OpenAI has started rolling out GPT-6 and a new Intelligent UI feature across ChatGPT, bringing interactive visuals, charts, forms and task-specific tools directly into conversations.
The company announced the update on October 7, saying GPT-6 is being introduced to more than 1.2 billion people who use ChatGPT every week. The new model is designed to give faster answers while changing how ChatGPT presents information.
Instead of returning every response as a block of text, ChatGPT can now decide whether a question is better answered with text, visuals or an interactive interface. Users can also ask ChatGPT to create simple tools, such as calculators, bill splitters and games, inside the conversation.
OpenAI Makes ChatGPT More Interactive With Intelligent UI
One of the biggest changes in the GPT-6 rollout is Intelligent UI, a feature that allows ChatGPT to choose how information should be presented based on the user’s request.
Instead of always responding with plain text, GPT-6 can select formats that make an answer easier to understand or use. A comparison, for example, could appear in a side-by-side layout, while a complex topic could be explained through an interactive diagram. If visuals or interactive elements do not add much value, ChatGPT can continue to provide a standard text response.
Intelligent UI can add graphics, tappable buttons, forms, charts and other interactive elements directly to a conversation. For example, someone planning a road trip could receive an interactive map with different stops.
A user preparing a meal could get a cooking schedule alongside the recipe. Students could also use interactive explanations to explore difficult concepts instead of relying on long blocks of text.
OpenAI is also allowing users to ask ChatGPT to create simple tools for specific tasks. Examples include savings calculators, bill-splitting tools and games that can run directly within the chat.
The feature could make ChatGPT more useful for everyday tasks by allowing users to complete simple actions without having to leave the conversation or open another app.
GPT-6 Can Create Interactive Experiences Inside ChatGPT
OpenAI says Intelligent UI is supported by a library of native, streamable components and a compiler that processes the interface as GPT-6 generates it. This allows interactive elements to appear progressively instead of making users wait for the entire response to finish.
The model also decides how information should be arranged and whether interaction is actually useful. OpenAI says it trained GPT-6 to make decisions about content, layout, visuals and interaction.
The company acknowledged that there is still work to do on the model’s design judgment and on expanding the types of experiences it can create. The change could make ChatGPT feel less like a traditional chatbot and more like an application that builds parts of its own interface based on what a user wants to accomplish.
OpenAI Makes ChatGPT Responses Faster With GPT-6
GPT-6 also brings improvements in response speed. OpenAI says ChatGPT can begin answering while it continues to think or use tools. This allows users to start reading an answer before the full response is complete.
For questions that require web search, GPT-6 Instant starts answering 44% sooner on average than GPT-5.6 Instant, according to OpenAI’s internal evaluation. The company also says GPT-6 is better at deciding when it needs to search and at finding information that supports its answer. OpenAI compared GPT-6 Extra High with previous GPT-5.6 models in an internal evaluation of everyday agentic tasks.
According to the company, GPT-6 Extra High started responding in about the same amount of time as GPT-5.6 Medium while achieving a better overall score than GPT-5.6 Extra High. These improvements are aimed at making longer or more complicated ChatGPT tasks feel more responsive.

GPT-6 Gets New Safety Protections Against Advanced Attacks
OpenAI has also updated the safety training used for GPT-6. The company says the model is better at resisting attempts to bypass its safety safeguards, including attacks that change tactics across multiple turns. Its safety training has also been updated to address risks involving cyberattacks, biological threats and violence.
At the same time, OpenAI says GPT-6 is trained to avoid unnecessary refusals of harmless requests. The model can also use conversation history and other relevant context when assessing whether a request could create a safety risk. This is intended to help it identify risks that may not be obvious from a single prompt.
OpenAI says GPT-6 is also better at explaining its limitations, including situations where it does not have the information or tools needed to answer a question.
GPT-6 Sol and Luna Reach More ChatGPT Users
The GPT-6 rollout covers both paid and free ChatGPT plans, although different plans receive different versions of the model. ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise users receive GPT-6 Sol in the Chat experience. Free and Go users receive GPT-6 Luna. Both models are tuned for everyday conversations and support Intelligent UI.
The global rollout began with Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise users on October 7. Free and Go users were scheduled to receive access starting October 8. Enterprise users may see different availability depending on their workplace administrator’s settings.
The update applies specifically to the Chat experience. OpenAI said the models powering Work and Codex are not changing as part of this release.
Intelligent UI Changes How Users Interact With ChatGPT
Intelligent UI represents a change in how ChatGPT delivers information. For years, chatbots have mainly relied on a question-and-answer format. Users type a prompt, and the AI responds with text, even when a chart, calculator or visual explanation might be more useful.
OpenAI is now allowing ChatGPT to choose a more suitable format automatically. That could make ChatGPT more useful for planning, education, comparisons and everyday calculations. A user could ask for help comparing products, planning a trip or understanding a technical concept and receive an interface built around that specific task.
The feature also reduces the need to manually explain how an answer should be formatted. Instead, GPT-6 can decide whether the task calls for text, visuals or interactive elements.
OpenAI says its longer-term goal is to allow people to describe what they want to accomplish and then work with an interface created around that goal.

GPT-6 Turns ChatGPT Into More Than a Text-Based Assistant
The GPT-6 rollout marks a broader shift in OpenAI’s approach to ChatGPT. The company is no longer focusing only on producing better text responses. It is also trying to make ChatGPT capable of creating the interface needed to complete a task.
Intelligent UI is still developing, and not every question will produce an interactive experience. OpenAI says the system can choose a simple text response when that is the most useful option.
For users, however, the update could make ChatGPT more practical for tasks that traditionally required separate apps, calculators, maps or visual tools.
With GPT-6 now rolling out across ChatGPT plans, OpenAI is positioning the chatbot as an interface that can adapt to the user’s task rather than making users adapt to a fixed interface.
