OpenAI Launches More Powerful GPT-5 Model for Coding and Writing

OpenAI is rolling out a more powerful and long-awaited new artificial intelligence model called GPT-5, vying to stay ahead of increased competition from rivals in the US and China.

GPT-5, unveiled during a livestreamed event on Thursday, is designed to be more capable of coding and creative writing as well as reasoning through complex queries. In a briefing with reporters this week, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman called it a “major upgrade” from the company’s prior AI models. For “the first time,” he said, “it really feels like talking to an expert in any topic.”
