Custom GPTs Just Changed: New Versioning and Model Controls Explained

Are your older Custom GPTs falling behind? OpenAI has released some small, hidden changes to how custom GPTs are set up. In this video, I go "hands-on" to explore the new Version History and Model Picker features. I walk through the slightly clunky transition process, showing you how to correctly update your GPT's brain to GPT-5.2 (or whichever model you prefer) and how to revert changes if something goes wrong. The Custom GPT Update Blueprint: - Identify "Updates Pending": Learn what this new notification means for your legacy GPTs created in 2024 and 2025. - Master Version History: Access the history menu via the ellipsis icon to view past edits, compare changes (highlighted by the UI), and restore a previous version. - The Model Picker Hack: Don't rely on the "Update" button alone. I e show you how to navigate the Configure tab to manually select the Recommended Model (GPT-5.2) to ensure your preview and final product are actually upgraded. - Troubleshooting Clunky UX: I explain why your GPT might still show "4.0" even after hitting update and how to fix it. Stop leaving performance on the table. It's time to audit your GPT library and restore your best work with current-gen reasoning. #ChatGPT #CustomGPT #GPT5 #AIQuickTips #ThoughtsBrewing ➡️ Level Up Your AI Skills: Ready to move past basic prompting to full model mastery?
