OpenAI just upgraded ChatGPT Voice in three ways

OpenAI is rolling out three upgrades to ChatGPT Voice: support for its three GPT-6 models (Astra, Sol and Luna), plugin integrations including email, calendar and Slack, and compatibility with ChatGPT Work on web and mobile. Astra, the most capable GPT-6 model, launched a few weeks ago, while Sol and Luna were upgraded to GPT-6 on September 22, 2026. The changes follow OpenAI's July 2026 addition of modern voice control to the ChatGPT desktop app.

Talking to ChatGPT is getting better in three ways starting today. OpenAI is rolling out a collection of improvements to how ChatGPT Voice mode works.

GPT-6, ChatGPT Work, and plugins #

First, ChatGPT Voice can now be powered by OpenAI’s three GPT-6 models. Astra, the most capable, has been out for a few weeks. Sol and Luna, the new medium and small intelligence models were upgraded to GPT-6 yesterday.

Next, OpenAI says that plugins now work with ChatGPT Voice. This includes integration like email, calendar, and Slack. This was a big disconnect for ChatGPT Voice users before, so it should be a highly welcome change.

Lastly, ChatGPT Voice now works with ChatGPT Work on the web and mobile. ChatGPT Work is OpenAI’s cloud-connected agentic system that works everywhere. It’s sort of like Codex on the desktop, but available in more places.

Back in July, OpenAI brought modern voice control to the ChatGPT desktop app. It’s great to see this focus on voice continue with today’s ChatGPT Voice-focused update.
