Legal Tech Startup Harvey Reaches $11 Billion Valuation

A New Funding Milestone

Harvey, one of the most notable innovations in the legal technology sector, has secured a $200 million investment in its latest funding round. This injection of capital, co-led by returning investors Singapore’s GIC and Sequoia, comes as the company continues to dominate headlines with its rapid ascent in the highly competitive tech arena.

Robust Backing From Leading Investors

Augmenting the impressive feat, existing stakeholders, including Andreessen Horowitz, Coatue, Conviction Partners, Elad Gil, Evantic, and Kleiner Perkins, have also contributed to this round. With over $1 billion raised to date, Harvey’s valuation has surged more than 3.5 times in just a year, reflecting its explosive market influence.

Rapid Valuation Growth And Industry Impact

Previously valued at $8 billion following a round led by Andreessen Horowitz in December, Harvey’s evolution has been nothing short of meteoric. The company was earlier valued at $5 billion in a funding round steered by Kleiner Perkins and Coatue in June, and at $3 billion during a Sequoia-led raise in February 2025. Sequoia has demonstrated exceptional confidence by co-leading three rounds since Harvey’s Series A, an endorsement that partner Pat Grady characterized as an extraordinary show of faith.

The Future Of Legal Technology

Founder and CEO Winston Weinberg recently described the journey to success as exhilarating, marking a transformative era for legal technology startups. As Harvey continues to scale its operations across law firms and enterprises, its trajectory epitomizes the innovative spirit redefining the legal landscape.

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.
