OpenAI launches new GPT-5 model for all ChatGPT users

cnbc.com Ashley Capoot 2026-01-15 22:44:36

"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.
