By Rotation Partners With Uber to Accelerate Fashion Rental Delivery

London – By Rotation, one of the U.K.’s premier peer-to-peer fashion rental platforms, has officially announced a strategic partnership with ride-sharing giant Uber. This transformative collaboration is set to redefine the logistics of fashion rentals by ensuring rapid, same-day delivery combined with a 10% discount offer until May 31.

Innovative Logistics Tailored to Consumer Needs

Under the new arrangement, U.K. users of By Rotation can rent high-value outfits—including bulky ski gear—and have them delivered in under 60 minutes via Uber. By addressing the logistical challenges often associated with the transportation of sizable equipment, this venture directly meets the demands of a segment where 30% of ski gear renters require same-day pick-up.

Consumer-Centric Innovation

Eshita Kabra-Davies, founder and CEO of By Rotation, noted in her interview with TechCrunch that the partnership is a direct response to user feedback. “Our community loves sustainable fashion, but they also expect the speed and convenience of e-commerce,” Kabra-Davies explained. The initiative is designed to eliminate the final friction point in the rental process, effectively easing the traditional ‘panic purchase’ scenario when urgent outfit needs arise.

Championing Sustainable Fashion

This collaboration marks an important step in transitioning from fast fashion to a more sustainable, circular economy. By offering rapid delivery of premium rentals, the alliance empowers consumers to opt for quality and longevity over disposable garments. The shift exemplifies how strategic partnerships can drive both environmental sustainability and enhanced consumer convenience.

Global Vision and Expansion

Since its inception in 2019, By Rotation has scaled its operations to become a global force in the rental market, boasting more than one million users and luxury inventory valued at over $100 million. Highlighting its innovative approach, the platform has even showcased success stories where users have leveraged wardrobe earnings for significant personal milestones. With recent expansions into markets such as New York and ambitions to break into the UAE, Kabra-Davies asserts, “Our ambition, like Uber’s, is global. We want to make the ‘rotating wardrobe’ the default mode of consumption everywhere.”

This strategic alliance between By Rotation and Uber not only alleviates logistic challenges but also charts a forward-thinking roadmap for sustainable consumption in the fashion industry.

OpenAI Brings Unlimited Text Chats To Free ChatGPT Users

Unlimited Text Conversations Roll Out

OpenAI is removing limits on text-based conversations for all ChatGPT users, following the platform’s recent milestone of surpassing one billion weekly users.

The update introduces GPT-5.6 Luna as the default model for Free and Go users, replacing GPT-5.5.

New “Think” Button For More Complex Questions

Alongside unlimited text chats, Free and Go users will gain access to a new “Think” button, allowing them to use additional reasoning power for more complex queries.

OpenAI noted that separate usage limits will continue to apply to file uploads, image generation, voice features and other multimodal tools.

Faster Responses For Paid Subscribers

The update also brings improvements for ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers. They will receive access to GPT-5.6 Sol, an upgraded model designed for everyday tasks such as web research, planning, writing, decision-making and answering questions. According to OpenAI, the model delivers shorter, more robust responses.

The company noted that this version is separate from the GPT-5.6 Sol model used in Codex and Work, which remains unchanged. Plus and Pro subscribers will also receive a new thinking slider, allowing them to adjust how much reasoning the model applies before generating an answer, depending on the complexity of the task.

OpenAI Reports Fewer Errors

According to OpenAI’s internal testing, GPT-5.6 Luna produces 62% fewer factual errors than GPT-5.5 Instant, while GPT-5.6 Sol reduces factual errors by 68%.

The updated GPT-5.6 Sol model is available to Plus and Pro users starting today. The remaining features for Free and Go users will roll out throughout the week, with unlimited text chats and the new Think button becoming available next week.
