OpenAI is expanding access to one of its key productivity features. Projects, which allow you to bring chats and files together in one place, are now available on the free tier of ChatGPT. So if you are on the free ChatGPT plan, you can now upload up to five files per project.
Paid subscribers will continue to get higher limits. The Plus, Go, and Edu plans now support up to 25 files per project, while Pro, Business, and Enterprise users can upload up to 40 files per project. Along with the rollout, OpenAI has added new customization options across all plans, including the ability to use colors and icons for better project organization.
The feature was introduced earlier this year as part of OpenAI’s push to make ChatGPT more useful for work and study. By combining chats and related files into a single workspace, it is designed to help you stay focused and manage tasks without jumping between different conversations.
However, that’s not all; the company is also working on more features. Recently, a new experimental feature called Thinking effort has surfaced in the ChatGPT web app. The option, spotted by X user Tibor Blaho, appears in the model picker and lets users adjust how much reasoning the AI applies before generating a response.
The hidden menu shows four levels: Light (5), Standard (18), Extended (48), and Max (200). Obviously, OpenAI has not shared what these numbers mean, but they likely represent the number of reasoning steps the model takes. If this feature rolls out, then it could give more control over balancing speed and depth in ChatGPT’s answers.
