OpenAI's Chat GPT-5: All you need to know
Sam Altman-led OpenAI has finally released its much-hyped GPT-5. He called it the "smartest model" the company has ever done. Anyone using ChatGPT can access GPT-5. Free users can send up to 10 messages every 5 hours, after which ChatGPT switches to a smaller version of the model until the limit resets. Here's all there is to know about the new model. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Cynic: Sarcastic and blunt, but helpful. Sarcastic and blunt, but helpful. Robot: Direct and emotionless. Direct and emotionless. Listener: Calm, thoughtful, and warm. Calm, thoughtful, and warm. Nerd: Curious and loves explaining things. OpenAI has officially launched GPT-5, calling it the smartest and most capable version of its artificial intelligence models to date. The company says the new model is more accurate, more efficient, and has significantly lower hallucination rates compared to previous to X, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted: 'GPT-5 is the smartest model we've ever done, but the main thing we pushed for is real-world utility and mass accessibility/affordability.'GPT-5 is now being gradually rolled out to ChatGPT Plus , Pro users, and Team plans across web, mobile, and desktop platforms. It will soon be available to Enterprise and Education plan users as using ChatGPT can access GPT-5. If you're on a paid plan (Plus, Pro, or Team), you can also use the model picker to switch between the regular GPT-5 model and GPT-5 on the Pro and Team tiers get access to GPT-5 Thinking Pro, which takes a little longer to respond but offers more accurate results for complex users can send up to 10 messages every 5 hours, after which ChatGPT switches to a smaller version of the model until the limit resets. Free users can also send one GPT-5 Thinking message per users have a higher limit of 80 messages every 3 hours. Thereafter, their conversations also default to a lighter version of GPT-5. They can use GPT-5 Thinking up to 200 times per week. Once this limit is reached, GPT-5 Thinking disappears from the picker, although automatic switches by the system won't count toward this and Team subscribers enjoy unlimited access to GPT-5 models, with appropriate safeguards in place to prevent misuse, according to the introduces a more intelligent system that simplifies how the model works behind the scenes. Instead of users needing to choose between versions such as Turbo or Standard, the system now automatically selects the best fit based on the task. There's a fast, general-purpose model for everyday queries, and GPT-5 Thinking for more advanced reasoning. A built-in router decides which to use based on the complexity of the conversation and your usage limits are hit, a mini version takes over, ensuring a smooth experience even when you've reached your cap. In the future, OpenAI plans to combine all of these capabilities into a single seamless model.A major new feature is the ability to connect ChatGPT to Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts. Once linked, ChatGPT can use information from these apps without needing repeated now supports accent colour customisation, allowing users to personalise the look of chat bubbles, highlighted text, and the Voice button. This can be done through the Settings menu on both web and mobile is rolling out a more advanced Voice Mode, now compatible with custom GPTs (user-created for a specific purpose). This replaces the old "Standard Voice Mode", which will be retired in 30 days. Plus users will get near-unlimited use, while Free users can use it for several hours interactions will now adapt to your preferences, changing tone, speed, and speaking style depending on your instructions or the can now choose from five ChatGPT personalities in the settings, including the default neutral style. Options include:However, these do not apply in Voice describes GPT-5 as 'our strongest coding model to date.' On its website, the company demonstrates how GPT-5 was able to build an entire game from a single outperforms earlier models such as o3 across coding benchmarks and has been tuned for agentic coding products such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codex CLI, and the rollout of GPT-5, several older models are being phased out. These include GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.5, and all o3 and o4-mini variants. If you open an older conversation that used one of these models, ChatGPT will automatically upgrade it to the nearest GPT-5 example, chats that used o3 will now run on GPT-5 Thinking, while those using o3-Pro will run on GPT-5 Pro (available only on Pro and Team plans). Pro, Team, and Enterprise users will still have access to legacy models through special settings for a limited time.

