Introducing GPT-5 | OpenAI
GPT‑5 not only outperforms previous models on benchmarks and answers questions more quickly, but—most importantly—is more useful for real-world queries. We’ve made significant advances in reducing hallucinations, improving instruction following, and minimizing sycophancy, while leveling up GPT‑5’s performance in three of ChatGPT’s most common uses: writing, coding, and health.

ChatGPT is your AI chatbot for everyday use. Chat with the most advanced AI to explore ideas, solve problems, and learn faster.
What is the difference between GPT-5 and GPT-5-chat exactly? Why does GPT-5-chat rate so poorly on livebench.ai?
gpt5-chat is basically a highly distilled non-thinking version of gpt5, so it's its own model. it's the reason so many people don't like gpt5 compared to 4o because its roughly on the same intelligence level but much less empathetic and sycophantic (also faster, so likely quantized or just smaller). gpt5-pro is gpt5 with parallel test time compute. how exactly that is implemented is not public knowledge AFAIK but think of it as several gpt5 instances discussing among each other what the best solution is. it's likely the absolute best model available atm.

Will GPT-5 store or use my data to improve its training?
No, GPT-5 will not store or use your data for training by default. OpenAI has confirmed that data from ChatGPT (including GPT-5) is not used to train models unless you explicitly opt in, and all API and enterprise usage is excluded from training automatically.

Can GPT-5 be used to build autonomous agents without coding experience?
Yes, GPT-5 can be used to build autonomous agents without coding experience by using no-code platforms like Botpress or Langflow. These tools allow users to design workflows, connect APIs, and add logic through drag-and-drop interfaces powered by GPT-5 under the hood.

How will GPT-5 impact traditional jobs in customer support, education, and law?
GPT-5 will automate repetitive tasks like answering common questions, grading, or summarizing legal documents, which may reduce demand for entry-level roles in customer support, education, and law. However, it’s also expected to create new opportunities in AI oversight, workflow design, and strategic advisory roles.

ChatGPT's GPT-5.2 is here, and it feels rushed
Like its predecessor, it includes two default variants. GPT-5.2 Instant is designed for everyday chatting and web searches. GPT-5.2 Thinking is meant for more complex tasks like long reasoning chains and multi-step problem solving.

August 19, 2025 -
I had the impression that GPT-5-chat was simply a sort of a wrapper that directed prompts to the appropriate level of GPT-5 (per thinking level, or to GPT-5-mini when the user had used up their quota for regular GPT-5).
But according to livebench.ai, GPT-5-chat is much worse than GPT-5 with low thinking and even GPT-5 mini. It's basically at the level of GPT-5-nano, but it is not GPT-5-nano.
What the fuck is GPT-5-chat exactly then?
And while I'm here, what exactly is GPT-5-pro? GPT-5 with high thinking effort?

GPT-5-chat uses the GPT-5 model used in the ChatGPT web interface, which is a non-thinking model called GPT-5-main. The GPT-5 models in the API are actually called GPT-5-thinking. GPT-5-chat scores less in LiveBench because in the model family hierarchy, GPT-5-main is equivalent to GPT-4o and GPT-5-thinking is equivalent to o3. In LiveBench, compare the scores for GPT-4o and o3 and you will see a similar difference in scores.

GPT-5: It Just Does Stuff - by Ethan Mollick
August 7, 2025 - So OpenAI previously made the default ChatGPT use fast, dumb models, hiding the good stuff from most users. A surprising number of people have never seen what AI can actually do because they're stuck on GPT-4o, and don’t know which of the confusingly-named models are better. GPT-5 does away with this by selecting models for you, automatically.

GPT5 is about lowering costs for OpenAI, not pushing the boundaries of the frontier
Sam's death star pre-launch hype image was really about the size of his ego and had nothing to do with the capabilities of GPT5

> GPT5 is about lowering costs for OpenAI, not pushing the boundaries of the fronteir It's literally a repainted 4o + o3. Knowledge cutoff is 2024. Voice mode is the exact same. Image generation is the exact same. Plus (pun intended), they got rid of ALL other models, so good luck if you hit usage limits.

r/ChatGPT on Reddit: Chat GPT 5 was not for use, it was to get rid of free users all along.
August 11, 2025 -
Chat GPT 5 was never created to be a new, more performative model, it was used to get rid of free users, see, it required too much money for them to allow free users on it.
Their first move was to allow only pro users to be able to continue using chat gpt4, with a wait and see politics for plus users.
As expected, plus users made it very clear they hated it ( it's normal, it's a trap for removing free users as Chat GPT 5 is literally unusable) and Sam Altman, wanting to present as a CEO that listens to the users made it available again for plus users, so he can be portrayed as " the good guy".
My bet is: free users will be stuck to the "new" model, that is unusable,
So they'll switch to an other IA, they'll be a burden for the other company and open IA will deal mostly only with pro and plus users.
To sum up: it was the plan all along for chat GPT 5 to be shitty and unusable all along, their real aim by releasing it was to get rid of free users, and see how the plus users would react to it.
EDIT:AFTER A LOT OF THINKING, I THINK I WAS WRONG. THE MAIN REASON BEHIND CHAT GPT5 IS THAT NOW OPEN IA WANT TO SUCK DRY WORK DATA, AND THAT CHAT GPT5 IS THE PERFECT MODEL FOR THIS NEW PURPOSE!
