OpenAI is rolling out GPT-5.6 Luna as the default ChatGPT model for all users, including free and paid plans, later this week. The update offers smarter responses, unlimited text chats for free and low-cost Go users, and new reasoning controls for paid subscribers. GPT-5.6 Luna aims to reduce factual errors and improve everyday interactions, while Plus and Pro users gain enhanced features like a reasoning slider. These changes come amid growing competition from lower-cost Chinese AI models.
