OpenAI released GPT-5 on Thursday to both free users of ChatGPT and paying subscribers.

ChatGPT reaches 700 million weekly users as OpenAI prepares to launch GPT-5 with integrated reasoning capabilities in August 2025.

Speculation on GPT-5’s capabilities includes improved overall efficiency, increased problem-solving and logic-based decision-making.

The much-hyped release makes several enhancements to the ChatGPT user experience. But it’s still far short of AGI.
