It Took Just 24 Hours of Complaints for OpenAI to Start Bringing Back Its Old Model

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-12-02 02:10:35

OpenAI unveiled its latest generative AI model, GPT-5, on Thursday. CEO Sam Altman says that ChatGPT is now like having a “superpower” and the equivalent of “a legitimate PhD-level expert in anything, any area you need, on demand, that can help you with whatever your goals are.” But after a day of playing around with it, many people are disappointed. Not only because GPT-5 still fumbles basic questions, but because it seems to be breaking a lot of workflows, according to complaints posted to Red

Apple brings OpenAI’s GPT-5 to iOS and macOS

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-02 02:30:44

OpenAI's GPT-5 model went live for most ChatGPT users this week, but lots of people use ChatGPT not through OpenAI's interface but through other platforms or tools. One of the largest deployments is iOS, the iPhone operating system, which allows users to make certain queries via GPT-4o. It turns out those users won't have to wait long for the latest model: Apple will switch to GPT-5 in iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26, according to 9to5Mac.

OpenAI's GPT-5 is now free for all: How to access and everything else we know

zdnet.com Sabrina Ortiz 2025-12-02 06:27:00

OpenAI ZDNET's key takeaways OpenAI has launched its long-awaited GPT-5 model. The model is claimed to be OpenAI's fastest, smartest, and most capable yet. GPT-5 is available to everyone: Free, Plus, Pro, and Team/Enterprise/Edu users. There are two kinds of OpenAI models in this world: GPT and reasoning models. The advantages of the former, such as GPT-4o, are that they combine speed and accuracy, while reasoning models such as o3 and o4 take longer to think and use more compute power to p

The surprise deprecation of GPT-4o for ChatGPT consumers

news.ycombinator.com Simon Willison 2025-12-02 10:04:26

The surprise deprecation of GPT-4o for ChatGPT consumers I’ve been dipping into the r/ChatGPT subreddit recently to see how people are reacting to the GPT-5 launch, and so far the vibes there are not good. This AMA thread with the OpenAI team is a great illustration of the single biggest complaint: a lot of people are very unhappy to lose access to the much older GPT-4o, previously ChatGPT’s default model for most users. A big surprise for me yesterday was that OpenAI simultaneously retired ac

Former Googlers’ AI startup OpenArt now creates ‘brain rot’ videos in just one click

AI-generated “brain rot” videos are popping up all over the internet and getting a lot of attention. Currently gaining traction among younger users, these clips feature wild characters, like a shark wearing sneakers and a ballerina with a cappuccino for a head. One startup driving this trend is OpenArt, founded by two former Google employees in 2022. It touts around 3 million monthly active users.

OpenAI launches new GPT-5 model for all ChatGPT users

Instead of outright refusing to answer users' questions if they are potentially risky, GPT-5 will use "safe completions," OpenAI said.

There’s a reason almost all cybersecurity guidelines recommend it – Microsoft research suggests that enabling MFA can block over 99% of automated credential-stuffing and phishing attacks. Yet even the best MFA implementations leave a critical gap: weak, reused or compromised passwords. When
