OpenAI releases new GPT-5.1; promises smarter, more conversational ChatGPT

 

OpenAI releases new GPT-5.1; promises "smarter, more conversational ChatGPT”



What’s new

  • GPT-5.1 consists of two main model variants:
    • GPT‑5.1 Instant — described as “warmer, more conversational… better at following your instructions.”
    • GPT‑5.1 Thinking — designed for advanced reasoning: faster on simple tasks, spends more time (when needed) on complex tasks, clearer language.

  • Better personalization: users get more control over tone and style. New “personality presets” include Professional, Candid, Quirky, in addition to previous ones (Default, Friendly, Efficient, Cynical, Nerdy).

  • Automatic routing: A model labelled “GPT-5.1 Auto” will route queries to the model that’s best suited (Instant vs Thinking) without the user needing to choose in many cases.

  • Roll-out plan: Paid users get access first (Pro, Plus, Business), then free/logged-out users over the next days. Older GPT-5 will remain available for paid users for about 3 months as “legacy” before sunset.

  • Safety updates: The “System Card Addendum” shows updated safety evaluation — including mental-health, emotional reliance tests.
