ChatGPT's GPT-5 models released: everything you need to know

After a long wait, GPT-5 is finally rolling out. It's available for free, Plus, Pro and Team users today. This means everyone gets to try GPT-5 today, but paid users get higher limits. In a blog post, OpenAI says GPT-5 is a big leap compared to previous models. OpenAI added that GPT-5 is the best coding model, and early benchmarks suggest it beats Opus 4.1 from Claude by a small margin, but real-life benchmarks are awaited. Unlike previous models, GPT-5 has built-in reasoning. It is a unifie

OpenAI Releases GPT-5, Says It's Shutting Down All Previous Models

OpenAI has released its long-awaited GPT-5 AI model, making it free to use for anybody as of today.

Turn your Mac into a local ChatGPT with OpenAI’s new free model

This week, OpenAI released its long-awaited open weight model called gpt-oss. Part of the appeal of gpt-oss is that you can run it locally on your own hardware, including Macs with Apple silicon. Here’s how to get started and what to expect. Models and Macs First, gpt-oss comes in two flavors: gpt-oss-20b and gpt-oss-120b. The former is described as a medium open weight model, while the latter is considered a heavy open weight model. The medium model is what Apple silicon Macs with enough res

OpenAI launches new GPT-5 model for all ChatGPT users

"GPT-5 has been trained to recognize when a task can't be finished, avoid speculation and can explain limitations more clearly, which reduces unsupported claims compared to prior models," said Michelle Pokrass, a post-training lead at OpenAI. Instead of outright refusing to answer users' questions if they are potentially risky, GPT-5 will use "safe completions," OpenAI said. This means the model will give high-level responses within safety constraints that can't be used to cause harm. OpenAI s

GPT-5 is here. Now what?

Whereas o1 was a major technological advancement, GPT-5 is, above all else, a refined product. During a press briefing, Sam Altman compared GPT-5 to Apple’s Retina displays, and it’s an apt analogy, though perhaps not in the way that he intended. Much like an unprecedentedly crisp screen, GPT-5 will furnish a more pleasant and seamless user experience. That’s not nothing, but it falls far short of the transformative AI future that Altman has spent much of the past year hyping. In the briefing, A

Kerry Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Google Pixel 10 is expected to receive significant upgrades this year, including a dedicated telephoto lens.

Free, offline ChatGPT on your phone? Technically possible, basically useless

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Another day, another large language model, but news that OpenAI has released its first open-weight models (gpt-oss) with Apache 2.0 licensing is a bigger deal than most. Finally, you can run a version of ChatGPT offline and for free, giving developers and us casual AI enthusiasts another powerful tool to try out. As usual, OpenAI makes some pretty big claims about gpt-oss’s capabilities. The model can apparently outperform o4-mini and scores quite close to its

OpenAI’s GPT-5 leaks, hinting at better math and coding abilities

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority TL;DR Details about OpenAI’s upcoming GPT-5 model have leaked. GitHub accidentally published details of the upcoming model and its four variants in a blog, which was later withdrawn. The leak points to better reasoning and improved agentic capabilities that may also come to ChatGPT after the model’s release.

The Switch OLED went up in price, but you can still save $110

Nintendo recently made the unexpected decision to increase the prices of its last-gen Switch hardware due to “market conditions,” adding $30 to the cost of the $199.99 Switch Lite, $40 to the standard $299.99 Switch, and $50 to the $349.99 Switch OLED.

Why it matters: These releases re-establish OpenAI as a presence for users of open models. That’s particularly notable at a time when Meta, which had previously dominated the American open-model landscape with its Llama models, ma

Dell Premium 14 review: New name, same great laptop

Every now and then companies make truly boneheaded decisions, which is exactly what happened when Dell killed off the name of its most iconic PC line and replaced it with something generic.

But now that XPS has become Premium, it's time to see if Dell's latest flagship 14-inch ultraportable — the Dell 14 Premium (you see how dumb that sounds?) — still has the DNA that made its predecessor
