In the latest news, OpenAI has made a significant update to its ChatGPT app on both Android and iOS platforms, introducing a new "Thinking Duration" feature that allows users to adjust the depth of AI thinking according to their needs. This update was first reported by the tech media bleepingcomputer on December 29th, aiming to bring a desktop-like experience to mobile users.
Previously, the thinking mode of the Android version of ChatGPT was limited to the "Standard" mode. Although this mode responds quickly, it often struggles with tasks requiring deep reasoning. After this update, users can switch between "Standard Thinking" (Standard Thinking) and "Extended Thinking" (Extended Thinking), meeting the needs of different usage scenarios.
The "Standard Thinking" mode focuses on quick feedback and is suitable for simple daily questions. On the other hand, the "Extended Thinking" mode allows the AI to use more computational resources and time, helping users solve complex math, programming, and logical analysis problems more accurately. This change will significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of mobile users when using ChatGPT.
It should be noted that this new feature is currently only available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, and regular Go subscribers cannot use it yet. In addition, OpenAI has also restructured the desktop interface and introduced a "Formatted Module" feature. This new feature will significantly improve the formatting of model outputs, automatically identify the type of user's task, and adjust the interface layout accordingly. For example, when a user requests to write an email, the new interface will resemble a professional email client rather than just a text box, improving the intuitiveness of the user experience.
With these updates, ChatGPT is continuously moving towards higher intelligence and user-friendliness, providing better AI services to more users. In the future, OpenAI may introduce more practical features, making the user interaction experience more rich and efficient.
