You Can Now Have Unlimited Text Chats Without Paying for ChatGPT

OpenAI is also adding a new Think button and slider as GPT-5.6 Luna reportedly cuts factual errors by 62% versus GPT-5.5 Instant.

  • On Thursday, OpenAI announced unlimited text chats for free users and Go subscribers, while shifting the default model for all users to GPT-5.6 Luna.
  • Replacing GPT-5.5 Instant, the lightweight Luna model debuted in July and reduces factual errors by 62% compared to its predecessor.
  • Free and Go users gain a new 'Think' button to "select higher reasoning for harder questions," while Plus and Pro subscribers receive upgraded GPT-5.6 Sol with a 'slider' for controlling answer depth.
  • Despite the text chat expansion, OpenAI will continue enforcing separate usage limits on image generation, file uploads, and voice mode.
  • To address safety concerns, OpenAI added guardrails for users under 18 to "avoid romantic roleplay, age-restricted challenges and presenting itself as a substitute for real-world relationships.
