OpenAI releases GPT-5 model

OpenAI has launched GPT-5, the newest iteration of its AI model, boasting enhanced capabilities and improved performance. The company touts GPT-5 as its 'smartest, fastest, most useful model yet'. It aims to deliver expert-level intelligence across various applications. GPT-5 unifies previous AI advancements, offering improvements in accuracy, speed, reasoning, and problem-solving. The model is designed to be more reliable, generate fewer inaccurate results, and exhibit better articulation in writing tasks.

GPT-5 is available to both free and paid users, with a 'Pro' subscription unlocking unlimited access. The model shows advancements in coding, mathematics, and answering health-related questions. OpenAI has also worked to reduce the rate of 'hallucinations,' where the AI generates incorrect or misleading information. GPT-5's responses are reportedly 45% less likely to contain factual errors compared to GPT-4o. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, likened GPT-5 to a 'legitimate PhD expert,' contrasting it with earlier versions.

GPT-5 is set to compete with other AI models, such as xAI's Grok, Google's Gemini, and Anthropic's Claude. The company anticipates that GPT-5 will drive industry leadership and improve decision-making across various sectors. GPT-5 is currently rolling out to Team users, with Enterprise and Education access to follow.
