GPT5 is launched with much fanfare but there are issues

GPT‑5, launched on August 7, 2025, represents a major leap in AI capability.

It replaces GPT‑4o, GPT‑4.5, GPT‑4.1, o3, and earlier variants, although many users are not happy with the lack of choice.

This unified model is supposed to intelligently direct tasks based on complexity using fast responses for routine queries and deeper reasoning when required.

Performance Highlights

• Math (AIME): ~99.6% accuracy (more on this ability, later).

• Coding:

• 74.9% on SWE‑bench Verified

• 88% on Aider Polyglot with reasoning enabled

• Multimodal text + image: ~84.2% (MMMU benchmark).

• Roughly 45% fewer mistakes/hallucinations compared to predecessors.

How business could use GPT5 - from Open AI documentation

Efficiency & UX

• Response workloads cost 50–80% fewer tokens, meaning quicker, more cost-effective outputs. This lower pricing could be helpful for indie hackers to infuse AI into their solutions.

• The company documentation states that the interaction feels more natural—“like talking to a smart teammate”.

• The real-time router automatically routes queries to the most suitable processing mode, removing user decision overhead.

Enterprise Integration

• Available across platforms: ChatGPT (free, Plus, Pro), OpenAI API, Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, Copilot Studio.

• Microsoft added “Smart Mode” to its Copilot ecosystem; the system chooses when to use fast or deep reasoning automatically. Is anyone actually using Copilot?

• Enterprise use cases include deep reasoning over emails, documents, RFP analysis, and agentic workflows—no manual model switching required. This is where my company is studying use cases for our clients.

But it is a little Buggy!

When I tested GPT5 out, it did make a few glaring mistakes in algebra- see image below. I am sure it will be fixed eventually, but these kind of mis-steps do sully the reputation of Open AI!
