OpenAI began rolling GPT-6 out to paid ChatGPT plans on October 7 and to Free and Go accounts the next day. A new feature called Intelligent UI lets some answers arrive as interactive charts, forms and small working tools instead of blocks of text.
Why it matters to you: Anyone with a free account now has OpenAI’s newest model, and some answers become tools you can actually use.
Try this: Ask ChatGPT to build you a small tool and see whether it answers with something interactive.
