OpenAI has launched GPT-5, its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model for ChatGPT. Unveiled during a livestream, the new model promises faster, smarter, and more useful responses than GPT-4o — especially for real-world tasks, complex reasoning, and instruction following.
GPT-5 runs on two models—one for basic tasks and a smarter ‘Thinking’ model for complex ones. A real-time router now picks the right model automatically, making responses faster, more accurate, and efficient without any input needed from the user.
GPT-5 is officially rolling out today. While all ChatGPT users can explore it for free, access is limited. To unlock higher usage limits and premium features, users can upgrade to a Plus or Pro plan — with Pro subscribers getting exclusive GPT-5 Pro access.
OpenAI says GPT-5 brings major advances in coding, helping not just developers but everyday users. With a single prompt, people can now create polished apps, games, and websites. The company’s blog features real examples made entirely through plain English instructions.
ChatGPT can now integrate with Google Calendar and Gmail, allowing users to ask questions based on their schedules or email content. This new feature will be available to Pro users starting next week, with phased rollout planned for other user tiers.
GPT-5 scored highest on HealthBench, a trusted medical benchmark. It can now write and summarise medical reports, flag potential concerns, and explain complex health information in a simpler way — helping both doctors and patients better understand medical issues.
GPT-5 can now serve as a personal tutor, helping with lesson plans, study material, and more. It remembers past chats, reduces errors, and gives tailored, accurate answers — making it a more dependable tool for students and learning support.
GPT-5 now acts like a true assistant, capable of handling complex, multi-step tasks—such as market research, workflow management, or legal analysis. With stronger instruction-following, it’s more useful for business, education, and personal productivity than ever before.
GPT-5 isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a shift in how AI works for people. Whether you're building apps, checking emails, learning or managing work, GPT-5 makes it all easier, smarter and faster.
