ChatGPT introduces improved GPT-5.6 Sol with better accuracy and consistency, plus expanded access for free users and unlimited everyday chats with GPT-5.6 Luna.
OpenAI announced updates to two AI models used in ChatGPT: GPT-5.6 Sol for paid users and GPT-5.6 Luna for free users. For Plus and Pro users, GPT-5.6 Sol has been improved to provide more focused answers and more reliable facts, with a new slider allowing users to control how much reasoning the model applies to each response. Free users will now have GPT-5.6 Luna as their default model with unlimited text chats and access to a new Think button for questions requiring deeper reasoning. According to internal evaluations, responses containing factual errors were significantly less common with these updated models compared to the previous version.

Long-running agents accumulate state that no transcript captures. A coding agent at step 10 holds edited files, a running dev server, installed packages, and a warm prompt cache. When it misreads a traceback and rewrites a file that was already correct, neither available recovery path is cheap: patching forward grows the context and the token bill, and restarting from step one re-pays every model and tool call while reproducing nothing exactly, because runs are non-deterministic. Jumping back t

New AI toolbars and prompts are showing up in Google Docs and Gmail. If you don’t want Gemini’s help in writing documents and emails, here’s how to turn that stuff off.

In October 2025, a storm brewed over the Caribbean Sea. Weather models differed on its trajectory. Would it remain weak and end up in Haiti, or would it intensify and head to Jamaica? Artificial intelligence model WeatherNext, developed by Google’s DeepMind and Google Research, went with the latter. Five days before landfall, it predicted with 80 percent confidence that the storm system would hit Jamaica as a Category 5 hurricane. Hurricane Melissa was catastrophic, causing flooding and landslid
