In its October 30 ChatGPT Business release notes, OpenAI said GPT-6 Rosalind Research is rolling out to a limited set of customers with Research approval. It shows up in the model picker in ChatGPT Work and Codex, not in the Chat tab, and separately approved organizations can call it through the API as gpt-6-rosalind. OpenAI's token-based Enterprise rate card lists it at $15 per million input tokens, $1.50 cached input and $75 output, three times the price of GPT-5.5 Rosalind Research.

Per OpenAI's model docs, GPT-5.5 retires from ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work and Codex on all plans on 2026-10-14; the OpenAI API is not affected. Codex users on ChatGPT sign-in should pick gpt-6-sol (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, Edu) or gpt-6-luna in the desktop app (Free, Go), with gpt-6.1-sol recommended for complex coding. Any config.toml, custom agent, scheduled task or script pinned to gpt-5.5 needs updating now.

OpenAI's Codex lead Tibo says GPT-6.1 Sol's default context in Codex and ChatGPT Work goes from 272K to 500K (~80% more) to cut compactions on long tasks, with no long-context fees when usage comes from a ChatGPT subscription. Separately, the official Codex changelog says GPT-5.5 retires from ChatGPT and Codex on all plans on October 14 (the API keeps it).

On Oct 5, Codex lead Thibault "Tibo" Sottiaux committed that for the next 28 days OpenAI will ship one clear improvement for most Codex/ChatGPT Work users each day, or give everyone a full usage reset. Day 1 is an inference speedup: GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol are ~50% faster by default on subscriptions (roughly 30 to 50 tokens/s), including partner tools using Sign in with ChatGPT. No API speed change was announced.

OpenAI announced GPT-6 Sol and Luna. They bring much of GPT-6 Astra’s strengths into faster, more affordable models, with API prices 50% lower than GPT-5.6 promotional pricing, and are rolling out in ChatGPT Work, Codex, and the API.

@OpenAI launched ChatGPT for Financial Services, a tailored ChatGPT Work experience that pairs built-in financial data with GPT-6 Astra reasoning so teams can research, build models, and create client materials. Shaped with Morgan Stanley and Evercore, it includes premium data from providers such as Daloopa, PitchBook, LSEG News, and Crunchbase.

ChatGPT announced that on October 14, 2026, GPT-5.5 will leave ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, and Codex across all plans; Codex users should switch to GPT-5.6 Sol or GPT-6 Astra. OpenAI Developers clarified that GPT-5.5 remains available via the OpenAI API Platform and in Codex sessions authenticated with an API key.

ChatGPT announced a new Data agent in ChatGPT Work: add the Data Plugin, connect trusted company data sources and context, then turn questions into answers, interactive dashboards, and action. OpenAI says it is built from the same tools OpenAI uses internally for data analysis (openai.com/index/put-data-to-work/).

OpenAI is rolling out ChatGPT Images 2.5 to all ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, and Codex users on desktop, mobile, and web, citing faster generation, higher fidelity, and more consistent details across edits. The API adds GPT-Image-2.5 Flare for quality, editing, and speed, plus GPT-Image-2.5 Sunburst for more precise creative work with longer generation times.
