OpenAI relaxes GPT-5 rate limit, promises to improve the personality

What’s new: OpenAI has relaxed the rate limits for GPT-5, increasing the weekly limit for GPT Plus subscribers to 3,000. The company has also restored older models for paid customers and introduced new options within GPT-5, including “Fast” for instant answers and “Thinking” for deeper reasoning. An update to improve GPT-5’s personality is in progress, aiming for a warmer interaction style, though it will not be as affirmative as GPT-4o. Customization of model personality per user is also being explored.
