ChatGPT is about to get a lot more visual, thanks to a new feature that OpenAI calls Intelligent UI. The new interface, which is being rolled out Wednesday with a new GPT-6 model, will integrate a significant amount of visuals into users’ conversations.来源 1

This new feature will be customizable. As with other aspects of ChatGPT’s personality, if users don’t want so many visuals in their responses, they’ll be able to dial them back.

OpenAI is launching a new Intelligent UI feature in ChatGPT that allows the chatbot to answer your questions with interactive visuals. The update, which is rolling out to all users alongside GPT-6, gives ChatGPT the ability to combine a text response with diagrams, charts, forms, tappable buttons, and more. In a blog post explaining the change, OpenAI says it trained GPT-6 when to generate interactive visuals over text, as well as how to format them in its response. An example shared by OpenAI shows how ChatGPT might show a diagram of a seven-speed bicycle if you ask about its design, complete with interactive buttons that highlight different parts. [Image: ChatGPT generates a diagram showing the design of a seven-speed bicycle. https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-10-07-at-2.48.45-PM.png?quality=90&strip=all] Another shows how ChatGPT can teach you to play Mahjong by generating visuals of each tile and placing them into categories that you can scroll through. You can also ask ChatGPT to generate tools for different tasks, such as a retirement savings calculator, retro game, or bill splitter. It will then generate the tool in-line with its response. OpenAI announced its first GPT-6 models last month, but now it’s bringing the Sol and Luna versions to ChatGPT. In addition to enabling Intelligent UI, OpenAI says its GPT-6 allows ChatGPT to perform better web searches and provide quicker, partial answers to users while it gathers information. The company notes that GPT-6 “showed stronger resistance to attempts to bypass its safety training” as well. [Video: ChatGPT Intelligent UI] GPT-6 with Intelligent UI is rolling out globally to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users starting today, but will expand to Go and free tiers on Thursday. While higher-tier subscribers will gain access to the mid-range GPT-6 Sol model, Go and free users will get to use the more efficient GPT-6 Luna.来源 2

The Iran war is creating “huge” arbitrage opportunities across global energy markets as disrupted trade flows stretch tanker fleets to capacity and send oil on longer journeys, according to Vitol Group, the world’s largest independent oil trader. “There’s huge arbitrage opportunities going on,” Tom Baker, managing director for Vitol in Bahrain, said at an industry forum in Fujairah on Wednesday. The disruption has also pushed the global tanker fleet to full utilisation. “When you see the shipping fleet at 100 per cent utilisation”, shipping becomes “very interesting”, Mr Baker said. Tanker rates have surged as restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz and Bab Al Mandeb strait force vessels on longer journeys and increase ship-to-ship transfers. Average spot earnings for very large crude carriers approached $642,000 a day globally in late September, according to Clarksons Research. The upheaval has also changed where Vitol sends its barrels. “It’s been fascinating to see that barrels from our Western or European refineries have found their way around to the east under these conditions,” Mr Baker said. Refining has been another source of market dislocation, although Mr Baker said Middle East capacity is now recovering rapidly from outages caused by the conflict. About two million barrels a day of refining capacity has been knocked out in Russia, while the Middle East suffered similar outages and capacity in China has also been down, he said. “We had similar [refinery outages] in the Middle East, but it’s recovering very rapidly now,” Mr Baker said. Middle East refinery runs were forecast last month to average about eight million barrels per day this year, 1.6 million bpd below 2025 levels, according to S&P Global Energy, as outages tightened supplies of petrol, diesel and jet fuel. The turmoil is also changing how Vitol assesses energy infrastructure investments, with the trader generally backing assets that can generate returns immediately over projects that take years to develop. “Today, you can buy a ship and make an immediate return on it,” Mr Baker said. A pipeline that will not be ready for another two or three years has to be assessed against the possibility of further “black swan events”. Some projects may also be driven by “national strategic reasons” rather than the returns sought by private investors, he said. “We’ve gone from being more of a trader of a third-party barrel to really seeing the need to be part of the infrastructure chain,” Mr Baker said. Vitol views the Middle East and East Africa as an increasingly connected energy market, with the Gulf’s surplus fuel supply and short shipping distances making it a natural source for countries short of products, Mr Baker said. During the crisis, Vitol helped landlocked Uganda diversify fuel imports beyond Kenya’s pipeline system, routing supplies through Tanzania’s port of Tanga. Uganda is also expected to begin exporting about 230,000 bpd of crude through its heated export pipeline to Tanga “at some point next year”, Mr Baker said. Those barrels “will easily get bought” in Europe, the Middle East or Asia.来源 1

Now you can cut Gemini out of the loop. Starting today, you can go to the new SynthID.com website to check a piece of content for an AI watermark. A major limitation of Google’s previous detector was that it only checked for Google’s version of SynthID. Even though ChatGPT images, for example, have SynthID, they wouldn’t be flagged in Google’s detector. That’s no longer a problem.来源 1
原文位置 1456–2007
Google says that its expanded version of the detector will support the distinct watermarks from all its SynthID partners, including OpenAI, Nvidia, Kakao, and (soon) Apple. So you’ll be able to go there and check a file for the involvement of all those AI systems instead of accessing their detectors individually. The website won’t provide as much information as the internal tool, which highlighted regions of the image that showed SynthID pixels. Instead, you’ll just get a message telling you whether SynthID was used to produce or edit the media.来源 1
原文位置 2009–2294
You have to log in to use the tool, but it supports Google, OpenAI, and Apple accounts. While the detector is available to anyone, the login requirement limits how much you can use it. Google says each user gets “a daily usage quota of approximately 10 image, video, and audio checks.”来源 1
