AI News Today October 7 - ChatGPT Gets GPT-6 for Free, Anthropic Slashes AI Prices 75%, OpenAI's AI Writes 722 Math Papers

ChatGPT, used by more than a billion people a week, is about to look completely different.

OpenAI is rolling out GPT-6 to everyone, free users included, while Anthropic has cut the price of its newest AI by around 75% and an OpenAI model has produced hundreds of new mathematical results.

Here's everything you need to know today.

What Is GPT-6 Intelligent UI, and Is It Free?

ChatGPT is about to stop answering everything with a wall of text.

OpenAI is rolling out GPT-6 to every ChatGPT user, paid plans today and free accounts from tomorrow, with a feature called Intelligent UI.

Answers can now arrive as charts, maps, buttons and working tools, so you can ask for a retirement savings calculator and get one on the spot. It also starts replying while it thinks, and answers that need a web search start 44% sooner.

For anyone who finds technology hard to follow, the AI now shapes the screen around your question instead of making you learn the software.

How Much Cheaper Is Claude Haiku 5.5?

While OpenAI made its AI more visual, Anthropic made its own dramatically cheaper.

Anthropic's new Claude Haiku 5.5 costs around 75% less to run than the model it replaces, and is built for high-volume work like customer support chats and summaries.

Cheaper AI means more of it in places you already deal with, from your bank's help chat to an airline's phone line.

For investors, the timing stands out: Anthropic is cutting prices weeks before its expected stock market debut, after reportedly losing $42 billion last year.

A price war is good news for customers, and a harder question for anyone eyeing the stock.

Did OpenAI's AI Just Crack Math's Hardest Problems?

The strangest story may matter most.

OpenAI has released 722 new mathematical papers from an internal model the public cannot use yet, including work related to three of the remaining $1 million Millennium Prize Problems.

Many proofs come with computer-checkable versions, so mathematicians can verify them without taking OpenAI's word for it.

Math underpins encryption, physics and finance, so AI producing new results at this pace could speed up discoveries well beyond the classroom.

Experts are still checking the work, and OpenAI's last big claim in September sparked a fight over credit.

The AI Price War Just Started. The Winners Are Being Decided Now.

Anthropic slashed its prices 75% today and OpenAI handed its newest AI to more than a billion people, and moments like this are often when the biggest fortunes in technology quietly get made.
