Updates to ChatGPT: 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. Rate limits are now 3,000 messages/week with GPT-5 Thinking, and then extra capacity on GPT-5 Thinking

GPT-5.1 is a great new model that we think people are going to like more than 5. But with 800M+ people using ChatGPT, one default personality won’t work for everyone. We launched new preset personalities so people can make ChatGPT their own.  fidjisimo.substack.com/p/moving-beyon…

Also, we've made it easier to customize ChatGPT. You can pick from presets (Default, Friendly, Efficient, Professional, Candid, or Quirky) or tune it yourself.
