OpenAI launches ChatGPT Images 2.0 with 'images with thinking' capability
OpenAI has released ChatGPT Images 2.0, a new image generation model available across all ChatGPT plans. Alongside the model, OpenAI is introducing 'images with thinking,' a feature that allows the model to plan and refine image outputs before generating them, available to paid plan users when selecting Thinking or Pro models. The release extends reasoning-style inference to image generation, a notable capability expansion.

OpenAI releases GPT-5.4 with integrated reasoning, coding, and agentic capabilities in ChatGPT
OpenAI released GPT-5.4, a frontier model that consolidates recent advances in reasoning, coding, and agentic workflows, incorporating the coding capabilities of GPT-5.3-Codex. The ChatGPT deployment introduces a 'Thinking' mode that surfaces an upfront reasoning plan mid-response, allowing users to redirect the model before it completes. Additional improvements include enhanced deep web research for specific queries, better long-context retention during extended thinking, and improved context window management for faster, higher-quality outputs.
Introducing ChatGPT Agent
OpenAI has launched ChatGPT agent, a new capability that combines reasoning with tool use to autonomously complete multi-step tasks such as research, bookings, and presentation creation. The agent operates under user guidance, integrating thinking and acting in a unified workflow. This represents OpenAI's move to bring agentic capabilities directly into the ChatGPT product for general consumers.
Thinking with images
OpenAI announced a new capability allowing its reasoning models to incorporate images directly into their chain-of-thought process, enabling visual reasoning during intermediate thinking steps rather than only at input/output boundaries. This extends multimodal reasoning to the internal computation layer, potentially improving performance on tasks requiring visual analysis combined with multi-step reasoning. The announcement comes from OpenAI's official blog, indicating a product-level capability update.
New in ChatGPT for Business: April 2025 Updates
OpenAI published an April 2025 update for ChatGPT's business tier, highlighting four capability areas: the o3 reasoning model, image generation, enhanced memory, and internal knowledge retrieval. The announcement is framed around hands-on demos for enterprise users. This represents an incremental rollout of recently released capabilities into the business product line rather than a new model launch.
Introducing ChatGPT
OpenAI announced ChatGPT, a conversational model trained to engage in dialogue, answer follow-up questions, acknowledge errors, challenge incorrect premises, and decline inappropriate requests.
