OpenAI debuts GPT-5, paving the way for an even smarter ChatGPT

OpenAI has announced the debut of GPT-5, the next-generation foundational model for ChatGPT. The new model will be available in two versions: a "pro" model accessible only to paid subscribers and a basic GPT-5 version available to everyone, including those on ChatGPT's free plan. The pro version will offer more usage. GPT-5 boasts significant improvements, including reduced hallucinations, better instruction following, and minimized sycophancy. It has also leveled up in three of ChatGPT's most common uses: writing, coding, and health. In coding, GPT-5 can now create entire websites and games with a single prompt, surpassing previous levels of expertise. Interestingly, OpenAI will not explicitly reveal which model ChatGPT is using. Instead, a "real-time router" will assign the appropriate model based on the user's query, with a more complex model used for queries that require deeper thinking. A "mini" version will also be available for users who exceed usage rates. Overall, the debut of GPT-5 represents a significant leap in AI intelligence, with the potential to further enhance ChatGPT's capabilities across various domains.
