ChatGPT-5 sparks fierce debate after major upgrade: ‘Best AI ever or a huge letdown?'
Sam Altman's OpenAI launched ChatGPT-5 on Thursday, which the company claims is its most powerful and capable artificial intelligence model to date. Internet users soon flooded social media with reviews of the AI model. While some were impressed with it, others said it was hugely disappointing. Techies testing ChatGPT-5 at OpenAI office. (OpenAI) Social media shares mixed reactions: An individual wrote, 'ChatGPT5 is completely unusable. 3 minutes to think about this response, and then immediately followed by a stream error? Bring 4 back as an option.' However, another argued, 'ChatGPT-5 sounds more human now.' A third claimed that the AI model failed when they asked ChatGPT 5 to identify the correct time on the picture of a watch. 'Even @chatGPT5 could not show the right time. And the correction effort was even worse. @sama,' the X user wrote. This X user posted, 'ChatGPT is not living up to the hype. This is supposed to be Agi?' How is ChatGPT-5 different from the previous AI models? The company described this new version of the AI model as being more powerful. 'GPT‑5 is smarter across the board, providing more useful responses across math, science, finance, law, and more. It's like having a team of experts on call for whatever you want to know.' OpenAI added that the new model has several new features, including voice improvements and a study mode. It has a 'single auto-switching system that brings together the best of our previous models into a smart, fast model.' Who can use GPT-5? According to OpenAI, 'GPT-5 is available to all ChatGPT Tiers. Users on Paid tiers - Plus, Pro, and Team - have access to the model picker, which enables you to manually select GPT-5 or GPT-5 Thinking. Pro and Team tier users have access to GPT-5 Thinking Pro, which takes a bit longer to think but delivers the accuracy you need for complex tasks.' Sam Altman on ChatGPT-5: 'GPT-5 now rolled out to 20% of paid users and doing >2B TPM on the API! so far so good… excellent work by the eng and infra teams!' the OpenAI CEO tweeted. He described the model as 'very smart, intuitive, and fast.'

OpenAI's GPT-5, an AI model everyone seemed to be waiting for, goes Live
OpenAI's new flagship model, GPT-5, is now rolling out to users and developers. The much awaited step forward in the world of artificial intelligence (AI) comes as the AI company also flexes its 700 million active weekly user base, with an insistence that the new model is better at accuracy, speed, reasoning, context recognition, structured thinking, and problem-solving, than anything which preceded it. The real utility is expected to be derived from business and enterprise use cases — and since hardly anything AI goes by without a mention of it, 'agentic' utility too. Enterprises, which OpenAI worked with to test GPT-5 ahead of the more profound rollout, seem impressed with what they've seen. (Official photo) This is the 'PhD-level intelligence' model that OpenAI executives have spoken about over recent months. 'Making this available in the free tier is a big deal to us — PhD-level intelligence for everyone. Plus users get much higher rate limits. Pro users get GPT-5 pro,' says Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, in a post on X. The GPT-5 will be available now across tiers — that is Free, Plus, Pro, and Team users. Altman also confirms that at some point next week, it will also be rolling out for enterprise and education subscriptions. The enterprise workflow focus is clear. 'With GPT‑5, companies embracing AI will quickly benefit from its unified ChatGPT experience and, under more advanced use cases, its enhanced API performance on agents and coding. We anticipate early adoption to drive industry leadership on what's possible with AI powered by GPT-5, leading to better decision-making, improved collaboration, and faster outcomes on high-stakes work for organisations,' the company explains, in a statement. Enterprises, which OpenAI worked with to test GPT-5 ahead of the more profound rollout, seem impressed with what they've seen. There are three models on the menu for them — GPT5, GPT-5-mini, and GPT-5-nano 'GPT-5 represents a potential step-change in how we can deliver nuanced, domain-aware experiences across our global marketplace. In early testing, we're already seeing gains in structured reasoning, conversational fluency, and overall performance, unlocking new possibilities to enhance customer interactions and support,' says Jai Malkani, Global Head of AI and Products, Customer Obsession at Uber. 'OpenAI's GPT-5 is a truly impressive step forward in agentic reasoning and problem solving,' says Adam Evans, Executive Vice President & GM at Salesforce AI. Stéphane Bancel, CEO at Moderna, says, 'This release marks a significant step toward AI systems that understand intent, enhance human capability, and fundamentally transform how work is done.' Altman points out that GPT-5 brings marked improvements in writing software, an upgraded voice model that's more natural with conversation, at handling health queries, vibe coding and long context performance. Interesting to note, the AI company got a performance benchmark chart wrong in their presentation (where 69.1% 'without thinking' accuracy and 30.8% accuracy were represented by the same size bar graphs, and both a size smaller than GPT-5's 52.8% accuracy rate) — perhaps the prompt 'make a chart that makes GPT-5 look good and make no mistakes' didn't work as well as expected? Before enterprises run to fire humans and replace them with ChatGPT subscriptions, something to ponder over? Assuming GPT-5 was used to generate charts about GPT-5. Microsoft, which has invested more than $10 billion in OpenAI in recent years and reportedly collects around 20% share of the AI company's revenue, is understandably not taking any time to ponder over this. Yusuf Mehdi, Executive Vice President, Consumer Chief Marketing Officer at Microsoft, confirms that the new model is being launched across their platforms. 'With today's launch of GPT-5, we're seeing a shift in how intelligence shows up—less about choosing tools, more about focusing on the task. Whether you're coding, reasoning through a complex problem, or just trying to get something done faster, GPT-5 routes itself to the right capability—so you can stay focused on the task, not the tech,' he writes, in a post on X. GPT-5 is now rolling out for Microsoft users across Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, GitHub Copilot, Visual Studio Code, and Azure AI Foundry.
