OpenAI began rolling out GPT-6 with Intelligent UI in ChatGPT on 7 October. Answers can now include controls and tools that readers use inside the conversation, rather than only text to read. Paid tiers went first; the global rollout starts expanding to Free and Go on 8 October.

An answer you can adjust

OpenAI’s announcement shows how a reply can become an interactive diagram or a small calculator. The model chooses how to combine text, visuals and controls, and can still answer in plain text. Its interface appears progressively as the response is generated.

In a short pre-launch hands-on, WIRED’s Reece Rogers created a tappable slug-anatomy diagram, an apartment-affordability calculator with sliders and an airline-seat explorer. Those examples establish working interactions in his test, rather than independently validating every fact inside the resulting tools.

The plan and reasoning option both matter

The release notes distinguish the ChatGPT subscription from the reasoning option called Pro. Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise plans use Sol for this Chat update; Free and Go use Luna. Intelligent UI works from Instant through Extra High reasoning. Selecting the Pro reasoning option continues to use Astra, which does not support Intelligent UI.

Enterprise access depends on administrator settings. OpenAI describes the rollout as global, with no separate Europe-first timetable. Work and Codex models are unchanged by this release.

Useful interaction still needs useful information

For someone explaining a product or comparing options, the change is the ability to let a reader adjust an answer. OpenAI acknowledges that its design judgment still needs improvement. The next question is how reliably generated controls, calculations and source material hold together beyond the launch demonstrations.
