Overview
- GPT‑Image‑1.5 is now in ChatGPT and the API, delivering up to 4x faster generation with stronger instruction following, precise edits, and better preservation of lighting, composition and likeness.
- ChatGPT adds a dedicated Images area with a library, editing tools, style presets and visual answers; commercial use is permitted, with users liable and restrictions on real‑person depictions and hate content.
- The ChatGPT Apps directory is live, bringing third‑party tools like Apple Music, Spotify, Adobe Photoshop, Canva, Booking.com, Expedia, Tripadvisor, Figma, Coursera and Zillow directly into chat.
- OpenAI’s app integrations run on the Model Context Protocol and surface permissions in‑product, with monetization features planned and open questions about data access and provider prominence.
- OpenAI launches ChatGPT Go in Germany for €8 per month, offering broader GPT‑5 access, faster image generation limits, enhanced data analysis, improved memory and a limited Deep Research agent, as researchers also flag active macOS malware campaigns using ChatGPT‑style pages and the risks of locally run, filter‑free open‑source models.
