OpenAI has rolled out a new feature that lets ChatGPT generate interactive visual explanations for a range of scientific and mathematical concepts. Users can adjust variables within the visuals to see real‑time effects, making topics such as the Pythagorean theorem, Coulomb's law, lens equations and Ohm's law more tangible. The tool is available to all ChatGPT users, regardless of subscription level, and is aimed primarily at high‑school and college students. The launch follows the earlier Study Mode, which encouraged learners to reason through problems rather than receive direct answers, signaling OpenAI’s broader push toward educational AI tools.

Collaboration tools let teachers share chats and view usage suggestions from peers. The initiative follows earlier education‑focused products such as ChatGPT Edu and Study Mode, positioning OpenAI against competitors like Google’s Gemini discounts for students. Weiterlesen

OpenAI announced plans to improve ChatGPT safety by automatically directing sensitive conversations to more advanced reasoning models, such as GPT‑5, and by launching parental controls that let parents manage their teen’s interaction with the chatbot. The measures come as part of a broader initiative responding to recent incidents where the system failed to detect user distress. Features include age‑appropriate response rules, the ability to disable memory and chat history, and notifications when acute distress is detected. OpenAI also says it is working with mental‑health experts through its Global Physician Network and Expert Council on Well‑Being and AI. Weiterlesen
