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.", "body_md": "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.\n\n## GPT-6, ChatGPT Work, and plugins\n\nFirst, ChatGPT Voice can now be powered by OpenAI’s three GPT-6 models. [Astra](https://9to5mac.com/2026/09/04/openai-releasing-major-upgrade-to-chatgpt-and-codex-with-gpt-6-astra-details-here/), 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](https://9to5mac.com/2026/09/22/openai-upgrading-chatgpt-and-codex-with-two-more-gpt-6-models/).\n\nNext, 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.\n\nLastly, 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.\n\nBack in July, OpenAI [brought modern voice control](https://9to5mac.com/2026/07/23/openai-updating-chatgpt-desktop-app-with-gpt-voice-for-talking-through-work/) to the ChatGPT desktop app. It’s great to see this focus on voice continue with today’s ChatGPT Voice-focused update.\n\n**Do more with your Apple products**\n\n[AirPods 5 | Apple’s newest wireless headphones](https://amzn.to/4hnE1jt)\n\n[Apple AirTag 2 | Add Find My tracking to keys, bags, bikes, more](https://amzn.to/4vjNWN1)\n\n[AirPods Pro 3 | Apple’s best wireless headphones](https://amzn.to/4ut3FYp)\n\n*FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.* [More.](https://9to5mac.com/about/#affiliate)\n\n[our homepage](http://9to5mac.com/)for all the latest news, and follow 9to5Mac on\n\n[exclusive stories](https://9to5mac.com/feature/exclusive/),\n\n[reviews](https://9to5mac.com/guides/review/),\n\n[how-tos](https://9to5mac.com/guides/how-to/), and\n\n[subscribe to our YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/9to5mac)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/openai-just-upgraded-chatgpt-voice-in-three-ways", "canonical_source": "https://9to5mac.com/2026/09/23/openai-just-upgraded-chatgpt-voice-in-three-ways/", "published_at": "2026-09-23 17:24:11+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-23 17:31:18.529308+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models", "ai-products", "ai-agents", "generative-ai"], "entities": ["OpenAI", "ChatGPT Voice", "ChatGPT Work", "GPT-6", "Astra", "Sol", "Luna", "Slack"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/openai-just-upgraded-chatgpt-voice-in-three-ways", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/openai-just-upgraded-chatgpt-voice-in-three-ways.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/openai-just-upgraded-chatgpt-voice-in-three-ways.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/openai-just-upgraded-chatgpt-voice-in-three-ways.jsonld"}}
