Key takeaways
- GPT-5.6 Sol now delivers more focused, better-formatted answers in ChatGPT and cuts factual errors by up to 68% compared to GPT-5.5 Instant, per OpenAI’s internal testing.

- Free and Go users are getting unlimited text chats with GPT-5.6 Luna and a new Think button for harder questions.
- GPT-5.6 Luna becomes the default free-tier model this week, with expanded chat limits and the Think button following next week, subject to abuse guardrails.
- OpenAI added safety training specifically aimed at protecting users it identifies as under 18.
