GPT-5 introduces a real-time routing set, choosing the model to suit each requirement. However, when it was launched on August 7, this feature encountered problems, causing GPT-5 to respond less than expected.
Many AMA users on Reddit complained that GPT-5 was not as effective as 4o. altman said the reason GPT-5 looks inferior is because the routes were not working properly when it was released.
altman admitted his mistake and said he had fixed it, while adjusting the boundary to choose a more accurate model. He also promised to be more transparent about the new model and consider allowing Plus users to continue accessing GPT-4o and doubling the usage limit after stable implementation.
Despite the initial problems, altman insists OpenAI will listen to feedback and continue to improve GPT-5 to achieve better performance.
