GPT-6 Pro in ChatGPT can now split one task between several agents working at once

GPT-6 Pro in ChatGPT can now hand different parts of one task to several agents at the same time. OpenAI says you can watch their progress in the conversation and open each finished task to see what that agent did.

The update is rolling out to eligible Pro subscribers in the chat tab. OpenAI also promises faster responses and better use of plugins and tools.

OpenAI has not said how many agents run or how much faster it is

OpenAI gives no number of agents, no speed figures and no examples of tasks that benefit. It also has not said whether parallel agents use up Pro allowances any faster.

What changes for the user is the wait. Instead of one long pause before a single answer, the conversation shows each agent's work as it happens. Finished pieces can be opened one by one, so you can check one part while the others are still running. Research or planning jobs that split into separate parts look like the natural fit, though OpenAI names none.

Pro subscribers get it first, and managed workspaces depend on their settings

The rollout covers eligible Pro users in ChatGPT. In business and other managed workspaces, availability depends on workspace settings and rollout eligibility, so admins may see it later.

Pro users were left out of ChatGPT's last big answer upgrade. Pro reasoning does not support the Intelligent UI answers that build calculators and games into replies. Parallel agents give GPT-6 Pro a feature of its own, though OpenAI has not said which model the agents run on.
