At a glance
- Intelligent UI combines text with interactive elements inside ChatGPT.
- The rollout began October 7 for paid plans and expanded to Free and Go the following day.
- The announcement concerns ChatGPT’s Chat experience; Work and Codex models were unchanged.
OpenAI began rolling out GPT-6 with a new interactive response system in ChatGPT on October 7, allowing the assistant to present diagrams, charts, forms and buttons alongside written answers. The announcement describes a change in how the chatbot delivers information as well as a wider release of its next generation of models. [1]
What changes for users
The system, called Intelligent UI, lets ChatGPT select a format suited to the question. OpenAI says a comparison can appear side by side, while an explanation can use a diagram with controls. Straightforward questions can still receive a conventional written response. The company also says users can request tools such as calculators and games directly within a conversation. [1]
The Verge’s coverage illustrates the difference with a bicycle diagram whose controls highlight individual parts and a Mahjong explanation that organizes tiles visually. It also describes inline tools for retirement savings and dividing a bill. These examples show that the update goes beyond adding pictures: the response itself can contain controls a reader can use.

Availability and scope
OpenAI said the global rollout began with Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise on October 7, with Free and Go following on October 8. Enterprise access remains subject to administrator settings. Paid Chat plans use GPT-6 Sol, while Free and Go use GPT-6 Luna. The announcement explicitly says the models behind Work and Codex did not change as part of this release. [1] [3]
What the announcement establishes
The reported development is a product rollout, rather than evidence that every account received every feature at the same moment. The Verge’s report and OpenAI’s announcement describe the same staged release. Neither establishes that a particular user has received access, so account-specific availability should not be inferred from the announcement alone. [1] [2]
