GPT-5 is here: ChatGPT just took a big step forwards

GPT-5, the next major upgrade to OpenAI’s ChatGPT AI model, has finally arrived, bringing with it new capabilities that push the AI model further forwards.

It’s live on OpenAI’s site, and should be rolling out to your own profile soon.

What’s new in GPT-5?

It’s free for all users, with those on the free tier getting switched to GPT-5 mini when their main use ends
It will modulate how much reasoning it does on
It can now connect to Gmail and Google Calendar, so it can understand your schedule better (Pro users first)
It’s designed to hallucinate less, offer greater reliability in its responses and generally be more dependable
It offers a more natural, less ‘AI-like’ writing style
Subscribers can alter the color scheme
The Voice mode is coming to all tiers, and you can customize the responses to this (even down to ‘only answer with one word’)
Study mode is more advanced, where you can ‘get personalized, step-by-step help to learn anything’
