ChatGPT gets a major upgrade with GPT-5

Technology Aug 10, 2025

OpenAI just rolled out GPT-5, its newest and most advanced AI model, now available to all ChatGPT users—even if you're on the free plan.
It's designed to be sharper and more reliable, with way fewer random "hallucinations" (those weird, made-up answers).
OpenAI says this upgrade will make chatting with AI smoother for everyone.

Open-weight models for local use

Alongside GPT-5, OpenAI launched GPT-OSS—two privacy-friendly models you can run right on your laptop without sending data to the cloud.
These open-weight models are all about giving users more control over their info.
With these launches, OpenAI is doubling down on making powerful AI both accessible and safe for everyone.
