GPT-6 Arrives with Intelligent UI for More Visual Answers
OpenAI is making ChatGPT more visual with the launch of GPT-6 and a new Intelligent UI that can turn answers into interactive diagrams, charts, calculators, and other visual elements.
Details:
GPT‑6 in ChatGPT introduces Intelligent UI, a new feature that will let ChatGPT answer questions with "fully interactive user interfaces." OpenAI says everyday answers will be more visual, and the feature will make it easier for users to understand complex topics.
The new interface is also intended to make ChatGPT more useful for tasks such as planning trips, learning new subjects, and working through practical problems where text alone may not be enough.
OpenAI demonstrated the feature with examples including airplane lift diagrams, bicycle mechanics, recipes, hiking maps, and personal savings calculators.
Users will be able to control how visual their ChatGPT experience is, allowing those who prefer traditional text responses to reduce the number of visual elements.
GPT-6 with Intelligent UI began rolling out globally yesterday to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, and it expands to Free and Go users today.

Anthropic Launches Claude Haiku 5.5
Anthropic has launched Claude Haiku 5.5, the third model in its Claude 5.5 family expanding its lineup as the company prepares for a potential IPO.
Details:
Haiku 5.5 is designed for fast, routine AI tasks such as classification, summarization, and data extraction, as well as live support, voice agents, and in-app assistants.
The model costs 75% less than Haiku 4.5, with pricing starting at $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens for prompts under 100,000 tokens.
For prompts above 100,000 tokens, pricing increases to $0.50 per million input tokens and $2.50 per million output tokens.
Anthropic said Haiku 5.5 is its first Haiku model with built-in safeguards for a limited set of high-risk cybersecurity requests, while most everyday use cases remain unaffected.
Claude Haiku 5.5 joins the other Claude 5.5 models released over the past month, giving Anthropic a broader lineup across different workloads and price points.
AI Tutorial
Create and play custom games with Google's Playground
Go to playground.google and sign in with your Google Account.
It starts with a chat interface that lets you "direct the game just by typing what you want to build."
You can choose between a 2D or 3D game and specify whether it's single-player or multiplayer. Google also offers starter prompts that you can remix and a guided development experience.
Check the preview. If you're happy with the game, click "Build Game." If not, keep asking for changes until you're satisfied. You can adjust the physics, change the rules, customize the characters, or redesign the environment.
Once your game is ready, you can keep it private, share it via link, or publish it to the Playground Explore gallery for everyone.
Notes:
U.S. users (18+) can already play games on the platform, but access to the creation tool is rolling out gradually, so you might not have it yet.
It is free to use, but Google One AI subscribers get early access to the creation tool and a higher weekly token limit.
Google also announced a Unity Spark integration for "robust, professional-level mechanics, high-fidelity 3D capabilities, and the flexibility of the Unity runtime." A closed beta is coming later this year.
Games support in-game leaderboards and multiplayer in select genres. Players can also rate games.
