OpenAI Launches GPT-5 with Major Upgrades in AI Reasoning, Context, and Automation
OpenAI has officially rolled out GPT-5, its most advanced AI model yet, bringing major improvements in reasoning power, context handling, and task automation. The model is now live for all ChatGPT users, with multiple variants available across different access tiers.
Model Versions and Smart Routing
GPT-5 comes in four versions — Nano, Mini, Standard, and Chat. A smart routing system automatically selects the best version for each task, depending on complexity. For highly demanding requests, users can enable the thinking mode, which boosts reasoning depth for detailed problem-solving.

Advanced Performance Across Fields
OpenAI says GPT-5 delivers PhD-level performance in over 40 professional domains, including law, engineering, healthcare, logistics, sales, and software development. Hallucination rates — AI’s tendency to make up information — are reportedly 45% lower compared to GPT-4o, making outputs more accurate and reliable.
Superior Coding Skills & Benchmarks
In coding tests, GPT-5 significantly outperformed earlier models:
-
SWE-Bench Verified: 74.9%
-
Aider Polyglot: 88%
These results beat GPT-4’s 52% and the O3 model’s 69.1%. GPT-5 can handle multi-step workflows, chain tool calls, and even generate user interfaces with ease.
Massive Context Window
With support for up to 400,000 input tokens (text + images) and outputs of up to 128,000 tokens, GPT-5 can process large documents, analyze images, and maintain long conversations in a single session.
Users can also choose from custom interaction styles — Cynic, Robot, Listener, and Nerd — to personalize AI responses. Integration with Gmail and Google Calendar now allows managing emails and schedules directly from ChatGPT.
