OpenAI published a practical GPT-6 guide on October 2 covering assignments, model choice, longer tasks, and review. This is guidance for using an existing model family, not another model launch. Anthropic's recent Sonnet release and Gemini's learning tools provide useful context. For educators, the guide offers a way to discuss how a person defines success, updates a task when circumstances change, and checks what the assistant actually completed.
