OpenAI ChatGPT Update

September 29, 2026 release introducing Pro 500 with Astra Ultrafast in ChatGPT Work and Codex, plus GPT-6.1 Sol, Pages, Space, Dots, Meetings, and other web features. Pro 200 subscriptions are available again, and several collaboration, automation, and sign-in capabilities expand on web.

• Sign in with ChatGPT lets users authenticate to participating products without sharing ChatGPT conversations or memory; additional access must be approved separately.
• Sharing a Page or profile does not expose private chats or memory; shared content is limited to what is added to the Page or profile.

• Pro 500 plan with access to Astra Ultrafast in ChatGPT Work and Codex; available at launch through ChatGPT on the web.
• Codex Cloud for reusable coding environments that can continue tasks from desktop, web, or mobile.
• Pages for turning conversations into editable, collaborative documents with comments and interactive content.
• Space for organizing Pages, files, and related work; replaces Library for accounts with access.
• GPT-6.1 Sol rollout in ChatGPT Work and Codex for improved agentic coding, computer use, and professional work.
• Dots: always-on agents that can work between conversations using connected apps and a cloud computer.
• Meetings plugin for capturing meeting notes and saving personalized summaries with action items in Space.
• Edit published Sites in a desktop browser and create recurring cloud schedules from Automations.
• Code Review in Codex for reviewing pull requests, diffs, and findings.

• Shareable ChatGPT profiles and Sites showcase on web and desktop.
• Start automations from connected-app events using MCP events.

• Dots usage will not count toward eligible Pro, Business, and Enterprise plan allowances for the first month.
• Dots rollout excludes the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK at launch for Pro access.
• Enterprise and Edu workspace owners can enable GPT-6.1 Sol in Workspace settings > Permissions & roles or through a custom role.
• Enterprise access to Dots is a beta and off by default.
• Meetings plugin is available in beta in the ChatGPT desktop app on macOS to Pro and Business users, with Enterprise coming soon.
• Space replaces Library for accounts with access; existing Projects remain separate.
• Pro 200 is available for new subscriptions again at $200/month, and included usage allowances are changing for affected users.
