GPT-5 is here: everything you need to know about OpenAI's new artificial intelligence model in ChatGPT
Since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022and million people use ChatGPT on a daily basis. With GPT-5OpenAI announces a artificial intelligence model advanced range - smarter, more usefuland more efficient for ChatGPT users as for developers. On the menu: lesshallucinationbetter more answers reliable, and a model that adapts to the request to provide deeper reasoning when needed. GPT-5 is here - simple, jargon-free deciphering.
GPT: what is it? And what is a model in AI
- GPT means Generative Pre-trained Transformer.
Generative = it generates text (or code, etc.). Pre-trained = he was pre-trained on many texts before being refined. Transform = it's the family of algorithms (architecture) that allows him to understanding the context and produce the most probable sequence of a text. - A language model is a program that predicts the next word (or the next token) based on everything he's already read. With practice, he learns language structurefacts, styles... The result is a model able to answer, summarize, translate, code... in short, an assistant generative versatile.
In plain English: GPT is "family" and GPT-5 is the new version of this family, a language model more advanced than their predecessors.
GPT-5 is here! In ChatGPT from OpenAI : all users have access
OpenAI announced that GPT-5 becomes the default model in ChatGPT for all users connected :
- Free version you use GPT-5 up to a certain usage limit. Once reached, ChatGPT switches to gpt-5 mini (the light versionfaster and more capable).
- Paying users (More, Team, Enterprise, Edu): limits more comfortable to make it your ChatGPT version on a daily basis. Pro subscribers (aka ChatGPT Pro) have also gpt-5 pro one reasoning model who "thinks longer" for answers more complete and more precise.
- API side openai and different platforms for engineers, OpenAI presented new products for customize and integrate all models range gptincluding gpt-5 and gpt-5 miniin your products.
Business translation whether you are user, free user, subscribers, pro subscribersor developers, GPT-5 is available to subscribers and designed to cover the vast majority of use cases.
Why this new model is more useful smarter, lesshallucinationbest reasoningbest instruction following
- Reduced hallucinations : GPT-5 is trained to better check the facts and explain its limits. As a result more answers reliable requests and sensitive subjects (in particular health issueswithout replacing a professional).
- Unified model + intelligent routing : GPT-5 knows respond quickly when it's simple, and think more (activate a reasoning model) when demand is complex ("think step-by-step").
- Less sycophancy (over-indulgence): the model avoids "saying yes" just to please and better communicates its safety limits.
- Writing and coding : GPT-5 shines in writing (style, structure), and in coding (large repositories, full front-end, debugging).
- Health a level of understanding and caution reinforced, with a clear reminder: ChatGPT is not a doctor.
Benchmarks concrete signals that GPT-5 is more efficient
Without drowning you in tests, here are a few telling benchmarks (from the benchmark quoted by OpenAI):
- Maths : very high level in demanding competitions (eg. LOVE 2025) - a strong indicator of reasoning.
- Code : clear progress on tasks realistic (e.g. SWE-bench Verified), useful for engineering teams.
- Multimodal : best understanding images/videos/diagramsIt's a handy tool for analyzing graphics, slides and interfaces.
- Health : score up on dedicated assessments.
Remember the essentials: this new version product more often the right answer, fasterand knows when to take the time to think.
Security and SAFETY LIMITS : " safe completions "rather than "dry refusals
Rather than simply refuse an ambiguous request, GPT-5 tries tohelp as much as possible within safe limits (e.g. stay high level on topics dual-use).
- He shares its limitsoffers alternatives and reduces over-rejection.
- In practice more answers useful without compromise safety.
Visit companythis means fewer hallucinations, fewer blind spotsand more traceability on the why and wherefore of an answer - a real step towards a artificial intelligence model reliable in production.
And for developers : API, customize and build experiences more advanced
If you build apps, OpenAI has launched improvements on the API for gpt-5 and gpt-5 mini :
- a routing finer according to request,
- the possibility of customize behavior (styles, presetstools),
- and a model more efficient (make more with less of tokens).
In short, for different platforms for engineers, GPT-5 becomes a solid foundation for delivering UX more advanced who better "understand" the context and the tools.
Express FAQ
- GPT-5 in ChatGPTwho's it for? → All users connected. Free version included (with gpt-5 mini after the limit). gpt plus, chatgpt pro and paying users have moreuse and gpt-5 pro for a reasoning extended.
- GPT-5 and GPT-5 mini, what's the difference? → Model gpt-5 The default setting is "standard"; gpt-5 mini is the light version which takes over when you've exceeded your quotas (fast and very capable).
- "Language modelwhat is it again? → A program that anticipates the next word to produce a suite consistent - so generative artificial intelligence.
- Voice mode ? → If you use voice mode from ChatGPT, GPT-5 is applied on the reasoning in the same way (AI is not tied to a single interface).
- And Sam Altman? → OpenAI has press release on the arrival of GPT-5 On the governance/spokesperson side, keep in mind that openai presented the new version and its availability large.
In two sentences: why gpt-5 a impact for the users (and your box)
- For ChatGPT users an assistant smarter, more useful, more efficientwhich hallucinate less and reason better - in the ChatGPT version you're already using.
- For the teams : in APIyou can customize AI, plug in your toolsand automate workflows that yesterday required PhD-level expert (planning, analysis, code, support).
