According to TechCrunch AI, OpenAI has announced that ChatGPT free users will now have access to unlimited text chats, removing previous usage restrictions on the platform’s no-cost tier. The change represents a significant expansion of capabilities available to users who don’t subscribe to paid plans.
The company also introduced a new “think” button feature for both free and ChatGPT Go users, designed to help with complex queries, TechCrunch AI reports. While the source doesn’t provide specific details about how the think button functions or what differentiates it from standard query processing, the feature appears to be aimed at handling more sophisticated user requests.
The announcement marks OpenAI’s latest effort to expand access to its AI chatbot technology. No information was provided in the source about when these changes will take effect or whether other ChatGPT features remain restricted for free users.
