OpenAI launched GPT‑5 (Aug 7), pitching a faster, more intuitive ChatGPT that auto‑adjusts its “reasoning” per task and consolidates earlier models—many now retired. It’s free with usage limits and adds personalization (themes, preset personalities) plus Gmail and Google Calendar access. OpenAI touts state‑of‑the‑art results, though not universally; launch materials had errors.
