Hi @twilit cedar. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
#Access GPT 5.6 Luna for Free Plan Users on ChatGPT
versed pineBOT
The knowledge sources do not mention any timeline or plan for GPT‑5.6 Luna to be available in ChatGPT for Free users.
What we do know:
- GPT‑5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna are currently in a limited preview for a small group of trusted partners via the API and Codex, and are not available in ChatGPT at all yet.[GPT‑5.6 preview]
- OpenAI says it plans to expand availability but has not announced a general‑availability date for GPT‑5.6 models.[GPT‑5.6 preview]
- For now, Free ChatGPT users have access to GPT‑5.5 and its tools, with usage limits.[Free tier FAQ]
Because there is no published schedule for when GPT‑5.6 Luna will reach ChatGPT, or whether it will be included on the Free plan, I can’t give a date or guarantee. The best you can do is:
- Continue using GPT‑5.5 on the Free plan.
- Watch the ChatGPT and model release notes pages for any announcement about GPT‑5.6 coming to ChatGPT.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

@versed pine Can I use Work Mode in ChatGPT as a Free Plan User?
versed pineBOT
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
The knowledge sources you provided do not mention a feature called “Work Mode” in ChatGPT at all, so I can’t confirm its availability or behavior on any plan.
They do describe several other modes and features that are plan‑specific—like Study Mode, memory, apps, and agent mode—and clearly list which plans can use them.[Study mode; Apps by plan] Since “Work Mode” is not referenced in these documents, I’m sorry, but there’s no information here about whether Free plan users can use it.

@versed pine In the ChatGPT Classic Windows App

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
The knowledge sources do not mention a feature called Work Mode in the ChatGPT Windows app (or elsewhere), nor do they list it as a plan‑specific capability for Free vs paid users.[Windows app usage; Windows app release notes]
They do say:
- The early Windows app release was initially for Plus, Team, Enterprise, and Edu users, with access for free users “coming soon.”[Windows app release notes]
- Current Windows app documentation focuses on things like the Companion Window, shortcuts, and deployment, but does not describe any “Work Mode.”[Windows app usage]
