    OpenAI’s last upgrade to GPT-5 rollout faced backlash for retiring older models among users. OpenAI acknowledged that it underestimated users’ affection for the older GPTs, even if GPT-5 performs better in most ways.

    In response to the critics, OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, announced that rate limits for ChatGPT Plus users would be doubled and would continue to use the 4o model.

    Previously, ChatGPT could tap into several different AI models, including GPT‑4o, o3, o4-mini, GPT‑4.1, and GPT‑4.5. But OpenAI has since replaced them with a family of GPT-5 models.

    On Thursday, OpenAI unveiled a new flagship AI model, GPT-5, and began sharing the technology with ChatGPT users worldwide.

    OpenAI executives called GPT-5 a “major upgrade” over their AI systems, saying the new technology was faster, more accurate, and less likely to hallucinate.

    “GPT-5 is the first time that it feels like talking to an expert in any topic — a Ph.D.-level expert,” said OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman.

    Also, it was the first time that OpenAI has used a reasoning model to power the free version of ChatGPT.

    Experts agreed on the fact that the technology feels more human than previous models.

    Sam Altman called the system a “significant step” along the path to the ultimate goal of the company and its rivals: artificial general intelligence, or AGI, a machine that can do anything the human brain can do.

    GPT-5’s launch arrives in a moment when OpenAI, which is not yet profitable, plans to raise $40 billion this year, while being on pace to generate revenues of $20 billion by the end of 2025.

    OpenAI Introduces Its Flagship Model ‘GPT-5’, Making It the New Default in ChatGPT

    OpenAI unveiled its latest model, GPT-5 yesterday, making it available to all ChatGPT users, including those on the free tier, with usage limits varying by subscription level.

    It is also integrated into Microsoft 365 Copilot and available to developers through the OpenAI API.

    The company made GPT‑5 the new default in ChatGPT, replacing GPT‑4o, OpenAI o3, OpenAI o4-mini, GPT‑4.1, and GPT‑4.5 for signed-in users.

    GPT‑5 started to roll out today to all Plus, Pro, Team, and Free users, with access for Enterprise and Edu coming in one week. Pro, Plus, and Team users could also start coding with GPT‑5 in the Codex CLI⁠ by signing in with ChatGPT.

    Pro subscribers got unlimited access to GPT‑5, and access to GPT‑5 Pro, for complex tasks and a replacement of OpenAI o3‑pro. Plus users have significantly higher usage than free users.

    “For ChatGPT free-tier users, full reasoning capabilities may take a few days to fully roll out. Once free users reach their GPT‑5 usage limits, they will transition to GPT‑5 mini, a smaller, faster, and highly capable model,” said OpenAI.

    During a livestream presentation [watch in the video below], the company’s CEO, Sam Altman, described the model as “having a team of experts on call for whatever you want to know.” He defined it as “our smartest, fastest, most useful model yet, with built-in thinking that puts expert-level intelligence in everyone’s hands.”

    GPT‑5 provides more useful responses across math, science, finance, and law. It includes 128,000 max output tokens. The price per 1 million tokens for the API is $1.25.

    The tools supported by this model when using the Responses API are Web search, File search, Image generation, Code interpreter, and MCP.

    OpenAI’s executives who participated in the virtual presentation highlighted the coding capabilities of GPT-5, tackling “complex tasks end-to-end and delivering more readily usable code, better design, and is more effective at debugging.”

    GPT‑5 is OpenAI’s most advanced model for coding and agentic tasks. It produces high-quality code, generates front-end UI with minimal prompting, and shows improvements to personality, steerability, and executing long chains of tool calls.”

    GPT‑5 also showed ‘minimal’ reasoning and a ‘verbosity’ parameter in the API.
