OpenAI unveils GPT-5, free for all with usage limits
Bengaluru: OpenAI has begun rolling out its long-awaited new model, GPT-5. The headline-grabbing feature is that it's free for all users, though with strict usage limits for the free tier. The company's CEO, Sam Altman, told reporters virtually in a press conference ahead of the worldwide launch of the new model that he thinks people will love using it much more than any previous AI system. "One of the coolest things it can do is write you good instantaneous software. I think this idea of software-on-demand is going to be one of the defining features of the GPT-5 era," he said. Altman went on to liken the model to a PhD-level expert, one able to address a wide range of questions and perform tasks. The new model unifies all of the disparate models available right now on the ChatGPT platform and will be available in three variants: the standard version, alongside lighter 'mini' and 'nano' editions. Subscribers to the $200-a-month Pro tier of ChatGPT will also gain access to a Pro version of GPT-5 — likely the standard GPT-5 model, but with significantly higher compute limits. It is also said to achieve state-of-the-art performance on numerous core academic benchmarks across maths, science, and coding. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Accelerate Business Growth Read Now Undo Notably, GPT-5 is said to demonstrate a significantly lower hallucination rate and is designed to be more upfront and less deceptive. Its reasoning processes are also faster than prior iterations. For coding, OpenAI said the model produces higher quality code for both backend and frontend development, as well as UI design. It can also allow anyone with zero coding knowledge to create functional websites, apps, and games. The new model is also capable of managing longer, more complex agentic tasks that may involve calling multiple tools. "A tool can be a browser, a terminal, or an API. And we've seen that GPT-5 is actually much more accurate even when lots of tools are required for a task," Olivier Godement, Head of Product, Platform, at OpenAI said. Additionally, GPT-5 offers improved writing capabilities with enhanced "taste" compared to its predecessors and supports a context window of up to 256,000 tokens. OpenAI also noted that GPT-5 significantly improves multilingual understanding across 12 Indian languages. Altman went on to say that India is the company's second-largest market in the world after the US and that it may well become their largest market in the world one day.

IT sector may be hit amid AI shift, slower spending
Bengaluru: As AI-driven efficiency gains increasingly impact deal wins, triggering steeper rate cuts, the 25% additional tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump pose a double whammy to India's IT sector. Even as the sector anticipated greater trade clarity by Aug-a development expected to boost US consumer spending-the announcement of an additional 25% tariff now threatens to dampen sentiment and stall the fragile recovery in discretionary spending. Phil Fersht, CEO of US-based HfS Research, said Trump's 25% tariff is the new IT services wrecking ball. "While services aren't directly taxed, the new tariffs stoke inflation in the US, forcing American firms to tighten discretionary spending. As manufacturing, logistics, and retail customers reel from higher input costs, they'll look to slash consulting and IT outsourcing contracts first, slowing deal cycles and delaying rollouts. Deal slippage will be most visible in manufacturing, logistics, and retail verticals by the Sept quarter." Fersht believes the new levy is forcing American enterprises to slam the brakes on discretionary spending. "A tariff-fuelled downturn in the world's largest economy typically translates into weaker tech budgets, directly crimping Indian software export growth, which depends on US buyers for over half its $190 billion in annual revenues." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Unforgettable Cars from the Past Undo In a recent report, Kotak Institutional Equities said the demand environment took a slight hit due to uncertainty over the Trump administration's tariff regime, with considerable impact on retail, logistics, and manufacturing verticals. "The hi-tech vertical is focused on investing for the future (AI-related capex and opex) while optimising the present (cuts to discretionary spending and prioritising spends away from other bets to AI). The healthcare vertical is operating under considerable uncertainty with payers under cost pressure and Trump ratcheting pressure on big pharma with threats of tariffs and changes to the drug pricing regime," the note said.
