OpenAI Rolls Out GPT-6 to 1.2B Users with Dynamic Intelligent UI
OpenAI has expanded its GPT-6 model from paid tiers to all 1.2 billion weekly ChatGPT users, introducing a groundbreaking 'Intelligent UI' capability. This feature enables the model to dynamically generate interactive responses—including charts, forms, and buttons—tailored to specific user intents rather than static text. It signifies a paradigm shift where software adapts to users in real-time, significantly enhancing task resolution and visual comprehension.

Last month we introduced the first GPT‑6 models for paid customers and today we're bringing that next generation of intelligence to more people with a new GPT‑6 model built for more than 1.2 billion people who use ChatGPT each week.
GPT‑6 in ChatGPT introduces Intelligent UI, a new capability that allows ChatGPT to answer quickly with fully interactive user interfaces that make everyday answers more visual, make learning complex topics easier and that can quickly create a tool to solve a task right in the moment.
Introducing Intelligent UI
We’ve trained GPT‑6 to compose responses using text, visuals and interactive elements, choosing how they fit together based on your question. With Intelligent UI, responses can include graphics, tappable buttons, forms, charts, and interactive experiences you can use directly in your conversation.
The format depends on what you’re asking. A comparison might work best side by side. An explanation might be easier to understand through an interactive diagram. And when a simple text answer is the most useful response, ChatGPT can give you that.
More visual responses to everyday questions
ChatGPT can make a plan easier to follow by showing how it fits together. The timing for a Sunday roast can sit alongside the recipe, or the stops on a road trip can appear on a map, with notes on what’s worth a detour.

You said: Give me a plan for a sunday lamb roast, I'm having friends over still figuring out numbers tbh
ChatGPT said:
Absolutely. Since the headcount is still moving, I’d build the meal soonly the lamb really needs scaling. Most of the sides can comfortably stretch for an extra couple of people.
Sunday roast menu
Main: Garlic, rosemary & Dijon roast leg of lamb Sides: Crispy roast potatoes + roasted carrots, a big green salad, and peas with butter & mint Sauce: Proper lamb gravy plus a quick mint sauce Dessert: Apple crumble with vanilla ice cream — easy to make ahead and very forgiving
For drinks, a medium/full-bodied red such as Rioja, Syrah or Cabernet works nicely.
How much lamb?
A bone-in leg is my pick for having friends over: festive, relatively forgiving, and easy to carve.
| Guests | Bone-in lamb | Potatoes |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 3–4 lb | 2 lb |
| 6 | 4–5 lb | 3 lb |
| 8 | 5–6 lb | 4 lb |
| 10 | 6–7½ lb | 5 lb |
If you get beyond about 8 people, I'd seriously considertwo smaller legs rather than one enormous one. They're easier to cook evenly, and you can leave one slightly pinker than the other.
The lamb
The night before, season it generously with salt and rub it witholive oil, Dijon, lots of garlic, chopped rosemary, black pepper and lemon zest. Refrigerate overnight.
On Sunday, take it out roughly an hour before roasting. Roast at425°F for about 20 minutes, then reduce to350°F until the center reaches roughly125–130°F for medium-rare or135°F for medium. A thermometer is much more reliable than calculating minutes per pound.
Rest it 30–40 minutes, loosely covered. That long rest is actually useful: it gives you a completely free oven for crisping the potatoes and finishing the vegetables.
The potatoes are important
Use Yukon Golds or russets. Peel and cut them into large chunks, parboil for about 8–10 minutes, drain, then shake them around in the pot to rough up the edges.
Roast them in hot olive oil or duck fat with salt, rosemary and whole garlic cloves. You want them deeply golden and aggressively crispy rather than merely cooked.
A low-stress Sunday schedule
Assuming you're eating at 6 pm, I'd run the day like this:
- Morning: Make the crumble, mint sauce and salad dressing. Prep carrots. Peel/cut potatoes and leave them submerged in cold water.
- 3:00: Lamb out of refrigerator.
- 3:45-ish: Lamb into oven. Exact timing depends on its size, so use the thermometer.
- 4:30: Parboil potatoes and rough them up.
- ~5:00: Lamb comes out to rest. Turn oven up to about 425°F and get potatoes roasting.
- 5:15: Carrots into oven.
- 5:30: Make gravy from the lamb drippings. Cook peas. Toss salad at the very last minute.
- 5:40: Carve lamb.
- 6:00: Eat.
- After dinner: Put the already-made crumble back into the warm oven for 15–20 minutes and serve with ice cream.
The big advantage is thatalmost nothing needs attention while your friends are arriving.
If you're currently somewhere between, say,6 and 10 people, I'd shop for 8 and keep the flexible ingredients generous. Roast-lamb leftovers are excellent, so being slightly over is much better than discovering on Sunday that you're short.
If you want, I can:
- Help me adjust the lamb roast plan for 5 guests
- Add vegetarian side dish options for the lamb roast menu
- Advise on making the lamb roast plan gluten-free

