On August 7, 2025, OpenAI officially announced the release of GPT-5, the latest and most powerful version of the AI model behind ChatGPT. The company promises a significant leap in speed, accuracy, and human-like interaction, positioning GPT-5 as a major step towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

Unlike previous releases, GPT-5 will be available to all users, including those on free accounts, making it the first reasoning model from OpenAI accessible without a subscription—although usage limits will apply.
