Changed

  • Retiring GPT-4o and other legacy models
  • As previously announced, we have retired GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and OpenAI o4-mini from ChatGPT. We are also retiring GPT-5 (Instant and Thinking), as previously announced. There are no API changes at this time. For details, see our blog post and Help Center.
  • ChatGPT updates: Better file uploads, easier copying, and more reliable long chats
  • Web
  • Attach up to 20 files in a single message. You can now upload up to 20 files at once (previously 10), making it easier to analyze document sets, compare multiple files, or provide broader context in a single message.
  • Expanded file type support. We now support additional text and code file formats, improving compatibility with source files, logs, configuration files, and other structured text.
  • Cleaner “Select All” behavior (Cmd+A). Cmd+A now selects only the conversation content, excluding surrounding interface elements for cleaner copying and sharing of chat transcripts.
  • Android
  • Simplified composer. The message composer has been streamlined to reduce visual complexity and make it easier to focus on your message.
  • iOS
  • Performance improvements. We’ve made multiple performance enhancements to improve responsiveness and overall speed throughout the app.
