Because we are beyond happy to have Astra rolled out today ahead of schedule and you have been super patient with us (not really, but it’s ok!)… we will do the full banked reset today too for all Plus, Pro and Business users. Lands end of day.
Happy Astra day and enjoy a phenomenal weekend.
PS: If you create the account or upgrade before 8pm PT you will get it too. Still time!
We are starting to release GPT-6 Astra and we are doing it as carefully and quickly as possible. It was very important to us that we bring it to all Plus users and not only Pro, Business and Enterprise.
It will take a few days for the rollout to complete and behind the scenes many novel systems will operate at scale for the first time and we are bringing a lot of compute up.
It is pure magic.

For those of you who might be lamenting today's update, what would you think if we told you this will actually benefit most users? Rather than having rigid daily limits for each artifact, now you get to spend those limits on what you really care about. For example, over the course of 24 hours on the free tier you should get:
— 3x more Audio Overviews
— 10x more Reports
— 20x more Quizzes & Flashcards
And the list goes on. Also, the vast majority of users should not max out their limits during a regular session, and even if you do, with the new deferred artifact generation you can still keep creating throughout the day.
Just try it! You might actually like it!!!
We’re introducing a new capability to our latest Gemini models: agentic video understanding.
This allows developers to process long-form video content with more accuracy, while using up to 88% less tokens.
See how it works 🧵
The @GeminiApp can transform your questions and complex topics into custom and interactive visualizations — directly within your chat.
Whether you’re rotating a molecule or simulating a complex physics system, you create 3D simulations with just one prompt in Gemini. Try starting your prompt with “show me...,” to get your interactive visualization.
For the best results, try using Gemini’s Flash model.
We’ve written an FAQ to answer some of the questions we've received about watermarking.
In summary:
• We’re implementing watermarking to comply with the EU AI Act. Other major model developers have signed the same Code of Practice and will also be implementing watermarking;
• Our watermarking method doesn’t have any practical impact on the quality or content of Claude’s outputs;
• The difference between watermarked and un-watermarked text will not be distinguishable to readers;
• Nothing is added to the text and there are no hidden characters;
• Watermarking doesn’t require extra tokens, and will not be more expensive;
• Watermarks can’t be traced to a specific person, organization, or chat.

Rolling out over the next few days, you can decide if your image, video, and music creations made with Gemini will have visible watermarks. Invisible SynthID watermarks and C2PA metadata will always stay embedded in the background.
Simply go to your settings and toggle “Show watermark” on or off to set your preferences across all future images, videos, and music tracks.
ChatGPT can now remember your activity across the apps and websites on your computer.
With Computer History in the desktop app, future interactions feel more personalized and require less explanation.
Today we're introducing Gemini 3.7 Flash, our most intelligent workhorse model yet for coding and agents.
This model brings substantial gains across software engineering, web development, and complex knowledge work.
Now through the end of the year, Gemini 3.7 Flash is available at an introductory price* of $0.75/1M input and $3.75/1M output tokens — making it easier and more cost-effective for developers and customers to scale production-ready agents.
