ChatGPT just got smarter: OpenAI’s Study Mode helps students learn step-by-step


OpenAI launches ChatGPT Study Mode, transforming AI from an answer engine into a Socratic tutor that guides students through problems step-by-step rather than providing direct solutions.

OpenAI announced Study Mode for ChatGPT on Tuesday, a new feature that fundamentally changes how students interact with artificial intelligence by withholding direct answers in favor of Socratic questioning and step-by-step guidance. Maggie Wang, a Princeton computer science senior, described how the tool helped her finally understand sinusoidal positional encodings, a concept she had struggled with despite taking NLP courses and attending office hours. The timing also coincides with ongoing contract negotiations between Microsoft and OpenAI regarding access to future AI technologies, underscoring the commercial importance of maintaining competitive advantages in key markets like education.
