OpenAI rolls out ‘Study Mode' in ChatGPT: What is it? How to use? All your questions answered…
In a post on social media platform X, President and co-co-founder Greg Brockman wrote, 'Introducing study mode in ChatGPT — step by step guidance for students rather than quick answers.'
The feature has been rolled out to logged-in users across Free, Plus, Pro, and Team plans, with ChatGPT Edu availability planned soon.
The study mode offers personalised feedback to track progress and supports knowledge retention.
"When students engage with study mode, they're met with guiding questions that calibrate responses to their objective and skill level to help them build deeper understanding. Study mode is designed to be engaging and interactive, and to help students learn something -- not just finish something," OpenAI said in a statement.
It noted that ChatGPT is becoming one of the most widely used learning tools in the world, with students turning to it to work through challenging homework problems, exam preparation, and to explore new concepts.
"But its use in education has also raised an important question: how do we ensure it is used to support real learning, and doesn't just offer solutions without helping students make sense of them? We've built study mode to help answer this question," it said.

ChatGPT is second most-used tool for learning new skills for students at IIT Bombay
ChatGPT, the popular generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot, has emerged as the second most-used tool for learning new skills among students at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay—after online platforms like Coursera. This was revealed as Insight – the institute's official student media body, released its Senior Survey 2025 report on Friday. The findings are based on responses from 282 students. Of the 272 students who answered the question, 'How did you generally study/learn new skills in the institute?', 118 cited online platforms, while 65 mentioned ChatGPT. Only 9 students said they used library books—the traditional method of learning new things in university settings. Despite AI tools becoming prevalent in university settings, ChatGPT remains underutilized in certain areas. Out of 138 respondents to the question on – in which situations have you not used ChatGPT ever – 89 said that they have not used it for resume-making. Whereas only 46 said that they have not used it for assignments and projects. As respondents of the Senior Survey are soon to enter the workforce, it is important to note that 'work-life balance' and 'a career aligned with one's skill set' have emerged as top priorities—ranking higher than financial compensation. Factors like location of posting and work culture were deemed less important. Among 269 respondents for a question on important factors to consider when choosing career – 29.4 percent ranked work-life balance highest. Separately, over 40 percent of 262 respondents said a career aligned with their skill set was most important. Contrary to the perception that IIT Bombay students often move away from core engineering, the survey shows that out of the 282 students who responded to the question on their immediate plans after graduation – 67 said they would continue in core engineering, while 66 planned to stay in technology. When asked about interest in their core branch, 135 of 277 respondents said they were and still are inclined to pursue it. However, 58 said they had lost interest, while 65 admitted they were never inclined in their field of study. Whereas 19 students said that they were not interested in their core branch before but are now keen to pursue.

China is building the future of AI, not Silicon Valley, says Alibaba Cloud founder
Reuters Wang Jian, founder of Alibaba Cloud and director at Zhejiang Lab, said China is building the future of artificial intelligence (AI), not Silicon Valley. In an interview with Bloomberg, Wang said Chinese foundational AI models like Qwen and DeepSeek are much better than OpenAI's ChatGPT, adding that China is a testbed for new technology. 'Foundational models like Qwen and DeepSeek are much better than ChatGPT. So we really need to fund creative people to build applications for them. In terms of applications, we are heavily biased toward OpenAI, because everyone sees ChatGPT as the only application that can provide security,' he said. 'The Chinese market has a very important role in establishing new technology and making sure it is mature enough, positioning the country as a testbed of every new technology to get products to market,' he added. OpenAI vs Alibaba When asked about the stiff competition in the AI space, Wang said it's no less than a marathon for new players to enter the AI race, adding that healthy competition enables fast replication of the technology.'When people get together and it is not just for competition, whether you win or not, you can have a very fast iteration of the technology because of the competition.'Commenting on Silicon Valley's progress on building AI capabilities, he said just a single organisation, or individual, cannot go far in this journey. Additionally, he said that China is a country that benefits from a stable mindset. To make his point, Wang cited the example of Hangzhou, a city in China, claiming that one out of every four or five people there is a 'CEO.' Poaching war: Meta, OpenAI Wang also addressed the big pay packets being offered in Silicon Valley to hire AI to him, the driving force for any organisation should be innovation, not patents.'What's happening in Silicon Valley is not the winning formula. We need the right talent, not expensive talent,' he said.'When you are in the early stage of innovation, I don't think a patent is a problem because the only thing you need to do is to get the right person, not really an expensive person,' he added. ET reported recently that over a dozen staff at Mira Murati's AI startup, Thinking Machines Lab (TML), have been approached or offered jobs by Meta. This talent poaching follows a previous instance reported when Meta hired four AI researchers from OpenAI. The tech giant has bagged top talent from companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and GitHub, after top-level exits and a poor reception for its latest open-source Llama 4 model. Following the trend, the Sam Altman-led OpenAI also poached four top engineers from rival firms led by Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg last month.
