ChatGPT is about to look and behave differently for daily users.

OpenAI is bringing a new GPT-6 model to its chatbot, and with it comes a feature that lets answers show up as interactive screens instead of plain text.

OpenAI Brings GPT-6 to the ChatGPT Platform

OpenAI announced that GPT-6 is rolling out globally in ChatGPT, extending a model family that first reached paid customers last month. The company says this new model is built for the more than 1.2 billion people who use ChatGPT each week. The goal is to bring its latest intelligence to a much wider audience than before. Free users are included, which is a shift from last month, when the first GPT-6 models were limited to paying customers.

The update also changes how fast answers arrive. OpenAI trained the model to start answering while it keeps thinking, so users do not have to wait for the full reasoning process to finish. The model builds a response across several partial replies, each adding useful information without filler, while the final answer stays as cohesive as one written all at once.

OpenAI shared a few internal results. In a test of everyday agentic tasks, GPT-6 Extra High began answering in the same time as GPT-5.6 Medium, yet scored better overall than GPT-5.6 Extra High. For questions that need web search, GPT-6 Instant starts answering 44 percent sooner on average than GPT-5.6 Instant. The company also says the model makes better choices about when to look something up and finds supporting information more reliably.

On safety, OpenAI says GPT-6 builds on advances from its Astra model. It is more resistant to attempts to bypass its safety training, especially attacks that adapt across several turns. It also uses conversation history to spot risks that a single prompt might hide, while avoiding unnecessary refusals of harmless requests. A full system card is available for readers who want the details.

GPT-6 Arrives Alongside Intelligent UI, Interactive Features

The biggest change for users is Intelligent UI. OpenAI trained GPT-6 to build a response from text, visuals, and interactive pieces, then choose how they fit together based on the question. A reply can include graphics, tappable buttons, forms, and charts. A comparison might appear side by side, while a concept might come with an interactive diagram. When plain text is the best answer, ChatGPT can still simply write it out.

OpenAI gave several examples. A Sunday roast plan can show cooking times beside the recipe. A road trip can appear on a map with notes about stops worth a detour. For learning, ChatGPT can walk through topics like the central limit theorem, GDP, drone photography, or the Monty Hall problem, letting users change an input and see what happens.

Behind the scenes, OpenAI built a library of native, streamable components and a compiler that processes the interface as the model writes it. That lets the screen appear piece by piece, without waiting for the whole response. OpenAI says the library gives each reply a familiar design foundation, while the model decides how the pieces fit together, and the experience stays fast and familiar across web and mobile.

OpenAI also trained the model to judge its own interfaces for clarity, usefulness, and completeness. The company admits there is still work ahead to improve the model’s design judgment and widen what it can create.

The interactive features go a step further. Users can ask ChatGPT to make a small tool for the task in front of them. OpenAI named a savings calculator, a bill splitter for dinner with friends, and even a game that can be played inside the conversation. In its closing note, OpenAI wrote, “Instead of people adapting to software, software will adapt to people.”

Specific GPT-6 Models to Different ChatGPT Tiers

OpenAI is splitting the rollout by plan. GPT-6 with Intelligent UI starts reaching ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users in the Chat tab first. The Free and Go tiers follow a day later. For Enterprise, availability depends on workplace admin settings.

Two different models power the experience. Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users get GPT-6 Sol, while Free and Go users get GPT-6 Luna. OpenAI says both are tuned for everyday conversation. The change applies only to the Chat experience, so the models behind Work and Codex are not changing with this release.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GPT-6 Model?

GPT-6 is OpenAI’s newest family of AI models. At the top sits GPT-6 Astra, which OpenAI has described as its most powerful model. Sol and Luna are smaller, more affordable models trained with methods similar to Astra’s, meant to carry some of its strengths in areas like professional work, factuality, coding, and alignment. The version arriving in ChatGPT adds Intelligent UI and the faster, answer while thinking behavior described above.

What is the Difference Between GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna?

Sol and Luna are two tiers of the same family. Sol balances performance and cost, and sits above Luna in capability while remaining cheaper than Astra. Luna favors affordability over raw power. In ChatGPT, the split follows the subscription plan. Sol serves Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, and Luna serves Free and Go users. Coverage of the Sol and Luna launch noted that both models sit only marginally above their GPT-5.6 predecessors in capability.

How to Use the Interactive Features on ChatGPT?

The features live in the Chat tab, so users first need access to GPT-6, which is rolling out by plan as described above. OpenAI’s announcement does not mention a separate switch or setting. Instead, users simply ask in plain language. Requests like a calculator to explore how savings could grow, a bill splitter, or a game to play in the conversation are the examples OpenAI gives. ChatGPT decides whether a visual or interactive answer fits the question, and falls back to text when that is the clearer response. Enterprise users should check with their workplace admins first, since access on those accounts depends on admin settings, and Free and Go users get the update a day after paid plans.
