OpenAI and Anthropic are shifting their flagship AI chatbots from text-only interfaces to interactive visual learning tools. ChatGPT now offers dynamic explanations for over 70 math and science concepts with adjustable variables, while Claude generates custom charts and diagrams inline within conversations.

GitHub has removed premium AI models including GPT-5.4, Claude Opus, and Claude Sonnet from its free Copilot Student plan effective March 12, 2026. The change leaves students with access only to lower-cost models: Claude 4.5 Haiku, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and GPT-5.3 Codex. GitHub's decision triggered 2,874 downvotes versus 21 upvotes on the announcement, with students arguing they need premium models to learn industry-standard tools.

OpenAI has added interactive visual explanations to ChatGPT, enabling students to explore mathematical formulas, variables, and scientific concepts in real time. The feature allows users to manipulate and test variables dynamically rather than relying on static text descriptions.

OpenAI has integrated interactive visualizations into ChatGPT for mathematics and physics explanations. Users can now modify variables and observe real-time graph updates across more than 70 available concepts.

Google is launching a free Gemini AI training program aimed at all 6 million U.S. educators. The move targets early adoption in the education sector before competitors establish similar programs.
