On August 7, 2025, OpenAI officially unveiled GPT-5, positioning it as a major upgrade over all prior models. OpenAI+3OpenAI+3OpenAI+3
GPT-5 is designed as a unified system: it dynamically routes tasks between a fast responder and a deeper reasoning engine (“thinking mode”) based on complexity and context. OpenAI+2OpenAI+2
Its capabilities span coding, mathematics, writing, health, and visual perception tasks — yielding more accurate, context-aware, and versatile outputs. arXiv+3OpenAI+3OpenAI+3
In early benchmarks and usage, GPT-5 has shown significant performance improvements over GPT-4 and GPT-4o — particularly in medical reasoning, multimodal (image + text) tasks, and more consistent, less biased outputs. OpenAI+4arXiv+4arXiv+4
One paper demonstrated that GPT-5 achieved superior accuracy in radiology-related tasks compared to GPT-4o — gains of up to ~20% in challenging anatomical areas. arXiv
OpenAI offers GPT-5 access via ChatGPT tiers and via its API. The Wall Street Journal+3OpenAI+3OpenAI+3
With this launch, earlier models like GPT-4.5 and others are being deprecated or folded into the new system’s framework. OpenAI+3Wikipedia+3Wikipedia+3
The release marks a key step in the push toward more capable, general-purpose AI systems — though challenges remain in ensuring safety, minimizing hallucinations, and preserving alignment with human values. arXiv+4arXiv+4OpenAI+4
