OpenAI just rolled out its group chat feature across all subscription tiers after an initial test period, allowing up to 20 users to simultaneously collaborate with each other and with ChatGPT in the same thread. The details: Shared chats are accessed through invite links, with ChatGPT gauging conversation flow and interjecting when appropriate or directly mentioned. Rate limits apply to AI responses rather than human messages, with the usage counting against the user who triggered the model reply. Privacy features isolate group sessions from individual memory, with ChatGPT not retaining info from collaborative threads or applying personal context. The feature initially launched in four Asia-Pacific markets last week for a test trial and is now expanding to Free, Go, Plus, and Pro tiers. Why it matters: Group projects just got a powerful new collaboration tool for the AI age. It might take some time to get the flow of using ChatGPT alongside friends or coworkers, but in a short time, we’ll likely see (and welcome) contributions from models in collaborative efforts as naturally as any other human participants.
What features are included?

OpenAI just made a major announcement, releasing ChatGPT for Teachers— launching a secure workspace designed specifically for K-12 educators. It's free for verified U.S. teachers through June 2027, and it's built to address privacy concerns that have held many districts back from adopting the platform.
Key features of the platform:
• Education-grade privacy and security that is FERPA-compliant
• School and district leaders can bring their school staff into one account with admin controls
• Includes personalized teaching and collaboration tools, plus examples and prompts from teachers already using ChatGPT
OpenAI has also announced they are working with districts representing 150,000 educators for ongoing feedback to guide improvements.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to record and summarize meetings directly in the ChatGPT desktop app without third-party tools like Fireflies or Otter — perfect for companies that block external recording tools or privacy-sensitive teams. Step-by-step: Download the ChatGPT desktop app and log in with a Plus, Pro, Business, or Enterprise account (free accounts don't have full access) Click the "Record" button during your meeting, lecture, or session, and a recording panel appears and runs quietly in the background (always ask permission before recording others) Click "Stop" when finished, then send the recording to ChatGPT for a structured breakdown including summary, key points, action items, and suggested follow-ups Chat with your transcript by asking follow-ups like "Rewrite the summary in bullets for a Slack update" or "Highlight any risks or unanswered questions" Our Take: With ChatGPT record, you get the convenience of tools like Fireflies/Otter without having to invite an awkward bot into every Zoom call.
ChatGPT will let people collaborate together in shared conversations. Key Points: New group chats let friends, family, and coworkers work with ChatGPT in one space. ChatGPT decides when to respond and can react with emojis, images, and shared context. The pilot launches in four regions across Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans. Details: OpenAI is rolling out group chats that let users collaborate with each other and ChatGPT in the same conversation. People can plan trips, work on shared ideas, or settle debates while ChatGPT follows along and helps when needed. Anyone can join through a link, and chats remain separate from private conversations. The pilot starts in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan. Why It Matters: Group chats turn ChatGPT into more than a solo brainstorming buddy: it starts to look like a shared workspace that sits on top of your existing group chats. You can co-write docs, plan trips, or debate ideas while everyone sees the same suggestions, summaries, and follow-ups in one place, instead of forwarding screenshots or pasting replies from separate chats. For teams, classrooms, and friend groups, this nudges AI closer to how people actually make decisions together day to day.
Today we’re starting to roll out GPT-5.1 in ChatGPT. It brings improvements to how enjoyable ChatGPT feels to talk to, and how well it follows what you’re actually asking.
GPT-5.1 Instant is now warmer, more reliable with instructions, and can use reasoning on tougher questions for the first time. GPT-5.1 Thinking adapts its reasoning time to the complexity of the task and gives clearer, more approachable responses.
We’re also beginning to make tone and style easier to personalize, so ChatGPT can respond in a way that feels right for you.
For months, extremely personal and sensitive ChatGPT conversations have been leaking into an unexpected destination: Google Search Console (GSC), a tool that developers typically use to monitor search traffic, not lurk private chats.
Researchers found that the language the chatbot used when offering medical attention came across as more convincing and agreeable than that of real people. So even if the information it provided was inaccurate, it was hard to decipher since the chatbot came across as confident and trustworthy.
In turn, doctors are finding that patients will show up to appointments with their minds made up, often referring to the advice given from AI tools.
OpenAI rolled out Company Knowledge for ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and Edu that connects to internal apps like Slack, SharePoint, Google Drive, and GitHub. The feature delivers organization-specific answers inside ChatGPT and shows citations for every source used. The capability runs on a version of GPT-5 that searches multiple sources, resolves conflicting details, and produces comprehensive responses. It respects existing user permissions, gives admins granular control over connected apps, and is available immediately to all eligible customers.
In the first known federal search warrant asking OpenAI for user data, reviewed by Forbes after it was unsealed in Maine last week, Homeland Security Investigations revealed it had been chatting with the administrator in an undercover capacity on the child exploitation site when the suspect noted they’d been using ChatGPT.
The suspect then disclosed some prompts and responses they had received

OpenAI will finally stop saving most ChatGPT users' deleted and temporary chats after a court fight compelled the #AI firm to retain the logs "indefinitely."
The preservation order came in a lawsuit filed by The New York Times and other news plaintiffs, who alleged that user attempts to skirt #paywalls with ChatGPT would most likely set their chats as temporary or delete the logs.
