After launching GPT-5 a few days ago, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman rolled out new updates today, 13 August, saying users can now choose between three response modes-Auto, Fast and Thinking-and that rate limits for ‘Thinking’ mode are set at 3,000 messages\/week. For more capacity, he said users can switch to GPT-5 Thinking mini.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

ChatGPT gets 196k tokens for faster processing<\/h2>\n

Sam Altman said most people would use \u2018Auto\u2019; however, he believes the extra control will benefit some users. With a new 196k-token context limit, the model can now process much longer documents and conversations. He also mentioned that the limit may be revisited as usage patterns shift.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cYou can now choose between \u201cAuto\u201d, \u201cFast\u201d, and \u201cThinking\u201d for GPT-5<\/a>. Most users will want Auto, but the additional control will be useful for some people. Rate limits are now 3,000 messages\/week with GPT-5 Thinking, and then extra capacity on GPT-5 Thinking mini after that limit. Context limit for GPT-5 Thinking is 196k tokens. We may have to update rate limits over time depending on usage,\u201d the OpenAI CEO said in a post on X.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

GPT-4o comeback<\/h2>\n

Sam Altman shared that GPT-4o has officially returned to the model picker for all paying users by default. He noted that if OpenAI ever decides to deprecate it, users will receive ample notice in advance. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He mentioned that paid users now have access to a “Show additional models” toggle in the ChatGPT web settings, which allows them to add models like o3, 4.1, and GPT-5 Thinking mini. Sam further clarified that GPT-4.5 remains exclusive to Pro users, as it requires significantly more GPU resources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe are working on an update to GPT-5\u2019s personality which should feel warmer than the current personality but not as annoying (to most users) as GPT-4o. However, one learning for us from the past few days is we really just need to get to a world with more per-user customization of model personality,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In its announcement last week, OpenAI <\/a>said that GPT-5 offers improved performance in coding and reasoning through complex problems. The company described it as advanced enough to elevate ChatGPT to a PhD-level expert. It said, \u201cGPT\u20115 is our strongest coding model to date.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
