OpenAI: Free ChatGPT Gets Unlimited Text Chats & GPT-5.6

OpenAI is removing text chat limits for free ChatGPT users. This significantly broadens access to its artificial intelligence platform. Free and Go users will soon have unlimited text chats with GPT-5.6 Luna. This change eliminates previous message caps. What's interesting is that GPT-5.6 Luna will also become the default AI model for these users. This replaces the prior default with a more capable system. Free users will also get a new "Think" button, allowing ChatGPT to spend more time on complex questions for better analytical responses. While text chats become unlimited, usage limits still apply to file uploads, image generation, and some advanced tools. Paid subscribers are also getting upgrades, with Plus and Pro users receiving an enhanced GPT-5.6 Sol model. This offers greater factual accuracy and more concise responses. These subscribers can also control how deeply ChatGPT reasons before answering. The bottom line is that these upgrades aim to make advanced AI more accessible to a global audience.
