A higher-capacity seat for ChatGPT Business at $125 per user per month, with five times the usage of a Standard seat.

Codex reviews GitHub pull requests specifically for security problems and posts findings into the pull request.

  • Best for: Catching security issues in a pull request before it merges, without waiting on a dedicated security reviewer.

Agent Plugins

An open standard for packaging agent instructions and tool connections into one folder that works across different AI clients.

OpenAI
  • Best for: Building a reusable set of instructions and tool connections once instead of rebuilding it for each AI client your team uses.
  • When to use it: Your team runs more than one agent client and keeps duplicating the same skills and server configs across them.
  • Who benefits: Developer and ops teams maintaining internal AI tooling across a mixed set of clients.

GPT-5.6 Sol and Luna in ChatGPT

ChatGPT's chat experience gets an updated GPT-5.6 Sol for paid users and unlimited GPT-5.6 Luna chats for free users.

  • Best for: Everyday ChatGPT work where you want a direct answer instead of a padded one, and where you sometimes need it to think harder.
  • When to use it: You are on Plus or Pro and want to dial reasoning up or down per question, or you use the free tier and keep hitting message caps.
  • Who benefits: Marketers who live in ChatGPT chat all day, and teams whose members are still on the free plan.

Education Plugins for ChatGPT Work and Codex

Three prebuilt setups for ChatGPT Work and Codex, one each for K-12 teachers, college instructors, and college students, that arrive loaded with the apps, skills, and workflows for that role.

  • Best for: Schools and universities that want staff and students working with AI without building prompts from scratch.
  • When to use it: Your institution runs ChatGPT Edu or ChatGPT for Teachers and people keep stalling at the blank prompt box.
  • Who benefits: K-12 teachers, college faculty, and college students inside an institution-managed workspace. Not individual consumer accounts.
