The new model launches today, even for free users, and OpenAI says it significantly reduces the risk of hallucinations.
After a long wait, OpenAI is finally releasing GPT-5, which is designed to offer ChatGPT users access to an AI as smart as a team of PhD experts. «We think you will love using GPT-5 much more than any previous AI,” says OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
In a live stream today, OpenAI described GPT-5 as a major upgrade to the intelligence of ChatGPT across a wide range of concentrations, including computer coding, math, language, writing, and even health advice. “With GPT-5, now it’s like talking to an expert, a legitimate PhD-level expert in anything, in any area you need,” Altman said.
The company’s tests show that GPT-5 exhibits a much lower risk of hallucinating inaccurate information compared with OpenAI’s early models. This includes a lower potential to deceive users by claiming it’s completed a task when it actually hasn’t.
“GPT‑5 not only outperforms previous models on benchmarks and answers questions more quickly, but—most importantly—is more useful for real-world queries,” the company added in a blog post full of various benchmarks.
