ChatGPT users on Android have been using the standard version of thinking but that finally changes for the premium version
Thinking mode on Android will give you better answers
ChatGPT users on Android can finally unlock the real version of Thinking mode for their queries and other tasks. This has been offered by the new update for the ChatGPT Android app in the last few days, which now allows people to use the brains of the AI chatbot and make it think harder.
The feature has been available for a while but reports claim OpenAI had throttled its thinking with less computing power used to give you the results. The new version of the Android app is going to use the full technical power available from OpenAI.
Thinking Mode In ChatGPT: How It Works
The actual version of Thinking Mode in ChatGPT for Android users now lets you choose from Auto, Instant or Thinking modes based on how long you want the AI chatbot to take before giving you the answer.
Giving AI more time to think is similar to the ability offered to humans, who are then able to offer detailed and more accurate responses. It goes without saying that Thinking mode for ChatGPT Android needs a premium version and it continues to work in the default state for the free users.
OpenAI has been in code red for a while now and Sam Altman, CEO at the company is looking to gear up for the challenges ahead with a new big hiring. He has shared a hiring post for the position of head of preparedness, who is going to be entrusted with making everything at the company tick the right bones and keep OpenAI away from the controversial matters.
Usually you would call it crisis management but in this case, Altman wants the head of this role to be aware of the surroundings and pre-empt events that could complicate matters for the AI tech giant.
Altman sharing this hiring post also hints at the company having concerns about AI agents and the security risks like prompt injections that are only going to get dangerous in 2026. “This is a critical role at an important time; models are improving quickly and are now capable of many great things, but they are also starting to present some real challenges.
