OpenAI Officially Launches GPT-5 as Default Model for All ChatGPT Users
OpenAI has released GPT-5, now the default model across all ChatGPT users, including those on the free tier. Designed to be the company’s most dependable and accurate system to date, GPT-5 focuses on instruction following, long-form reasoning, and real-world problem-solving.
While free users receive standard access, paid subscribers enjoy higher usage limits, and Pro users benefit from GPT-5 Pro — an enhanced version tailored for complex tasks. Notably, GPT-5 dramatically reduces factual inaccuracies and performs strongly on advanced benchmarks, such as coding challenges and legal analysis.
The model adjusts the depth of its responses based on prompt complexity and features substantial improvements in safety, code generation, and multimodal input handling.