Learn complex topics more easily
Visual and interactive explanations let you explore how something works, change an input to see what happens, or work through a problem step by step.
Create interactive experiences just by asking
You can also ask ChatGPT to create a tool for the task at hand, such as a calculator to explore how savings could grow, a bill splitter for dinner with friends, or a game you can play in the conversation.
How Intelligent UI works
With Intelligent UI, we gave GPT‑6 the freedom to create the most useful interface for each question, while keeping the experience fast and familiar across web and mobile.
We built a library of native, streamable components, along with a compiler that processes the interface as the model generates it. The library gives each response a familiar design foundation while leaving the model room to decide how the pieces fit together. The compiler allows the interface to appear progressively as the model generates it, without waiting for the entire response to be complete.
We expanded our training methods to help the model make thoughtful decisions about content, layout, visuals, and interaction. This included evaluating the interfaces it creates for clarity, usefulness, and completeness. GPT‑6 learned to use the component library and make good design decisions, including how to organize information clearly, when to use interactivity, and when a simple text response is enough.
There's still work ahead to improve the model's design judgment and expand what it can create, but Intelligent UI marks a significant shift in how people interact with ChatGPT. Instead of fitting every question into the same conversational format, ChatGPT can combine UI, data, and actions to create entirely new ways for people to explore, understand, and interact with information.
Frontier Intelligence – delivered more quickly
With GPT‑6, ChatGPT can give you an initial response, then think further and follow up with more detail.

GPT‑6 Instant
With the introduction of reasoning models, users could get help with much harder problems, but had to wait for the model to finish thinking before getting an answer. Now, ChatGPT can interleave thinking with answering. We trained it to take into account the user’s waiting time and progressively compose an answer using its knowledge and findings up to that point. It learned to build answers across multiple partial responses, each adding useful information without unnecessary filler, while keeping the full answer as cohesive and factual as one written all at once.
In an internal evaluation of high-value, everyday agentic tasks, GPT‑6 Extra High is able to begin answering in the same amount of time as GPT‑5.6 Medium while achieving a better overall score than GPT‑5.6 Extra High.
For questions that need web search, GPT‑6 Instant starts answering 44% sooner, on average, than GPT‑5.6 Instant.
GPT‑6 also improves the quality of answers that require web search. It makes better decisions about when to look something up and more reliably finds information that supports its answer. In an internal evaluation of difficult problems, GPT‑6 correctly addressed the key aspect of the user’s question more often than GPT‑5.6.
Deploying GPT‑6 safely
As we bring more intelligent AI to more people, we work to improve how it recognizes real-world risks, how honestly it responds, and how well it respects the limits that people set. GPT‑6 makes progress in each of these areas, building on several of Astra’s safety advances to better resist attempts to bypass its safety training, follow safeguards, and be clearer about what it can and can’t do relative to GPT‑5.6 Sol. We updated its safety training based on lessons from real-world use to strengthen protections against high-risk misuse involving cyberattacks, biological threats, and violence. In adversarial testing, GPT‑6 showed stronger resistance to attempts to bypass its safety training, particularly attacks that adapt across multiple turns. GPT‑6 is also trained to respond safely in higher-risk scenarios while avoiding unnecessary refusals of harmless requests. This includes using conversation history and relevant context to recognize risks that may not be apparent from a single prompt.
We ran alignment evaluations throughout training, assessing honesty and responses to safety restrictions. GPT‑6 is better at recognizing and communicating the limits of its own capabilities, including when it lacks the information or tools needed to answer. More detail on the results and our review is available in the system card.
Availability
GPT‑6 with Intelligent UI starts rolling out globally to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise tiers today in the Chat tab. Starting tomorrow, the rollout expands to Free and Go tiers. Enterprise availability depends on workplace admin settings.
GPT‑6 in ChatGPT is powered by GPT‑6 Sol for Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers, and GPT‑6 Luna for Free and Go tiers. Both are tuned for everyday conversation.
This update applies to the Chat experience in ChatGPT. The models powering Work and Codex are not changing as part of this release.
What comes next
Our mission is to deliver the benefits of artificial general intelligence safely to all of humanity. GPT‑6 brings our latest advances in intelligence to the more than 1.2 billion people who use ChatGPT every week.
Intelligent UI is a step toward a ChatGPT that can shape an interface around what you’re trying to do.
Over time, we want ChatGPT to create more of the interfaces people need for everyday tasks. You should be able to describe what you want to accomplish and work with an experience built around it.
For decades, people have had to learn how to use software, navigating fixed interfaces designed around particular tasks. We believe the future will be different. Instead of people adapting to software, software will adapt to people.
