The interesting part about this OpenAI new model is that it can act as a real-time router, which means that it can decide on its own what details and information to use according to the conversation type, or the tools needed. This real-time router will be continuously trained based on users’ actions, such as switching models or preferences for responses. Because it is such a powerful model, OpenAI still offers a usage limit for users, so when this limit is reached, the AI model will provide the responses as a mini version, which still remains powerful but maybe with some boundaries.
“Having something like GPT-5 would be pretty much unimaginable at any previous time in history,” the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, stated.
It’s important to know that the new GPT-5 AI model is already available for all free and paid ChatGPT users, so you don’t need to worry about having to pay a subscription fee to try it for yourself. The reason behind this choice is the fact that the OpenAI company is trying to make powerful reasoning models free for users, because even users who don’t pay a subscription deserve to use a powerful model for their everyday tasks.
“This is just one of the ways that I’m excited to live the mission, making sure that this stuff actually benefits people,” Nick Turley, the VP of ChatGPT from OpenAI, stated when asked about the reason behind this great decision.
According to the company’s statement, it seems that GPT-5 is the most powerful coding model, because it features different front-end and debugging capabilities. So, if you are a coding enthusiast who always wants to test the AI models, this one is for you. You can create with the new OpenAI model different responsive apps, websites, and even games that can be played, using just a single detailed prompt.
For developers, OpenAI has released the GPT-5 model in three different 3 sizes in the API. So, in order to test and benefit from its performance, GPT-5 can be accessed in three different versions: GPT-5, GPT-5 mini, and GPT-5 nano.
In ChatGPT, the new OpenAI model represents a reasoning system, while for the API platform, it represents a model that handles maximum performance.
The pricing for the three versions differs for each model:
- GPT-5 costs $1,25 for 1M input tokens, and for the 1M output tokens costs $10.
- GPT-5 mini costs $0.25 for 1M input tokens while being priced at $2 for 1M output tokens.
- GPT-5 nano is priced at $0.05 per 1M input tokens and $0.40 for 1M output tokens.
