OpenAI Launches GPT-6 With a More Visual, Interactive ChatGPT Interface
OpenAI launches Intelligent UI with GPT-6, adding interactive charts, calculators, diagrams and maps to ChatGPT across paid and free tiers around the world.
Summary
OpenAI is rolling out Intelligent UI globally with GPT-6 on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, for Pro, Plus, Business and Enterprise customers. Free and lower-cost Go users receive it Thursday, October 8. The customizable ChatGPT interface inserts tappable buttons, task-specific calculators, interactive charts, editable graphs, diagrams, maps and other manipulable visuals into conversations, while letting users reduce their frequency.
OpenAI says Intelligent UI should make complex subjects easier to learn and improve practical help with recipes, trips and other tasks. In a brief demonstration, product manager Aarush Selvan asked ChatGPT to explore how an airplane wing generates lift, prompting diagrams explaining flight. OpenAI also demonstrated recipe visuals, a bicycle-mechanics diagram, a multi-day hiking map and a personal savings calculator.
