OpenAI officially launched GPT-5 at midnight today (8). CEO Sam Altman provided a live update on X during the launch event, covering the main features, functional upgrades, and future outlook of the new model. Below, we present the original text translation and organization for you. (Background: OpenAI's valuation is $300 billion with an oversubscription of $8.3 billion! Annual revenue of $13 billion and weekly active users surpassing 800 million) Live event) https://www.youtube.com/live/0Uu_VJeVVfo?si=9sZNmbeFaEypiKPt I want to try live-streaming the GPT-5 launch event. First of all, GPT-5 is an integrated model, which means there is no need to switch models; the system will decide when deeper thinking is required. It is extremely intelligent, intuitive, and fast. Everyone can use it, including free users, and it has reasoning capabilities! Evaluation is not the most important aspect; the most important thing is how practical we think this model is — but it also performs excellently in evaluations. For example, it has set new highs in SWE-bench and several other metrics. This is our most reliable and factual model to date. Starting today, it will be available to free, Plus, and Team users, with enterprise and educational users to follow next week. Allowing free users access to this model is significant for us; PhD-level intelligence, available to everyone! Plus users enjoy a higher usage limit. Pro users can use GPT-5 Pro, which is incredibly smart! Showcase time GPT-5 can create interactive content and help explain complex concepts like Bernoulli's effect, producing hundreds of lines of code in minutes. GPT-5's writing capabilities have greatly improved! For instance, here is an elegy written by GPT-4o for our soon-to-be-retired old model, compared to the version by GPT-5. GPT-5 is also skilled at writing software. Here it demonstrates creating a web application for learning French, and it can add features like a snake game with cheese and French vocabulary based on demand. (You should be able to think of more interesting snake game variants — feel free to try and share!) Next is the upgraded voice mode! More natural and smarter. Free users can now chat for extended periods, while Plus users have virtually no limits. It works well with various features, including learning modes. Personalization! A fun little feature: you can now customize the chat colors. The research preview of the 'personality' feature allows for different styles of conversational experiences. The memory function has also become more powerful. It can connect to services like Gmail and Google Calendar for better responses. Safe completions have been launched. This is a new way to maximize practicality while respecting safety boundaries, and it should have significantly fewer disruptions than previous refusals. Seb talks about synthetic data as a new method for building better models! Full of expectations for the future. GPT-5 performs better in health consultation, which is one of the most heavily used categories of ChatGPT. We hope to truly bring help to everyone. Three new models have been added to the API: GPT-5, GPT-5 mini, GPT-5 nano. New features like 'minimal reasoning mode', custom tools, structured output changes, tool invocation prefaces, and verbosity parameters are coming soon. Not only is GPT-5 skilled in software development, but it also performs excellently in various agent-type tasks. Its ability to handle long context is also strong. GPT-5 can actually complete very complex software engineering tasks, far exceeding 'feel-type' coding. The model can build a financial dashboard in 5 minutes, which developers estimate would originally take several hours. Now, Michael Truell joins to share Cursor's experience using GPT-5. He points out that GPT-5 is extremely intelligent but does not sacrifice usability during collaborative programming. A live demonstration fixes issues; he suggests everyone try using it for real work. GPT-5 is the best technology for enterprises to build applications. Over 5 million businesses are using OpenAI; GPT-5 will bring a qualitative leap. Numerous partners, including Amgen, BBVA, Oscar, and the U.S. federal government, are using GPT-5 to accomplish things that were previously unattainable. Pricing plan Now, the most important part: "Our goal is to understand this miracle technology called deep learning." "This is a passionate endeavor." "I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the OpenAI team." "This is just a preliminary glimpse of the future of technology." "We will continue to scale up."
