GPT-5 is the company's first "unified" AI model, combined with the strong argumentation ability of the o-series line with the fast response speed of GPT-series, opening an era where ChatGPT can function as a real "assistant" rather than just a chatbot.
GPT-5 allows ChatGPT to perform a series of user-replacement tasks such as creating software applications, managing work schedules or preparing research reports. The system is also designed to be simpler, automatically choosing optimal responses, responding quickly when needed or taking more time to "think" more carefully.
CEO Sam altman called it the Best model in the world, marking an important step towards General AI (AGI).
From today, GPT-5 will be the default model for all free ChatGPT users, bringing the power of advanced reasoning AI to the public for the first time.
OpenAI expects this move to help the technology spread widely and bring practical benefits to more people.
The fact that GPT-5 is available to all users, including free, shows that OpenAI is accelerating in the global AI race, while putting strong pressure on rivals such as Google, Anthropic and Meta.
With the ability to multi- tasks, deep reasoning and closer interaction, GPT-5 not only promises to change the way people search for information or work, but also reshapes the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence in the coming years.
