OpenAI Launches GPT-5 Model

OpenAI has released GPT-5, its latest AI model, boasting advancements in problem-solving and coding capabilities. GPT-5 is available to both free and paid users, unlike previous releases. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, likens interacting with GPT-5 to consulting a team of PhD-level experts. GPT-5 is designed for improved reliability and accuracy, reducing hallucinations and improving performance in writing, coding, and health-related queries.

GPT-5 introduces a unified system that intelligently selects the appropriate model based on the task's complexity. It features improvements in reasoning, code generation, and integration with platforms like Gmail and Google Calendar. Microsoft has also announced the immediate availability of GPT-5 across its platforms, including Copilot and Visual Studio Code. Developers can use GPT-5 in Visual Studio Code to write, test, and deploy code with GitHub Copilot. GPT-5's pricing is competitive, with discounts for token caching.

GPT-5 excels in coding, showing improvements in front-end generation and debugging. It also demonstrates enhanced capabilities in instruction following and tool use, enabling it to handle complex tasks and adapt to changing contexts. The model achieves state-of-the-art performance in mathematics, coding, multimodal understanding, and health. GPT-5 is rolling out gradually to ensure stability. It is integrated into Microsoft 365 Copilot, reasoning over web and work data. GPT-5's speed, reasoning power, and personalization set it apart from competitors. It introduces new chatbot personalities for customisation.
