OpenAI officially releases GPT-5

OpenAI announced the release of its most advanced artificial intelligence model to date, GPT-5, on Thursday, the culmination of more than two years of development and numerous setbacks and delays. CEO Sam Altman stated in a Wednesday conference call with reporters that using the new technology "literally feels like talking to a PhD-level expert in a field." He emphasized that the model enables anyone to create software applications using only simple English prompts—a process often referred to as "vibe coding."
