ChatGPT 5.1 Is Smarter, Nicer, and Better at Actually Doing What You Asked

GPT-5.1 offers customizable tones and two adaptive response modes to improve speed for simple queries and reasoning for complex tasks, rolling out first to ChatGPT Plus users.

  • OpenAI quietly added ChatGPT‑5.1 to the ChatGPT model picker, rolling it out to ChatGPT Plus subscribers as the new default in GPT‑4, with availability arriving soon.
  • To make ChatGPT more versatile, OpenAI added custom controls for tone and personality and adaptive computation to allocate more thinking time for harder problems.
  • Click the 'Customize ChatGPT' button to set default tone and presets, with Instant mode for fast replies and Thinking mode for detailed planning, demonstrated by example prompts.
  • Try the seven suggested prompts to explore Instant and Thinking, paste writing into the chatbot to see tone customization, and log out and back in if the model doesn't appear.
  • The update positions ChatGPT to act more like a personalized assistant, with OpenAI claiming GPT‑5.1 improves accuracy and reduces hallucinations, though time will tell how it compares to ChatGPT‑5 after past problematic launches.
