According to OpenAI, the <strong>Instant model<\/strong> is the first to use <strong>adaptive reasoning<\/strong> to decide when it needs to &#8220;think&#8221; before answering more challenging questions, thereby providing more comprehensive and accurate answers while also maintaining speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Thinking model<\/strong>, on the other hand, has been made more stable on complex tasks, faster on simple tasks, and more understandable. The model now adapts its &#8220;thinking time&#8221; more precisely to the question, dedicating more time to complex problems while responding faster to simpler ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OpenAI is also expanding the model&#8217;s <strong>conversational style options<\/strong> with the new update. Options now include tones such as <strong>Default<\/strong>, <strong>Professional<\/strong>, <strong>Friendly<\/strong>, <strong>Candid<\/strong>, <strong>Quirky<\/strong>, <strong>Efficient<\/strong>, <strong>Nerdy<\/strong>, and <strong>Cynical<\/strong>. The company also announced that a new <strong>experimental feature<\/strong> allowing users to <strong>customize ChatGPT&#8217;s style<\/strong> directly from the settings will roll out to some users this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The new models will begin rolling out this week. The old <strong>GPT-5<\/strong> models will remain in ChatGPT\u2019s \u201c<strong>legacy models<\/strong>\u201d menu for three months before being removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GPT-5 failed to meet expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/OpenAI-introduces-GPT-5-2.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/OpenAI-introduces-GPT-5-2.webp 720w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/OpenAI-introduces-GPT-5-2-300x201.webp 300w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/OpenAI-introduces-GPT-5-2-150x100.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although <strong>GPT-5<\/strong> was introduced in August with high expectations, many <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/tag\/chatgpt-news-and-content\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"65\">ChatGPT<\/a><\/em><\/strong> users were disappointed, feeling the innovations were limited.

Currently, <strong>Anthropic&#8217;s<\/strong> models are being used in <strong>Copilot Researcher<\/strong>, <strong>GitHub Copilot<\/strong>, <strong>Copilot Studio<\/strong>, and the new <strong>Office Agent<\/strong> systems capable of creating Word and PowerPoint documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>GPT-5.1<\/strong> announcement follows <strong>OpenAI&#8217;s<\/strong> recent introduction of its AI-powered web browser, <strong>ChatGPT Atlas<\/strong>. This browser features an &#8220;<strong>agent mode<\/strong>,&#8221; available only to <strong>ChatGPT Plus<\/strong> and <strong>Pro<\/strong> users.
