OpenAI presented a few days ago its new version ChatGPT -5, the model most advanced that they have created so far.
A release that left some excited and so disappointed to others, without that WOW effect that many expected after the latest moves by Google with Gemini.
Even so, Sam Altman and his team assure us that ChatGPT -5 is so intelligent that it is like having a group ofpoints that are worth highlighting.
1. Advances in programming
More than half of the presentation focused on improvements to make programming and creating applications faster and easier. GPT-5 can generate, debug, and optimize code with much greater precision, helping both developers and people with no programming experience.
Until now, Anthropic with Claude was strong in this field, but the demos from ChatGPT -5 showed capabilities very competitive for the environment B2B, a market that OpenAI wants to conquer with force.
2. Reasoning improved
GPT-5 now excels at visual, mathematical, and logical reasoning, and has a better understanding of programming languages and complex engineering tasks.
In various tests, it surpassed scores from previous versions and even improved its ability to provide assistance to users with disabilities.
Results in tests of reasoning and performance:
It also greatly reduced hallucinations (when AI invents data). OpenAI has not given an exact percentage, but it claims that it is a very a very significant, making the answers much more reliable.

3. Integration of models and access for everyone
Good news: GPT-5 is available to all users, including free users. That is true, with certain limitations:
✅ Free plan: 10 messages every 5 hours.
✅ Plus Plan: 80 messages every 3 hours.
Furthermore, you no longer have to choose which model to use. ChatGPT automatically selects the most appropriate version—full, thinking, mini, or nano. – based on your question, although in paid payment plans you can select one manually if you want, this makes the use more efficient and simple.

4. New Thinking Mode for answers more in-depth
GPT-5 introduces a special mode called Thinking Mode, which allows it to ‘think’ longer before responding. This greatly improves the quality of complex questions, such as advanced programming, analysis, or technical problem solving.
Previously, ChatGPT responded quickly but sometimes sacrificed accuracy. Now, in this mode, it evaluates more options and reduces errors. This mode is available without limits on Plus and Pro plans, and in the free version it can be used to a lesser extent depending on system load.
GPT-5 is not a revolution, but it is a solid step toward smarter, more versatile, and more accessible AI. Perhaps not everyone was surprised, but OpenAI continues to refine the tool to make it more useful for both casual and professional users.
