OpenAI Rolls Out GPT-6 With Interactive Visual Answers
OpenAI is bringing GPT-6 to people using ChatGPT.
The new version can answer with words, pictures, charts and things people can tap or change.
It can also make small tools, like calculators and games, during a conversation.
OpenAI says answers can begin appearing while the model is still working.
It also says some answers that need web searches begin sooner than before.
Paid plans use GPT-6 Sol, while Free and Go plans use GPT-6 Luna.
OpenAI says it updated safety protections, but the articles note that the company’s claims have not been independently checked.
The rollout is taking place in stages.
OpenAI has begun a global GPT-6 rollout in ChatGPT, following its initial release to paid users.
Intelligent UI can combine text with graphics, charts, forms, buttons and interactive tools such as calculators and games.
Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise users receive GPT-6 Sol; Free and Go users receive GPT-6 Luna, with rollout timing described as a day later or Thursday, October 8.
OpenAI says GPT-6 can respond progressively while reasoning and that web-search responses start 44% sooner on average than with GPT-5.6 Instant.
OpenAI reports updated safety protections; its performance and safety claims have not been independently verified in the articles.
