OpenAI just dropped GPT-5, and it's not just another incremental update, it's like having a team of PhD-level experts on hand at any time.
The model is available to all ChatGPT users including free users, with improved reasoning, better coding capabilities, and enhanced multimodal interactions. It codes full UI apps in one go, plans entire product launches from scratch, and mimics your writing style with eerie precision.
Here's what makes GPT-5 revolutionary: it's smarter, faster, genuinely useful, and comes in multiple variants (GPT-5, mini, nano, chat) with unified reasoning and improved agentic capabilities.
Getting Started
Free Users: Access GPT-5 with usage limits, fallback to GPT-5 mini when limits reached
Plus Users: Higher usage limits and priority access ($20/month)
Pro Users: Unlimited GPT-5 access plus GPT-5 Pro with extended reasoning
Enterprise: Full access with company data integration and advanced features
