New Features and Improvements

OpenAI says GPT 5 gives more accurate and faster answers, with big upgrades in reasoning ability. One key improvement is a sharp drop in “hallucinations” – when the AI gives wrong or made-up information. It’s also trained to avoid guessing and will clearly tell you if it doesn’t have the answer.

A new “safe completions” feature helps the AI deal with sensitive topics more carefully. Sam Altman noted that GPT 5 is now an integrated model, meaning you no longer need to switch between versions – it decides when to put in extra effort for complex questions.

These improvements also boost tools like DALL·E 3 image generation and web browsing, making them more accurate and secure.

Wider Integration

GPT 5 isn’t just for ChatGPT. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella confirmed it’s already built into Microsoft 365, Copilot, and Azure AI. It’s also being used in platforms like Canva, opening up more creative and business uses.
