GPT-6 is coming to all tiers of ChatGPT.

The FCC proposed a new mid-band spectrum auction, and OpenAI just posted hundreds more results on major math problems.

It's Thursday, October 8th, and here's a quick look at some of the news happening in the sphere of tech this morning from Engadget.

OpenAI is rolling out GPT-6 to ChatGPT, and it will come with a capability called Intelligent UI that the company says allows it to return responses quickly with fully interactive user interfaces. The company trained GPT-6 to be better at everyday conversations and to compose more visual responses within the chatbot itself. Based on what you're asking, it could include graphics, tappable buttons, forms, charts, and other interactive experiences in its replies. If you ask it to help you plan for a dinner you're hosting, for instance, ChatGPT's response could include an interactive table with the amount of ingredients you have to buy based on the number of people you say are coming. It could also include checklists and follow-up forms you can answer to get more detailed help. But if pure text makes more sense, the model can decide not to add any visuals. To shorten wait times for complex tasks, OpenAI gave the model the capability to answer while it's still thinking. Unlike other reasoning models that decide its output first. The company trained the model to compose responses across multiple messages, with each one adding useful information so that the final output is cohesive. OpenAI says the interactive responses could help you understand complex topics more easily with visual aids. And you can use the feature to create specialized tools for your needs, such as a calculator to help you decide on investments, or on how to split a bill. Plus, you can also use it to recreate retro games within ChatGPT, like Snake. GPT-6 with Intelligent UI has already started rolling out to all ChatGPT Plus Pro business and enterprise users around the world. It is powered by GPT-6 sole if you're paying for those subscription tiers. If you have a free or a low-cost Go account, you'll get access to the new model sometime this week. It will be powered by GPT-6 Luna, which is not as capable as sole in those tiers.

The US Federal Communications Commission laid out a trio of proposals for several rule changes around wireless connectivity. The plans will be put to a vote later this month and largely center on direct-to-device communications. First, the agency suggested overhauling its rules for direct-to-device or D2D.

The stated goal is to promote more flexible terrestrial, satellite and hybrid business arrangements. Related, the second proposal is to auction 25 MHz of mid-band spectrum. Bids would be targeting use cases, such as flexible use terrestrial networks, innovative direct-to-device operations, or a hybrid of both. Now, this could prove enticing to companies like Amazon, which are hoping to join the growing field of satellite-based cellular service. One such company is SpaceX, which already has spectrum licenses it bought from EchoStar.

Well, this week, the FCC granted approval to SpaceX for a system of 15,000 satellites to operate at 330 kilometers. This push into D2D systems from SpaceX is a separate affair than the company's attempts to launch a network of orbital data centers aimed to provide compute power for artificial intelligence activity, and would add to its existing network of more than 11,000 Starlink satellites. Suffice to say, SpaceX has a whole lot of gear overhead. The final FCC proposal recommends allowing drones to operate on the 800 MHz cellular band. Those devices are currently prohibited from using that frequency, and if passed, the change would open up about 50 MHz for UAVs to use.
