OpenAI has unveiled GPT-5, a large language model that the company claims achieves human-level performance across a broad range of cognitive tasks. The system demonstrates novel capabilities in scientific reasoning, creative problem-solving, and long-term planning that have sparked intense debate about the proximity of artificial general intelligence.

Independent researchers who tested GPT-5 confirmed its substantial improvements over GPT-4, particularly in tasks requiring multi-step reasoning and integration of information across domains. However, they cautioned against claims of true general intelligence.

The model is initially available only to select enterprise partners and researchers as OpenAI evaluates safety implications.
