The company said GPT-5 can intelligently switch between a fast, general-purpose mode and a more analytical processing mode, referred to internally as “GPT-5 thinking,” to handle more complex queries. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman likened the model’s performance to having a team of Ph.D.-level experts available on demand.
According to OpenAI, GPT-5 delivers improved results in mathematics, programming, and visual understanding. The model can help generate and debug complex front-end web development projects, and assist with writing tasks that demand literary depth and stylistic nuance.
In the health domain, OpenAI called GPT-5 its "best model yet" for medical-related queries, noting improvements in accuracy and contextual relevance based on a user's geography. However, some experts have urged caution, warning that AI-generated advice should not be viewed as a replacement for professional medical consultation.

The company said GPT-5 shows reduced instances of “hallucination,” a term for when AI generates incorrect or fabricated information, and better adherence to user instructions, a longstanding challenge in generative AI systems.
GPT-5 will be rolled out across OpenAI’s product suite, including ChatGPT, with Plus and Pro subscribers gaining access to enhanced versions offering more advanced reasoning. Microsoft, a major investor in OpenAI, said in a blog post that the model will also power new features in Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, and other consumer-facing Copilot services.
For developers, GPT-5 will be available through OpenAI’s API, with a tiered pricing structure that includes smaller variants such as “GPT-5 mini” and “GPT-5 nano.” The API allows control over parameters such as reasoning depth and verbosity, aimed at developers building custom applications.
OpenAI also highlighted GPT-5’s utility in business environments, with support for integration into tools like Google Drive and Microsoft SharePoint to generate responses informed by internal documents and workflows.
According to the company the model has achieved top-tier performance on industry benchmarks in math, coding, and multimodal understanding. Since the release of ChatGPT in 2022, OpenAI has gained broad consumer adoption. The company expects ChatGPT to reach 700 million weekly active users this week.
As previously reported by CNBC, OpenAI is also in discussions with investors for a possible share sale that could value the company at approximately $500 billion.
