GPT-5 is supposed to be nicer now
Ammon News - OpenAI announced late Friday that it's updating its latest model to be 'warmer and friendlier.' The company recently launched the much-anticipated GPT-5 in a process that CEO Sam Altman admitted was 'a little more bumpy than we'd hoped for,' with some users complaining that they preferred the previous model, GPT-4o. OpenAI is trying to address some of those complaints with this update, with changes that it says are 'subtle' but will make GPT-5 'more approachable now.' 'You'll notice small, genuine touches like 'Good question' or 'Great start,' not flattery,' the company wrote in a social media post. 'Internal tests show no rise in sycophancy compared to the previous GPT-5 personality.' At a dinner this week with journalists, OpenAI executives tried to focus on the company's plans beyond GPT-5, but as Max Zeff reports, the rocky launch was the elephant in the room. As far as model friendliness goes, VP Nick Turley said that the GPT-5 was 'just very to the point,' but that the new update would — as now announced — make it feel warmer. TechCrunch
