OpenAI has officially launched its most anticipated AI model, GPT‑5, which promises a significant leap in capability, reasoning, and adaptability.
The new architecture brings together three key components: a fast, efficient model for general queries, a deeper reasoning engine called ‘GPT‑5 Thinking’ for more complex problems, and a real-time router that determines which model to use based on the nature of the conversation.
The router plays an important role by analyzing conversation type, complexity, tool usage, and even cues like “think hard about this” within prompts to decide which model to deploy.
According to OpenAI, the system is continuously trained on live feedback, such as model-switching behavior, response preference rates, and correctness metrics, to improve routing decisions over time. Interestingly, once the usage caps are hit, a lightweight version of each model takes over to handle queries efficiently.
The company claims that GPT‑5 offers smarter and more relevant responses across a wide range of subjects, including math, science, finance, and law, making it feel “like having a team of experts on call.”
GPT‑5 also shows significant gains in benchmarks that test instruction-following and agentic tool use, crucial for tasks involving multi-step instructions, tool coordination, and contextual adaptation.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, shared on X, “GPT-5 can make something interactive to explain complex concepts like the Bernoulli effect to you, churning out hundreds of lines of code in a couple of minutes.”
He added that GPT‑5 is rolling out today for Free, Plus, Pro, and Team users, and will become available to Enterprise and Education users next week.
Within an hour of the announcement, people began sharing positive feedback.
“I’ve been using gpt-5 for a bit now. This model broke me. It is so good. I didn’t know what the price was. I assumed it would be o3-pro priced because it is that smart. Nope. Truly insane. Videos coming very soon,” a user said on X.
Others claimed that GPT-5 was way better than the recently released Claude Opus 4.1. A user wrote, “GPT-5 beats Claude Opus 4.1 in coding and becomes the best coding model in the world! It achieves 74.9% on SWE-Bench, surpassing Claude Opus 4.1’s 74.5%.”
