ChatGPT said: GPT-5 Is Here and It’s Free for Everyone
OpenAI has launched GPT-5, their first “unified” AI model. It combines the reasoning abilities of its o-series models with the fast responses of its GPT series.
Details:
GPT-5 is now the default for all ChatGPT users and replaces all other models like GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, and GPT-4.5 in the model picker.
The new model uses a router that automatically switches to a reasoning version for more complex queries or if you tell it to “think hard,” eliminating the need to switch models.
GPT-5 is much better at processing complex and descriptive prompts when creating an app or website, surpassing Claude Opus and Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro in coding benchmarks like SWE-Bench Verified (74.9%).
It also edges out other leading AI models in key benchmarks like math, humanities, and writing, while being more accurate and suffering far fewer hallucinations.
OpenAI is also adding four personality themes to ChatGPT to customize how it responds: “Cynic,” “Robot,” “Listener,” and “Nerd.”
For developers accessing GPT-5 via OpenAI’s API, the model will come in three versions at different costs: GPT-5, GPT-5 mini, and GPT-5 nano.
While the model is “free” for everyone, it comes with usage limits for free users (up to 10 messages every 5 hours). After hitting the usage cap, they’ll have access to GPT-5 mini. Plus users have higher usage limits, while Pro subscribers will have unlimited access to GPT-5 as well as a souped-up version called GPT-5 Pro, which uses additional computational resources to produce better answers.
The Google Finance Page Gets an AI Makeover
Google is refreshing Google Finance, its page that provides financial information and business news, with new AI tools. Users will now be able to research their financial questions with AI, access advanced charting tools, and get real-time data and news.
Details:
Users can ask questions about finance and get a comprehensive AI response with links to sources.
The new charting tools “will help you visualize financial data beyond simple asset performance,” with options to view technical indicators or display candlestick charts.
Google Finance is also getting additional market data, including more cryptocurrencies, and will display an “up-to-the-minute” live news feed to help you keep track of what’s affecting today’s market.
These changes are rolling out over the coming weeks in the U.S., and users will have the option to toggle between the new and classic experiences.
