going to try live-tweeting the GPT-5 livestream. first, GPT-5 in an integrated model, meaning no more model switcher and it decides when it needs to think harder or not. it is very smart, intuitive, and fast. it is available to everyone, including the free tier, w/reasoning!

evals aren't the most important thing--the most important thing is how useful we think the model will be--but it does well on evals. for example, a new high on SWE-bench and many other metrics. it is by far our most reliable and factual model ever.

rolling out today for free, plus, pro, and team users. next week to enterprise and edu. making this available in the free tier is a big deal to us; PhD-level intelligence for everyone! plus users get much higher rate limits. pro users get GPT-5 pro; really smart!

demo time: GPT-5 can make something interactive to explain complex concepts like the bernoulli effect to you, churning out hundreds of lines of code in a couple of minutes.

GPT-5 is much better at writing! for example, here is GPT-4o writing a eulogy for our previous models (which we are sunsetting) vs GPT-5.

GPT-5 is good at writing software. here it is making a web app to to learn french, with feature requests including a snake-like game with a mouse and cheese and french words. (you can probably come up with better variations of snake--please give it a try and share!) "voila"

next up: upgraded voice mode! much more natural and smarter. also, free users now can chat for hours, and plus users nearly unlimited. works well with study mode, and lots of other things.

personalization! a little fun one: you can now customize the color of your chats research preview of personalities: choose different ones that match the style you like. memory getting better. connect other services like gmail and google calendar for better responses.

introducing safe completions. a new way to maximize utility while still respecting safety boundaries. should be much less annoying than previous refusals.

seb talking about synthetic data as a new way to make better models! excited for much more to come.

GPT-5 much better at health queries, which is one of the biggest categories of ChatGPT usage. hopeful that it will provide real service to people. grateful that carolina and felipe joined to share their story. ❤️

these models are really good at coding! 3 new models in the API: GPT-5 GPT-5 mini GPT-5 nano new 'minimal' reasoning mode, custom tools, changes to structured outputs, tool call preambles, verbosity parameter, and more coming.

wow a mega chart screwup from us earlier--wen GPT-6?! correct on the blog though. https://x.com/egeerdil2/status...

not just good at software, good at agentic tasks across the board. also great at long context performance

GPT-5 can do very complex software engineering tasks in practice, well beyond vibe coding

model creates a finance dashboard in 5 minutes that devs estimate would have taken many hours:

now, @mntruell joining to talk about cursor's experience with GPT-5. notes that GPT-5 is incredibly smart but does not compromise on ease of use for pair programming. demos fixing an issue; suggests trying too use it for your real work.

Image in tweet by Sam Altman

@mntruell GPT-5 is the best technology for businesses to build on. more than 5 million businesses are using openai; GPT-5 will be a step-change for them. amgen, BBVA, oscar, the US federal government, and many more partners are using GPT-5 to do things they couldn't before.

@mntruell good new on pricing!

Image in tweet by Sam Altman

@mntruell ok now the most important part: "we are about understanding this miraculous technology called deep learning." "this is a work of passion." "i want to to recognize and deeply thank the team at openai" "early glimpses of technology that will go much further." "we'll get back

@sama Tried cursor with gpt5 for some troubleshooting , meaning I needed it to run tools. Was so slow, so much thinking about something sonnet4 is just immediately does. 🤦‍♂️

@sama @grok @elonmusk so this AI evolution will erode the landscape of economy, job stability and looks like we have to continue north with this since ASIA is not going to stop and we are in a competition on GDP right? so humans losing jobs or the botton 70% of the ppl will be hurt as

@sama Hi @sama Personal question from my end, how do I switch off the auto capitalization feature on iPhone? Or do you go back and delete all those tall f*ckrs for vibes?

@sama You should probably stop @thinking_out_loud but the Donald @potus knows that @realDonaldTrump is healthy for $The conception of #democracY

@sama You’re going to lose aren’t you. Grok has sprinted past you. You’re Betamax.

@sama Thought you said it'll be super Intelligent. Rushing to challenge Grok?

@sama Well done team Open AI. So many people take this for granted and don’t see the magic of what you’ve created. Well done. Big high five.

@sama I don’t have it .. when??

@sama @sama only contributions are grifting and live-tweeting. @sama is nothing.

@sama how is 52 higher than 69?

Image in tweet by Sam Altman

@sama is it better than @grok @xai @elonmusk Grok 4 Heavy?

@sama giving free heroin to the masses because your slop company has less than a year left. Incredible.

@sama no its not released yet! according to Chatgpt!

@sama I hate it so much, PLEASE let us access o3 again!

@sama Bro stop live tweeting, what am i supposed to do then? 😭

@sama ✅️Create a benchmark for creativity with jokes, story writing, poetry, songwriting and lyrics. Code is already there I imagine with other features. ✅️ Create a creative partnership program for Sora unlimited and unlimited gpt. ✅️ Thank me later.

@sama Is the context window bigger?
