Introduction

Robinhood has been selected by the U.S. Treasury Department, alongside BNY Mellon, to support tax-deferred custodial investment accounts for children, known as Trump Accounts. The program is set to launch in summer 2026 and includes a $1,000 government contribution for children born between 2025 and 2028.

Advancing Financial Inclusion

Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood, said on CNBC that the initiative is designed to expand access to investing at an early age. He said the program could introduce millions of new users to financial markets through government-backed accounts.

Robinhood said the accounts will initially operate without trading commissions. The company added that low-cost ETF management fees could be introduced later under a subcontracting agreement with BNY Mellon.

A Strategic Government Partnership

The project marks Robinhood’s first large-scale collaboration with a U.S. government agency. Under the agreement, the company will act as broker and trustee, while also developing the app interface and handling customer support. Tenev said Robinhood aims to deliver a product aligned with government requirements while maintaining a simplified user experience.

Market Implications And Broader Impact

More than 4 million children had been registered for Trump Accounts as of March 31, according to program data. Over 1 million are eligible for initial government contributions under the pilot phase. Participation also includes JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, SoFi, BlackRock, and Charles Schwab. Robinhood shares rose following the announcement.

Looking Ahead

Financial institutions are monitoring the rollout as the Treasury expands its approach to long-term savings programs. Robinhood said the initiative aligns with its focus on increasing access to financial tools for new investors.

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.
