Available on web, mobile (iOS & Android), and desktop (macOS & Windows).

ChatGPT Go is geo-restricted to India at launch, and is able to be subscribed to by credit card or UPI.

GPT-5 Updates
We’re making GPT-5’s default personality warmer and more familiar. This is in response to user feedback that the initial version of GPT-5 came across as too reserved and professional. The differences in personality should feel subtle but create a noticeably more approachable ChatGPT experience.

Warmth here means small acknowledgements that make interactions feel more personable — for example, “Good question,” “Great start,” or briefly recognizing the user’s circumstances when relevant. This is different from sycophancy, which we define as excessive flattery that can feel insincere. You can find more about our learnings on reducing sycophancy here.

This update does not show an increase in sycophancy compared to the previous personality of GPT-5, measured by the same internal evals we ran and detailed in our system card. Teaching models to be warm without being sycophantic is an ongoing research challenge, and we will continue iterating to get this right. More updates are coming soon.

Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts Connectors in ChatGPT (Plus)
Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts Connectors in ChatGPT are now available to Plus users globally. Access will be granted to users throughout today.

This was previously made available to Pro users on August 12, 2025.

GPT-5 Updates
You can now choose between “Auto”, “Fast”, and “Thinking” for GPT-5. Most users will want Auto, but the additional control will be useful for some people.

ChatGPT Plus users now have 3,000 messages/week with GPT-5 Thinking, and then extra capacity on GPT-5 Thinking mini after that limit. The context limit for GPT-5 Thinking is 196k tokens. We may have to update rate limits over time depending on usage.

4o is back in the model picker for all paid users by default. Paid users also now have a “Show additional models” toggle in ChatGPT web settings which will add models like o3, o4-mini, 4.1, and GPT-5 Thinking mini. 4.5 is only available to Pro users due to GPUs.

Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts Connectors in ChatGPT (Pro)
Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts are now available to connect and use in chat. Once you enable them, ChatGPT will automatically reference them when relevant, making it faster and easier to bring information from these tools into your conversations without having to manually select them each time.

This capability is part of GPT-5 and will begin rolling out to Pro users globally this week, followed by Plus, Team, Enterprise, and Edu plans in the coming weeks. To enable, visit Settings → Connectors→ Connect on the application.

If you already have Gmail or Google Calendar enabled for deep research, you can now also use them in chat. To use them in deep research, you will still need to enable each connector separately and select it every time you start a new deep research request.
