ChatGPT’s long-awaited new engine is here, and GPT-5 promises faster speeds and more time spent thinking. But the new generative AI model has turned off some users with a tone shift away from its casual, conversational style. GPT-5 has been in the works for months. It’s a big step for OpenAI, more than two years after the release of GPT-4, with the company touting the model as a giant leap for large language models. “I tried going back to GPT-4 and it was quite miserable,” said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. “This is significantly better in obvious ways and subtle ways.” Like its predecessor, GPT-5 powers the chatbots, agents, and search tools in ChatGPT and other apps that use OpenAI’s technology. Yet this version is supposed to be smarter, more accurate and faster. Demonstrations showed GPT-5 quickly creating custom applications with no coding required, and developers said they’ve worked on ways to make sure it provides safer answers to potentially treacherous questions. The new model is available now, including those who use ChatGPT’s free tier. Unlike some of OpenAI’s incremental releases, GPT-5 will be rolled out for all users, not only to the companies paying for big enterprise plans.
