This post is part of our special coverage Syria Protests 2011OpenAI It is announced that the limit on the number of times users of the free and Go versions will be lifted in the pure text conversation, starting with local time on August 10th todayFree and Go account users will no longer be subject to the maximum number of messages during regular text chats, allowing continuous text conversations.
But that doesn't mean ChatGPT The free version is completely unrestricted. Photo generation, file upload and voice mode will continue to have their own separate usage. Therefore, as long as the user adds documents or pictures to the dialogue, the request remains limited。
At the same time, OpenAI will also adjust the free and Go user default models. From this week onwards, GPT-5.6 Luna, the smallest model in the current product line, will replace GPT-5.5 Instant as the default model for free and Go-level accounts。
In addition, ChatGPT will add a "Think" button to allow Luna to devote more time to calculation before answering questions to generate more in-depth responses. This function is also not restricted in a purely text-based context, but is re-limited if used in combination with other functions, such as pictures, documents and so on。
OpenAI has also been upgraded for Plus and Pro paid users. The flagship model GPT-5.6 Sol will further optimize the day-to-day experience of dialogue, including increasing the naturality of responses, reducing unnecessary formatting and enhancing the ability to present dissenting views where necessary rather than being user-friendly。
In addition, fee-paying users will be provided with new “thinking intensity” reconciliation options that will control themselves how much reasoning resources ChatGPT invests in each response, similar to the computation depth settings provided by other AI products。
According to the official version of OpenAI, the company emphasized that the core objective of the adjustment was to increase the accessibility of AI to allow more users to use ChatGPT as intended. However, this strategy has also helped to increase the adhesiveness of free users and reduce the likelihood of users turning to competing products such as Gemini and Claude。
