On August 7th, OpenAI officially launched GPT-5—and it’s more than just an upgrade. This release brings adaptive AI, deep reasoning, personalization, and tight Microsoft integration across 365, GitHub, VS Code, and Azure.

In this episode, we break down:

New architecture – Real-time model switching between Standard, Thinking, and Pro

Performance benchmarks – From SWE-bench to HealthBench Hard

Error reduction – 45% fewer mistakes vs GPT-4o, 80% better reasoning than o3

Personalization – Custom styles, study mode, Gmail/Calendar integration

Safety upgrades – Red-team tested, layered threat detection, stricter guardrails
