We have said before that AI is not going away… and so David wanted to introduce the newest form of Chat GPT from OpenAI… Chat GPT-5:
OpenAI has officially launched GPT-5, the latest evolution of its flagship language model—and it’s already making waves. CEO Sam Altman calls it “a significant step along the path to AGI,” though he’s careful to note that it doesn’t quite reach artificial general intelligence. Still, GPT-5 is smarter, faster, and more capable than any model before it.
So what’s new?
Smarter, Faster, More Human
GPT-5 feels like a leap forward in conversational AI. Altman likened the jump from GPT-4 to GPT-5 to the iPhone’s upgrade to Retina display—suddenly, everything feels sharper. He described it as “talking to an expert in any topic, like a PhD-level expert.”
The model boasts a 256,000-token context window, meaning it can handle longer conversations, documents, and code without losing track. It also hallucinates less, thanks to improved safety mechanisms and better instruction-following.
