Release notes

Starting July 30, GPT‑5.6 Luna costs 80% less, while GPT‑5.6 Terra costs 20% less. We’re also introducing Fast mode in the API, which replaces our Priority Processing offering. For GPT‑5.6 Sol, Fast mode now delivers up to 2.5× faster speeds than standard processing at twice the price. This change is backward compatible: requests tagged priority will automatically use Fast mode.

Released the official OpenAI Terraform provider for managing OpenAI API Platform resources as infrastructure as code.

Provision and manage projects, users, groups, roles, access assignments, service accounts, certificates, invitations, and project-level rate limits. Use standard Terraform workflows to review and apply changes, import existing resources, and detect and reconcile configuration drift.

Research rarely happens alone. ChatGPT for Academic Researchers gives faculty and postdoctoral researchers the ability to apply for 12 months of complimentary access to a dedicated ChatGPT workspace for a small, verified team. Each workspace supports up to five members and includes business data protections and ChatGPT Pro-level usage limits, helping researchers collaborate while keeping team research in its own workspace.

To apply, researchers sign in with an institutional email, verify their affiliation through SheerID, and share a qualifying paper and a short description of their intended research use. Approved applicants complete a $0 checkout with a valid card, create the workspace, and can invite up to four verified collaborators from the same institution. Researchers at existing ChatGPT Edu institutions can still apply, but when approved, follow an institution-managed Edu route instead.

The program covers ChatGPT access, not API credits.

Released GPT Transcribe for accurate file transcription and final transcripts of committed Realtime turns, along with GPT Live Transcribe for low-latency streaming transcription.

Both models support free-form transcription context, keyword hints, and multiple expected input languages.

We’re starting to roll out a new health experience in ChatGPT. Logged-in Free, Go, Plus, and Pro users in the United States who are 18 or older can securely connect supported health records and Apple Health data, see a dashboard of their health information, and ask questions grounded in their personal health context.

Available on web and iOS, Health lets you view lab results, medications, activity, sleep, and other health information in one place. You can ask questions directly in ChatGPT or use the Health tab to explore trends, prepare for appointments, understand test results, track wellness goals, and think through questions to discuss with a healthcare professional. The experience builds on feedback from early testers and gives you control over what you connect and when ChatGPT can use it.

Health is built with layered privacy and security safeguards. Connected medical records and Apple Health information, and conversations that use it, are not used to train our foundation models or target ads.

ChatGPT Health is designed to support, not replace, medical care and is not intended for diagnosis or treatment.
