OpenAI Launches ChatGPT-5 with Mind-Blowing New Features

OpenAI on Thursday unveiled GPT-5, its latest AI model powering ChatGPT, promising broader access and stronger enterprise features.

The model will roll out to all 700 million ChatGPT users, showcasing improvements in software development, writing, health queries, and financial analysis. CEO Sam Altman described GPT-5 as a “PhD-level expert” capable of “software on demand” through a feature dubbed vibe coding, which generates complete programs from text prompts.

While early reviews praise its coding, science, and math skills, some note the leap from GPT-4 is smaller than past upgrades. GPT-5 also introduces public access to test-time compute, allowing extra processing power for complex reasoning tasks. However, it still cannot learn autonomously.

The launch comes as tech giants — including backer Microsoft — plan to spend nearly US$400 billion on AI data centers this fiscal year. Analysts warn that enterprise adoption lags behind strong consumer use.

OpenAI is reportedly in talks to let staff sell shares at a US$500 billion valuation, up from US$300 billion, as top AI talent commands bonuses up to US$100 million. Altman stressed the need for global AI infrastructure to overcome data scarcity and keep advancing capabilities.
