OpenAI has unveiled its latest language model, GPT-5, calling it a major advancement in artificial intelligence.
The company likens it to “having a PhD-level expert in your pocket” who can answer almost any question.
From High School to PhD-Level Expertise
CEO Sam Altman compared GPT-3 to a high school student and GPT-4 to a university undergraduate. GPT-5, he says, finally feels like a genuine expert with deep, reliable knowledge.
Industry Applause from Denmark
The Danish business group Dansk Industri hails the release as a “huge leap forward.” Its head of AI, Henrik Fabrin, praised the technology’s potential for helping with tasks ranging from personal growth to professional projects.
A Pocketful of Experts
Fabrin likened GPT-5 to carrying “a bundle of PhDs” capable of assisting with all kinds of work, whether in the office or at home. The organisation sees vast opportunities for productivity gains.
Reliability and Accuracy in Focus
OpenAI says the development of GPT-5 prioritised fact-based accuracy and reliability, with a strong emphasis on reducing errors and misinformation in its responses.
Strength in Healthcare Applications
Special attention was given to improving the model’s trustworthiness in sensitive areas like healthcare, according to reporting by TechRadar. This makes GPT-5 less prone to “hallucinations” or fabricated facts.
OpenAI’s Most Dependable Model Yet
The company describes GPT-5 as its most reliable release so far. It’s designed to avoid pretending to know something it doesn’t — a common pitfall in earlier models.
AI-Powered Coding in Seconds
At its launch event, OpenAI demonstrated GPT-5’s “vibe coding” skills, creating a functioning app within seconds based on a set of requirements, showcasing its speed and coding abilities.
Broad Access with Some Limits
The upgrade will roll out to all 700 million ChatGPT users worldwide. However, free users will have only limited access before the service switches them to a less powerful version.
The Dawn of a New AI Era
With GPT-5, OpenAI believes it has brought AI closer than ever to expert-level reasoning, opening the door to more advanced, dependable, and creative digital tools.
