Gemini Robotics ER 2 in public preview: Released two new embodied reasoning model endpoints for robotics: gemini-robotics-er-2-preview: Advanced spatial reasoning, agentic code execution, multi-step tool orchestration, video moment finding, progress classification, and multi-robot coordination. gemini-robotics-er-2-streaming-preview: Optimized for real-time text streaming using the Live API, enabling low-latency robot agents with bidirectional audio and video input. Both model endpoints accept text, image, video, and audio inputs and support function calling with blocking behavior for physical robot actions. To get started, see the Gemini Robotics ER overview. For real-time streaming use cases, see Robotics with streaming. Deprecation announcement: The gemini-robotics-er-1.6-preview model will be shut down on August 31, 2026.
Released the official OpenAI Terraform provider for managing OpenAI API Platform resources as infrastructure as code. Provision and manage projects, users, groups, roles, access assignments, service accounts, certificates, invitations, and project-level rate limits. Use standard Terraform workflows to review and apply changes, import existing resources, and detect and reconcile configuration drift. Install the provider from the Terraform Registry.
Released GPT Transcribe for accurate file transcription and final transcripts of committed Realtime turns, along with GPT Live Transcribe for low-latency streaming transcription. Both models support free-form transcription context, keyword hints, and multiple expected input languages. Compare supported outputs and workflows in the transcription guide.
Added hard spend limits for organizations and projects on the OpenAI API platform. Set a monthly cap that causes affected API requests to return a 429 error when tracked spend reaches the limit. Use spend alerts for notification before traffic is interrupted. Read more in the spend limits guide.
Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite generally available (GA): Released stable, production-ready versions of our latest 3.x Flash models: Gemini 3.6 Flash (gemini-3.6-flash): Features improved token efficiency and code/agentic planning capabilities at a lower price point than 3.5 Flash, resolving developer feedback around output verbosity. Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite (gemini-3.5-flash-lite): Offers a low-latency, highly cost-effective subagent option designed for high-volume automation. To learn more, see the Gemini 3.6 Flash guide. Deprecated parameters: The sampling parameters temperature, top_p and top_k are now deprecated. See the Gemini 3.6 Flash guide for details.
Released the GPT-5.6 model family, including GPT-5.6 Sol for frontier capability, GPT-5.6 Terra for a balance of intelligence and cost, and GPT-5.6 Luna for efficient, high-volume workloads. The gpt-5.6 alias routes requests to gpt-5.6-sol. GPT-5.6 adds Programmatic Tool Calling, explicit prompt caching controls, persisted reasoning, max reasoning effort, and Pro mode, and Multi-agent orchestration in beta for the Responses API. GPT-5.6 also accepts images at their original dimensions with original or auto image detail.
Released GPT-Realtime-2.1, an updated realtime reasoning model with improved alphanumeric recognition, silence and noise handling, and interruption behavior. Also released GPT-Realtime-2.1 mini, a faster, lower-cost distilled reasoning model for realtime voice applications.
Gemini Omni Flash in public preview: Released gemini-omni-flash-preview, a high-performance multimodal model designed for high-speed video generation and conversational video editing. Using the Interactions API, you can generate 3–10 second videos at 720p from text descriptions or animate still images, and then conversationally edit and refine the outputs. To get started, see the Gemini Omni Flash guide and the Gemini Omni Flash model card. Released gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image (Nano Banana 2 Lite) to general availability (GA), our built-in multimodal model optimized for ultra-low latency and cost-effective image generation and editing. See the Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image model card and the Image generation guide.
Computer Use: Launched public preview support for the Computer Use tool in Gemini 3.5 Flash. This release includes simplified actions with intents, built-in support for browser, mobile, and desktop environments, configurable safety policies, and advanced prompt injection detection.
Updated the chat-latest snapshot, which points to the latest Instant model currently used in ChatGPT. We recommend leveraging GPT-5.5 for production API usage, but feel free to use this model to test the latest improvements for chat use cases. The underlying model snapshot will be regularly updated.