OpenAI releases ChatGPT-5 model; here's all you need to know about it
Sam Altman-led OpenAI on Thursday officially rolled out ChatGPT-5, its most advanced large language model (LLM), marking a huge milestone in the evolution of artificial intelligence. With its state-of-the-art performance across a wide range of domains, GPT-5 sets a new standard and is the new default model, replacing the GPT-4 version. In a statement released, the company said, "GPT-5 is a unified system, with a smart, efficient model that answers most questions, has a deeper reasoning model (GPT-5 thinking) for harder problems, and a real-time router that quickly decides which to use based on conversation type, complexity, tool needs, and your explicit intent (for example, if you say 'think hard about this' in the prompt). The router is continuously trained on real signals, including when users switch models, preference rates for responses, and measured correctness, improving over time. Once usage limits are reached, a mini version of each model handles remaining queries. Shortly, we plan to integrate these capabilities into a single model. " Here's all you need to know about ChatGPT-5 ChatGPT-5 access and its usage limit The GPT-5 version is available to all users, including Plus, Pro, Team, and Free users. Access to GPT-5 for Enterprise and Edu customers to be available in a week. Paid users of ChatGPT can use the upgraded version without any restrictions and will also be able to gain access to GPT-5 Pro. Team users, Enterprise, and Edu users can also use GPT-5 as the default model for their everyday tasks. A limit has been set for free users, according to the company. Once the limit for GPT-5 is exhausted, ChatGPT will revert to GPT-5 mini, which is a smaller model. ChatGPT-5 availability and how to access it The rollout of GPT-5 has commenced on August 7, the company said. However, for free users, the upgraded version might be available after a few days. Here's how you can access the GPT-5 version Users will not be required to take any action from their end. Whenever they open ChatGPT while signed in, the GPT-5 model will automatically be made available. It replaces GPT-4o, OpenAI o3, OpenAI o4-Mini, GPT-4.1, and GPT-4.5. GPT-5 features GPT-5 not only outperforms the previous models in terms of answering questions more quickly, but it is also more useful for real-world queries, the company said. Its performance has been enhanced in three of the most common areas, mainly writing, coding, and health. The new version can also understand when a quick response is required and when it should take more time to give a detailed response. OpenAI has worked on reducing hallucinations, improving instruction following. GPT-5 will also be better at writing and editing-based tasks, and in terms of coding, it is the strongest model to date, the company said. Coders can create small games such as a rolling mini-ball game, a typing game, a drum simulator, and a lo-fi visualiser, with a single prompt. GPT-5 vs GPT-4o According to the company statement, apart from being less susceptible to hallucinations, the GPT-5 model's responses are 45 per cent less likely to have a factual error, as compared to GPT-4o. In terms of reasoning, GPT-5's responses are 80 per less likely to contain a factual error, compared to OpenAI's O3. GPT-5 also replaces OpenAI's O3-Pro, and performs the best in the GPT-5 family.

OpenAI rolls out ChatGPT 5 free, boosts coding and safety features
Sam Altman-led OpenAI on Thursday launched its most advanced large language model (LLM), ChatGPT-5, making it freely available to users worldwide through both its chatbot interface and application programming interface (API). Among the large language model's (LLM's) key features is its ability to generate working software instantly: Users can describe, in a series of prompts, the web application they want to build, and the model will write the code for them. 'This is a major upgrade over 4.0 and a pretty significant step along our path towards AGI (artificial general intelligence),' said OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman. It's the first time one of the company's mainline models feels like a 'legitimate expert', he said. The San Francisco-based firm had launched its first model, ChatGPT 3.5, back in November 2023. Since then, the company's LLMs have evolved rapidly and helped OpenAI become one of the most influential players in the global tech ecosystem. Its LLMs have more than 700 million weekly users globally. Nick Turley, head of ChatGPT at OpenAI, said the new model has lower rates of hallucination than even the o3 model. 'If you have been using o3, you might notice that while it is very intelligent, it can go off thinking for quite some time. And GPT 5 can also think, but it will do so much more quickly, so you have the best of both worlds. You have it reason when it needs to reason, but you do not have to wait as much longer,' Turley said. Turley elaborated on this functionality, saying users can now walk ChatGPT-5 through a step-by-step description of a web application they want to build, and the model will write the relevant code in response. For example, a user might wish to create an app to help teach French to non-French speakers. By prompting the model with the desired features, ChatGPT-5 will generate executable code within the same window. 'Even though this seems pretty simple, building such an interactive website is actually pretty complex and would require multiple hours for a software developer,' said Yann Dubois, a member of OpenAI's technical staff, during a demonstration. ChatGPT 5, Dubois said, would open 'a new world of VibeCoding', where users would not be required to be experts at writing code or knowing programming languages to create web applications with ease. The model has been designed with a strong emphasis on safety, according to Alex Beutel, who leads OpenAI's Safety Research team. ChatGPT-5, he said, has been trained to minimise hallucinations and avoid deception -- instances where a model might falsely claim to have seen an image or completed a task. 'We have built evaluations to try and track the prevalence of this kind of behaviour and trained the model to do it less,' Beutel said. 'We see much lower rates of deception in GPT-5 compared to past models.' To further improve user safety, especially in ambiguous situations where it is unclear whether a prompt is aimed at acquiring knowledge or causing harm, the model will adopt a method called 'safe completions'. This approach involves giving clear but limited answers that remain within boundaries deemed secure. 'The model might only partially answer (such questions), sticking to a higher level of detail that can't actually be used to cause harm. We think this is a better foundation for safety generally, especially in these dual-use cases,' Beutel explained. The new model, Altman said, will be far beyond the frontier of any other model out there, and help make the world more accessible. 'There was another mission as a company, which says that we are willing to forego profits to make AGI broadly beneficial to everyone. We are willing to do these things that other companies might not,' he added.

