"GPT-5 achieves state-of-the-art performance on a number of AI benchmarks, according to OpenAI’s internal tests, but it is far from a clean sweep: On a few tests, competing products such as Google Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, and xAI’s Grok outperform, or are just barely below the level of, OpenAI’s new top model. The GPT-5 announcement video and launch page also contained a number of errors—incorrect labels, numbers and colors that made no sense, and missing entries on charts—that made the program’s precise abilities, and the trustworthiness of OpenAI’s reporting, hard to discern (and led some observers to joke that perhaps GPT-5 itself had made, or hallucinated, the graphics). Yet that may not matter. OpenAI’s animating theme for GPT-5 is user experience, not “intelligence”: Its new model is intuitive, fast, and efficient; adapts to human preferences and intentions; and is easy to personalize."
