OpenAI’s GPT-5, launched recently, offers improved reasoning, stronger coding skills, and new “personalities” like cynic and nerd to make interactions more natural. It integrates with Gmail and Google Calendar for productivity and reduces factual errors by 45% compared to GPT-4o. Though free for 700 million users, higher usage limits and advanced versions are available via paid subscriptions. GPT-5 excels in coding and health queries but isn’t a substitute for doctors. While easier to use and powered by a reasoning model, GPT-5 is an evolution, not a breakthrough toward full artificial general intelligence (AGI).