Anthropic rolls out Claude Opus 4.1, its most advanced model for coding
Anthropic on Tuesday, August 5, introduced its most advanced model capable of software development – the Claude Opus 4.1. According to the Google-backed AI startup, the new model is an upgrade to Claude Opus 4 and is capable of agentic tasks, real-world coding, and reasoning tasks. The company revealed that it has plans to roll out larger improvements to its models in the coming weeks. The new Opus 4.1 is currently available to paid Claude users in Claude Code. Besides, Anthropic is also offering it on its API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Cloud's Vertex AI. However, the Opus 4.1 is priced similar to its predecessor. Apart from real-world coding, the model excels in in-depth research, data analysis tasks, especially those that require agentic action and attention to detail. Claude Opus 4.1 performance When it comes to performance, the new Opus 4.1 comes with noticeable coding upgrades which boosts its score from 72.5 per cent to 74.5 per cent on SWE-bench verified. The model has also demonstrated improvements across math, agentic terminal coding (TerminalBench), GPQA reasoning, visual reasoning (MMMU) benchmarks. According to Anthropic, users have cited real-world gains saying that the Opus 4.1 excels at tasks like multi-file code refactoring and identifying correlations in codebases. Earlier this year, Anthropic had introduced Claude Opus 4, which the company claimed to be the world's best coding model offering sustained performance on complex, long-running tasks and agent workflows. Claude Opus 4.1 is also available on GitHub Copilot Enterprise and Pro+ plans. Users can also access the model in GitHub Copilot Chat on Visual Studio Code, and GitHub Mobile through the chat model picker. Meanwhile, the model in Visual Studio Code is available in ask mode. 'Claude Opus 4 will remain available in the model picker, but it will be deprecated in 15 days,' GitHub said in its blog. With its latest AI model, Anthropic seems to be intensifying its efforts to stay relevant in the competitive AI landscape. The latest upgrade comes days ahead of OpenAI's next big release. The Sam Altman-led company is expected to announce GPT-5, and it will likely shape how AI models of big players fare in terms of coding and software development.

OpenAI releases open-weight reasoning models; Anthropic releases Claude Opus 4.1; Intel struggles with manufacturing next PC chip
OpenAI releases open-weight reasoning models OpenAI has released two open-weight language models for reasoning that are optimised to run on laptops while maintaining a performance equal to smaller closed reasoning AI models. The weights or parameters of the model have been made publicly available for developers to look at and fine-tune for custom tasks but the original training data is hidden. This is different from open-source models that give access to their source code, training data and methodologies. The subject has become highly debated since last year. Open models have generally trailed behind proprietary AI models. Although Meta's Llama models were the best open-source models for a while, Chinese DeepSeek cheaper alternative went to the top earlier this year. DeepSeek's R1 model also stuck to just releasing their model weights and not the training data. OpenAI's hasn't released open models since GPT-2 which was released in 2019. The small variant, gpt-oss-20b, can run on a laptop and the larger model, gpt-oss-120b, can be powered by a single GPU. OpenAI said that the performance of these models is comparable to the o3-mini and o4-mini especially on coding tasks, math and health-related queries. The models were trained on text datasets as well as general knowledge, science, math and coding problems. The Sam Altman-led firm is currently valued at $300 billion and is seeking to raise $40 billion in a new funding round. Anthropic releases Claude Opus 4.1 Anthropic AI has announced Claude Opus 4.1, the successor to their Claude Opus 4 with better coding, reasoning capabilities and agentic tasks. The AI firm has said that the AI model outperforms flagship AI models from rival firms including OpenAI o3 and Gemini 2.5 Pro at multiple benchmarks like Agentic Coding and Multilingual Q&A. However, Claude Opus 4.1 was beaten at other tasks like visual reasoning and math. Opus 4.1 improves upon coding performance scoring 74.5% on SWE-bench Verified compared to the 72.5% that was achieved by Opus 4. Anthropic had released the previous model three months ago. The Claude Opus 4's coding capabilities were so strong that it became popular with developers across. Recent reports around the launch of OpenAI's GPT-5 have said that the model really shone at coding tasks. Last week, Anthropic revoked OpenAI's access to Claude after it was found that the Sam Altman-led firm was using their tool ahead of the GPT-5 launch. The Claude Opus 4.1 is available to paid Claude users, Claude Code subscribers and through API, Amazon Bedrock and Vertex AI. Intel struggles with manufacturing next PC chip Intel is reportedly struggling with getting manufacturing deals and regaining ground as it finds it harder to release high-end and high-margin chips. The company has been trying to reassure investors by promising to increase manufacturing using a process called 18A. Intel has already spent billions of dollars on 18A including constructing or upgrading several factories to compete with rival TSMC. Intel started with the goal of making their business designing chips in-house with help from TSMC via a contract manufacturing business that can compete with this key supplier. Early clients from last year were disappointed but Intel said that the 18A was on track to make 'Panther Lake' laptop semiconductors at high volume starting in 2025, which include next-gen transistors and a more efficient way to deliver power to the chip. A small portion of the Panther Lake chips printed via 18A that were produced were good enough to make available to customers. But Intel execs have also said that yields generally start with lower volumes and grow over time and said that the manufacturing for Panther Lake was on track. The company still hasn't specified when the chips maybe profitable. Intel has also warned that it would quit leading-edge manufacturing completely if it doesn't land external business for 14A, 18A's successor.
