OpenAI has officially launched GPT-5, its most advanced AI model yet, available for free to all users, though unlimited access requires a paid subscription.
The rollout follows a wave of user backlash over the temporary retirement of older models, prompting OpenAI to restore access and address concerns raised by its dedicated fanbase.
Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, champions GPT-5 as a leap forward, capable of providing "PhD-level AI expertise" and significantly reducing risks of misinformation in responses.
With its powerful enhancements in reasoning, problem-solving, and multimodal capabilities, GPT-5 is positioned to reshape various industries, from mental health therapy to software coding.
This launch is crucial in the fierce race for AI supremacy, with OpenAI's valuation projected at a staggering $500 billion, reflecting its dominance and the competitive landscape against tech giants like Google and Anthropic.
As users explore GPT-5's features and performance, the future of AI technology hinges on its success, potentially redefining standards and expectations in the rapidly evolving digital world.
