🍭 GPT-5: FULL BREAKDOWN 📰

Thoughts from yesterday's OpenAI livestream and NEW MODEL DROP!

Good morning. Eder gave the intern access to his GPT account.

He didn’t take lunch.
Don’t even think he went home…

“I’m testing GPT-5 bro…”

Let’s dig in.

🍭 What’s Cookin’:

  • GPT-5 Launch Day Deep Dive

  • Steal This Prompt™: Translucent Product Shots

  • MAJOR Snack Prompt update

OpenAI releases GPT-5
🤯 GPT-5 Drop. As Wild as You’ve Heard?

“Today, finally, we are launching GPT-5 … a major upgrade over GPT-4o and a significant step toward AGI.”

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman

The Bite:

OpenAI just dropped GPT-5, and this wasn’t a subtle “point-five” release.

This was a ‘we’ve been holding our breath for two years and here’s the oxygen mask’ kind of day.

Some quick reality checks:

  • 700M people now use ChatGPT every week

  • That’s roughly 1 in 11 humans

  • Now all of them (including free-tier users) get a taste of GPT-5’s brains

Sam Altman framed it as “software on demand” and “a PhD-level expert in your pocket” — not just chat, but full-on do the thing mode.

Agentic vibes anyone??

Snacks:

  1. Reasoning without speed tax

    1. Past models made you pick: fast but shallow, or slow but thoughtful.

    2. GPT-5 just… thinks the “perfect amount” for the question at hand.

  2. Expert mode unlocked

    1. They’re literally marketing this as moving from college-student (GPT-4o) to PhD-level expert (GPT-5).

    2. And early benchmarks back it:

      1. SWEBench (real-world software engineering) → new record

      2. AIME 2025 math → top tier

      3. MMMU visual reasoning → beats most human experts

  3. Reliability gains

    1. Hallucinations are down big, thanks to new truthfulness evals and “safe completion”:

      1. Partial answers with safety context instead of flat refusals.

Product News // ‘What You Get in ChatGPT’

  • Memory: Connect Gmail + Google Calendar, get personal scheduling + drafting

  • Everything works: File/image uploads, Python, image gen, Canvas, custom instructions

Demos That Made People Gasp:

  • Bernoulli effect physics lesson → Instant SVG animation + code

  • Language learning game → Built in minutes: flashcards, quizzes, and a “mouse eats cheese” French vocab game

  • Finance dashboard → CFO-grade Next.js app, self-debugging build errors

  • 3D castle game → Cannons, NPC chat, balloon mini-game — from a text prompt

For The Devs:

  • If o3 was “good at coding,” GPT-5 is agentic at it. Better than Claude?

  • Three sizes in the API: GPT-5, mini, nano (nano is 25× cheaper)

  • Minimal reasoning mode for ultra-low latency

  • Custom tool calls with regex/grammar constraints

  • 400K-token context (2× GPT-4o)

  • State-of-the-art on new multi-turn tool-calling benchmarks

Flagship Use-Cases

  • Enterprise: Amgen (drug design), BBVA (financial analysis), Oscar Health (clinical reasoning), U.S. federal rollout to 2 M employees

  • Education: Voice “Study Mode” for guided learning sessions

Rollout

  • Yesterday (Aug 7, 2025) — US & most markets, all tiers

  • Next week — Enterprise, EDU, EU rollout

  • API — Available now, all sizes, new pricing live

Why It Bites:

OpenAI hinted at recursive training — models helping train the next generation — as the next progress engine.

Benchmarks are “nearing saturation,” so the focus shifts to real-world utility and long-running AI agents.

“Pretty soon, anyone will be able to do more than anyone in history could — with an on-demand expert team in your pocket.”

Sam Altman

For us, we’re most excited about what this will open up in terms ACTUAL use cases for AI agents in the very near future.

So in the coming days, we’ll be doing some proper tests, reading what the critics are saying, and bringing all that info back to you.

Go have a snack, anon. 🍭
