OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Work and GPT-5.6 Models
OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Work, a new agent for professional tasks, alongside the new GPT-5.6 large language models. ChatGPT Work can manage multi-step jobs across web, mobile, and desktop using user application data.
What happened?
OpenAI announced on 9 July 2026 the launch of ChatGPT Work, an intelligent agent designed to handle professional tasks. Concurrently, new language models in the GPT-5.6 series were released.

Key facts
”OpenAI today announced ChatGPT Work, a ChatGPT agent with built-in Codex that can complete tasks across web, mobile, and desktop using information from your apps.”
”ChatGPT Work is powered by OpenAI's GPT–5.6 models, which are also rolling out today after a limited preview period. Sol is OpenAI's new flagship model, while Terra is a balanced everyday work model and Luna is a cost-efficient model.”
”OpenAI says that GPT–5.6 Sol achieves "state-of-the-art results" in coding, knowledge work, cybersecurity, and science. It outperforms prior frontier models while using fewer tokens for a lower estimated cost.”
Why it matters
This launch represents a move towards more autonomous AI agents capable of assisting with, and occasionally independently executing, advanced workflows. The new GPT-5.6 models, led by the flagship Sol, offer improved performance in areas such as coding and knowledge work, potentially leading to more efficient development processes and automated office functions.
Who is affected?
Developers, enterprises using AI for automation, and users seeking advanced AI assistants are directly affected. ChatGPT Work and GPT-5.6 could transform how multinational companies manage data and workflows.
What else you should know
ChatGPT Work can perform tasks in the background, similar to Claude Cowork, and handles local files as well as web content via a built-in browser. The new "Sites" beta feature allows for the creation of interactive websites and dashboards.
