- OpenAI is ending limits on how many texts free ChatGPT accounts can send, a change flagged by TechCrunch, Axios, and OpenAI's own announcement
- OpenAI is upgrading GPT-5.6 Sol within ChatGPT and extending GPT-5.6 Luna access to free users, per the company's own announcement
Why it matters: Free-tier ChatGPT users previously faced hard caps on text chats and were locked out of newer models; OpenAI is now lifting both barriers in one move, closing a key gap between free and paid tiers.
