🔒 Safe mode removed - GPT for Sheets

GPT for Sheets no longer supports the Safe mode feature for avoiding timeouts and data losses when running GPT functions. We removed the feature because:

Model response times have improved to a point where timeouts are no longer a common issue even with slower models.
The newer cache feature is better at saving costs and preventing data loss when Google Sheets reloads a spreadsheet.

🔄 Improved performance with very large workbooks - GPT for Excel

To improve performance with very large workbooks, GPT for Excel no longer automatically counts the number of GPT formulas when you open a workbook. To update the count, click the refresh icon in the GPT functions tab.
