GPT-5 will be released in two versions, a "pro" model which will only be accessible to paid subscribers, and the basic GPT-5, which will actually be available to everyone, even those on ChatGPT's free plan. Plus subscribers will get more usage, OpenAI said.
Interestingly, OpenAI won't explicitly make which model ChatGPT is using available to ChatGPT users. An interesting feature of the new GPT-5 is a "real-time router" which will assign a model based on the query the user asks. If you use the terms "think hard about this," ChatGPT might see it as a signal that a more complex model needs to be used. One "efficient" model may be used for most questions, with a deeper, thinking model available if needed. Apparently, there's a "mini" version as well that will kick in if a user exceeds the usage rates.
"We've made significant advances in reducing hallucinations, improving instruction following, and minimizing sycophancy, while leveling up GPT-5's performance in three of ChatGPT's most common uses: writing, coding, and health," OpenAI said in a blog post.
One area of expertise is coding, where ChatGPT and GPT-5 can now create entire websites and games with just a single prompt, OpenAI said, while surpassing many of its previous levels of expertise in health, too. Our sister site, TechCrunch, has a lot more on GPT-5.

Warner Bros. Discovery streaming CEO JB Perette, who's in charge of HBO Max, told investors this week that the streamer's "soft" approach with password-sharing users will get "much more aggressive" in the months to come, according to Deadline.
Perette has long been insisting that HBO Max will get serious with password sharers. He issued a similar warning in May following Warner Bros. Discovery's first-quarter 2025 earnings report, and he took the opportunity to repeat the promise during the company's second-quarter conference call with investors.
Getting a tad more specific, Perette added that HBO Max has gained the ability to tell "who's a legitimate user [and] who may not be a legitimate user," thus allowing the streamer to ensure it's "putting the net in the right place," the Deadline report says.
Perette added that HBO Max's efforts to curb password sharing will ramp up "in a much more aggressive faction" in the final quarter of 2025.
Earlier this year, HBO Max (back when it was still just "Max") rolled out a way for subscribers to pay an additional charge for "extra members" outside their households. The cost is $7.99 a month for each "extra member" add-on slot, the same as what Netflix charges its own members to share their accounts.
