OpenAI CEO Sam Altman went so far as to call GPT-5 “the best model in the world.” That may be pride or hyperbole, as TechCrunch’s Maxwell Zeff reports that GPT-5 only slightly outperforms other leading AI models from Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and xAI on some key benchmarks, and slightly lags on others.

OpenAI has launched its long-awaited GPT-5 model.  The model is claimed to be OpenAI's fastest, smartest, and most capable yet. GPT-5 is available to everyone: Free, Plus, Pro, and Team/Enterprise/Edu users.
