ChatGPT-5 release could face delays due to 'capacity issues' as stated by Sam Altman, impacting all users of the popular AI model.
ChatGPT-5, the highly anticipated AI model from OpenAI, has finally been released on August 7, 2025. The launch, which was initially expected in early August, was delayed but has now been rolled out to ChatGPT Team users, with plans to expand access to ChatGPT Enterprise and Education subscribers by August 14, 2025[3][4].
ChatGPT-5 promises a significant leap in AI capabilities, offering faster responses, fewer hallucinations, and enhanced capabilities such as building apps and providing expert-level assistance across fields like math, science, finance, and law[1][3][4]. The update brings deeper "thinking," better code generation and debugging, improved health-related advice, and more personalised interaction features like selectable personalities, voice improvements, and integration with Gmail and Google Calendar.
The rollout is being carried out in stages, first to Pro users, and then to other subscription tiers. However, details about availability for free users remain unconfirmed[2]. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, outlined the breadth of new features and model improvements during a longer than usual livestream event on August 7[1][2].
While the launch of ChatGPT-5 is met with excitement, some users have expressed concerns. Rhizopus_Nigrians, a serious user who has paid for the Plus subscription since the beginning and has promoted the tool, has complained about the service capping the number of daily image uploads to 30 without notice[5].
Meanwhile, other tech giants are also making moves in the AI market. Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, has hinted at Apple's plans to catch up, and Microsoft is promoting Copilot AI on Bing searches, which some users find tiresome[6].
As ChatGPT-5 settles into its new role, it's clear that it comes with key improvements in accuracy, speed, and resource efficiency[7]. The AI landscape is set for an exciting period of growth and development, with ChatGPT-5 leading the charge.
