OpenAI has officially launched GPT-5, its most powerful and unified AI model yet — now available for free and paid users of ChatGPT.
This model blends fast response times with deep reasoning, allowing ChatGPT to move beyond conversation and actually complete tasks like writing code, managing calendars, summarizing research, or generating entire applications.
What’s New in GPT-5?
Agent-like behavior: Instead of just chatting, GPT-5 can act as a virtual assistant that performs tasks independently.
Smart routing: The model now decides in real-time whether to give a fast reply or think longer for deeper answers.
Available to all: Free users get limited access, while Pro subscribers unlock extended usage and a “GPT-5 Pro” mode.
Developer-ready: GPT-5 comes in three versions (base, mini, nano) via OpenAI API, and pricing starts at $1.25 per million input tokens.
Performance Highlights
Scores 74.9% on SWE-bench coding tasks — better than Claude Opus 4.1 and Gemini 2.5 Pro.
Shows reduced hallucination rates — just 4.8%, down from 22% in previous models.
Performs well in healthcare, creative tasks, and software generation.
Offers improved safety, more transparent decision-making, and better filtering of unsafe queries.
For the GCC Region
For developers, businesses, and governments in the Gulf, GPT-5 opens the door to more efficient, scalable, and intelligent solutions — from automating public services to building region-specific AI tools with better accuracy and safety.
“This is not just a new model — it’s a step closer to truly intelligent systems that can do real work,” says Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI.
GPT-5 is now live and part of the growing AI ecosystem reshaping how we work, code, research, and interact.
