OpenAI has introduced GPT-5, a unified system that claims to feature a smart and efficient model. It can answer most questions, employ a deeper reasoning model (GPT-5 thinking) for more complex problems, and a real-time router that quickly decides which to use based on the type and complexity of the conversation.
Key GPT-5 improvements
Dubbed by OpenAI as their ”best AI system yet”, OpenAI claims that the new model will offer greater reliability and accuracy, with fewer instances of hallucinations, and can deliver more accurate answers than any previous reasoning model.
As a new feature, GPT-5 provides safe completions, offering the most helpful response possible within safety boundaries, rather than refusing or complying solely based on the user’s prompt. It also provides clear explanations when it can’t assist.
With an improved coding model, users can use it for frontend design. It can also create functional websites, apps, and games, even without coding experience.
As a writing assistant, GPT-5 offers greater precision and adaptability to context, making it more useful for real-world workflows.
Users can also leverage the model for health-related concerns. It can proactively flag potential concerns and ask questions, helping users understand the results, ask the right questions within the available time with providers, and weigh options as they make decisions.
Although it does not claim to replace a medical professional, GPT-5 can adapt to a user’s context, knowledge level, and geography, enabling it to provide safer and more helpful responses for health-related concerns.
Availability
GPT-5 is available free to all users. Plus subscribers are experiencing increased usage, and Pro subscribers are gaining access to GPT-5 Pro, a version with enhanced reasoning capabilities for even more accurate answers.
