GPT-5 has finally arrived. Along with the announcement of the highly anticipated AI model<\/a>, OpenAI also previewed several updates coming to ChatGPT, ranging from visual changes to improvements to the chatbot\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a rundown of all of the changes you can expect to see in ChatGPT.<\/p>\n

Say goodbye to the model picker<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the rollout of GPT-5, OpenAI is getting rid of the model picker and retiring many of its older models, including GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, and GPT-4.5. ChatGPT now runs on GPT-5 by default, and has a \u201csingle auto-switching system\u201d that combines its previous models into a \u201cfaster, smarter model,\u201d theoretically eliminating the need to swap between models for different purposes.<\/p>\n

However, ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team users can still use a model picker that allows them to switch between GPT-5 or GPT-5 Thinking. Pro and Team users will also get access to GPT-Thinking Pro.<\/p>\n

OpenAI gives ChatGPT \u201cpersonalities\u201d<\/h2>\n

One of the biggest updates coming to ChatGPT is the ability to select from four new \u201cpersonalities\u201d for text-based responses. Here\u2019s how OpenAI describes each of them<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Cynic<\/strong>: Sarcastic and dry, delivers blunt help with wit. Often teases, but provides direct, practical answers when it matters.<\/p>\n

Robot<\/strong>: Precise, efficient, and emotionless, delivering direct answers without extra words.<\/p>\n

Listener<\/strong>: Warm and laid-back, reflecting your thoughts back with calm clarity and light wit.<\/p>\n

Nerd<\/strong>: Playful and curious, explaining concepts clearly while celebrating knowledge and discovery.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

These new personalities sound like they might be fun to play around with. But if you\u2019re not a fan, you can always switch back to ChatGPT\u2019s \u201cdefault\u201d style.<\/p>\n

Better vibe coding capabilities<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vibe coding, or the process of having AI generate code based on natural language prompts, just got an upgrade on ChatGPT. OpenAI says GPT-5 is even better at processing complex and descriptive prompts when asking it to create an\u00a0app or website. You can then see \u2014 and interact \u2014 with a preview of what the AI chatbot has built by opening Canvas.<\/p>\n

More app customization<\/h2>\n

OpenAI is rolling out new ways to customize ChatGPT\u2019s interface. With this update, you can set an accent color that will change the appearance of your conversation bubbles, voice button, and highlighted text.<\/p>\n

To do this on the web, click your profile icon, select Settings<\/strong> > General<\/strong>. From there, select an option from within the Accent color<\/strong> drop-down. You can do the same thing on mobile by tapping your profile picture, heading to Personalization<\/strong>, and tapping Color Scheme<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Advanced voice mode can \u201cadapt\u201d to you<\/h2>\n

ChatGPT\u2019s advanced voice mode, which allows for more natural-sounding spoken conversations, is getting an update for paid users that will make it better at understanding instructions, as well as allow subscribers to tweak its speaking style.<\/p>\n

OpenAI also announced that it\u2019s retiring standard voice mode, but it\u2019s offering \u201cnear-unlimited\u201d use of advanced voice mode for paid users, and bringing \u201chours\u201d of extra usage to free users in exchange. Advanced voice mode now works with custom GPTs, too.<\/p>\n

Easily connect your Gmail and Google Calendar<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lastly, OpenAI is making it easier to link your Gmail account and Google Calendar to ChatGPT. As explained in a demo<\/a>, ChatGPT will now ask you to connect your Gmail or Calendar when you enter a prompt, such as \u201chelp me plan my schedule tomorrow.\u201d Once you link your account, ChatGPT will draw from your schedule and your emails to plan out your day, notify you about missed emails, and more.<\/p>\n

The ability to connect these accounts is coming to Pro users next week, \u201cwith other tiers coming next.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
