Launching OpenAI o3-pro—available now for Pro users in ChatGPT and in our API (June 10, 2025)

June 10, 2025 This release date was parsed from the original source when it was added (Sep 4, 2025). Original Source

Introducing o3-pro: a longer-thinking, higher-accuracy version replacing o1-pro for Pro/Team, shipping today with staged Enterprise/Edu rollout and noted limitations.

  • Like o1-pro, o3-pro is a version of our most intelligent model, o3, designed to think longer and provide the most reliable responses. Since the launch of o1-pro, users have favored this model for domains such as math, science, and coding—areas where o3-pro continues to excel, as shown in academic evaluations. Like o3, o3-pro has access to tools that make ChatGPT useful—it can search the web, analyze files, reason about visual inputs, use Python, personalize responses using memory, and more. Because o3-pro has access to tools, responses typically take longer than o1-pro to complete. We recommend using it for challenging questions where reliability matters more than speed, and waiting a few minutes is worth the tradeoff.

Updates to Advanced Voice Mode for paid users (June 7, 2025)

June 7, 2025 This release date was parsed from the original source when it was added (Sep 4, 2025). Original Source

Advanced Voice for paid users with better intonation/naturalness, built-in translation, wider availability, plus earlier improvements; occasional audio quality changes and rare hallucinations noted.

  • We're upgrading Advanced Voice in ChatGPT for paid users with significant enhancements in intonation and naturalness, making interactions feel more fluid and human-like. When we first launched Advanced Voice, it represented a leap forward in AI speech—now, it speaks even more naturally, with subtler intonation, realistic cadence (including pauses and emphases), and more on-point expressiveness for certain emotions including empathy, sarcasm, and more.

June 6, 2025 This release date was parsed from the original source when it was added (Sep 4, 2025). Original Source

  • We are rolling back an o4-mini snapshot, that we deployed less than a week ago and intended to improve the length of model responses, because our automated monitoring tools detected an increase in content flags.

Introducing GPT-4.1 mini, replacing GPT-4o mini, in ChatGPT for all users (May 14, 2025)

May 14, 2025 This release date was parsed from the original source when it was added (Sep 4, 2025). Original Source

GPT-4.1 mini ships faster, more capable than GPT-4o mini; API-release blog confirms evals and safety reviews accompany the update.

  • GPT-4.1 mini is a fast, capable, and efficient small model, delivering significant improvements compared to GPT-4o mini—in instruction-following, coding, and overall intelligence. Starting today, GPT-4.1 mini replaces GPT-4o mini in the model picker under "more models" for paid users, and will serve as the fallback model for free users once they reach their GPT-4o usage limits. Rate limits remain the same.
