GLOBAL, AUG 10 – GPT-5 delivers 45% fewer factual errors and offers advanced coding and customizable features, enhancing AI trust and integration with Microsoft products, OpenAI said.

  • On Thursday, OpenAI made GPT-5 available to all ChatGPT users, including the free tier, for 700 million weekly users with capped usage.
  • Amid AI trust debates, GPT-5 employs a reasoning model that adjusts depth for problem-solving and has undergone 5,000 hours of safety testing to reduce hallucinations.
  • Testing demonstrates GPT-5, latest LLM model, scored 74.9% on SWE-bench coding tests and over 96% in advanced tool-calling evaluations, handling roughly 400,000 tokens.
  • Meanwhile, free users can access GPT-5-mini after usage caps, while enterprise, education, Plus, and Pro users gain varying levels of access as Microsoft integrates GPT-5 across products.
  • Future applications may see GPT-5 as a trusted partner or persuasive tool, adapting reasoning to user needs and making interactions more human-like, OpenAI envisions.
