news and everything that changes in ChatGPT with the new version of its artificial intelligence model

Let’s tell you what are the news GPT-5.6the new version of the model artificial intelligence of ChatGPT. We are going to do it in a simple way, synthesizing in a list what the improvements are so that you can understand what will change when the model starts to arrive.

The first thing you should know is that GPT 5.6 comes with three variants different, each with its own characteristics. But we are going to try to explain all this to you in the simplest way possible.

What’s new in GPT-5.6

Next, we are going to give you a list with the main news that brings this new version of the OpenAI artificial intelligence model. We are going to do it in list format with a brief explanation of each news so that it is easier to understand.

• A family of 3 models: GPT 5.6 has three variants called Sol, Terra and Luna. Sol is the most advanced model, Luna is designed for greater speed and a lower price in tokens, and Terra is the intermediate model that seeks a balance between performance and cost.
• GPT-5.6 Sun: It is the new OpenAI flagship model, designed to improve especially in programming, scientific research, knowledge-based professional work, computer use and cybersecurity.
• GPT-5.6 Terra: Terra costs half as much as GPT-5.5, but maintaining competitive performance against that model. It is the most balanced option, the standard for doing general tasks.
• GPT-5.6 Moon: It becomes the fastest and cheapest OpenAI model. This makes it especially good for use in applications where speed and cost take top priority over more robust and advanced capabilities.
• Sol has Max and Ultra modes: The Sol model also has different modalities. The Max gives you more time to reason, check and revise your approach. Meanwhile, Ultra coordinates four agents in parallel by default, giving you better results in less time, but spending more tokens.
• Software Engineering Improvements: OpenAI ensures that GPT-5.6 especially improves in software engineering, where it increases its capabilities to solve more advanced programming tasks, as well as complex development flows.
• Improvements when using your computer: AI is lately focused on agents, so it is not surprising that its capabilities have also expanded to work with interfaces and execute tasks within computing environments.
• A big leap in design: With only general indications, this new model can create functional and careful interfaces. Additionally, the aforementioned computer capabilities allow you to inspect and refine the rendered output for visual glitches before submitting the work.
• Best scientific research: This area has also been improved, with improvements aimed at scientific reasoning and specialized work.
• Best knowledge-based jobs: OpenAI highlights advances in knowledge-based professional work, with the goal of delivering better results in complex tasks performed by professionals. You can create editable presentations from scratch, and improve results when you follow templates and reference documents to apply to new content.
• What’s new for developers in the API: In the Responses API, the Programmatic Tool Calling function allows GPT-5.6 to write and execute in-memory programs that coordinate tools and process intermediate results. And the multi-agent feature, initially in beta, allows you to run simultaneous subagents and synthesize their work into a single request.
• Cybersecurity news: They also improve cybersecurity capabilities, allowing more complex tasks to be solved within this area.
• More security for AI: OpenAI strengthens protections against high-risk activities, sensitive cybersecurity-related requests, and potential repeat misuse. It also incorporates the most robust security system in the history of GPT, with several layers of protection to reduce risks during the use of the model.
• Automated network teaming tests: OpenAI claims to have spent several weeks doing automated red teaming, searching for vulnerabilities and stress testing the system. With this, the model has been strengthened against real attacks before its launch.
• Availability according to your plan: In ChatGPT, Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise users can access GPT-5.6 Sol, and Pro and Enterprise users can also choose GPT-5.6 Sol Pro. In ChatGPT Work and Codex, Free and Go users use Terra, while paid plans can choose between the three models and adjust the effort level of each. The deployment began on July 9 and will be gradually completed within 24 hours.
