In August 2025, OpenAI released GPT‑5, officially launching it on August 7 after extensive red‑team safety testing aimed at minimizing risks while strengthening performance. Offered immediately to ChatGPT users across the Free, Plus, Pro, and Team tiers, and rolling out Enterprise and Education access soon after, GPT‑5 represents a significant evolution in conversational AI. With a unified large‑scale transformer architecture fine‑tuned via reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), it delivers strong reasoning, creative versatility, and enterprise‑grade reliability. Its Pro and API versions support a context window of up to 128,000 tokens — large enough for analyzing extensive documents — and persistent memory across sessions enables smooth continuity for long‑term workflows such as complex legal or coding projects.
