OpenAI 's newly released GPT-5 isn't just faster or has more parameters; it's the first step into a new era of "unified intelligent systems." This system possesses self-judgment, automatically choosing between a quick response and a deep thinking mode based on the difficulty of a question, achieving a truly dynamic AI-powered intelligent response mechanism.
We have observed that GPT-5 has shown significant improvements in multiple high-frequency application scenarios (including program generation, content writing, and health information interpretation). More importantly, it has begun to possess the ability of "self-awareness" - it can clearly acknowledge tasks it cannot complete and no longer give random answers. This honesty and logical judgment set a new standard for the credibility of knowledge-based AI.
Across multiple test metrics, GPT-5 has achieved new highs in benchmarks such as HealthBench, SWE-bench, and GPQA. It can also accomplish higher-level reasoning tasks with reduced computing resources. For small and medium-sized enterprises, creators, and professional users, GPT-5 is not only smarter, more reliable, and more practical, but more importantly, it is now available to all users, including free users, who can immediately experience its core capabilities.

Test 1: The marketing plan structure is complete but lacks creativity and human touch
GPT-5's overall language generation capabilities have improved, particularly in structured tasks like poetry composition and report drafting, demonstrating greater accuracy and grammatical stability. However, the DotAI team also tested GPT-5 on marketing project development and found that while its output was structurally sound, it lacked creative coherence and tended to be neutral and formulaic, making it inadequate for brand writing and emotional expression.
GPT-5 still lacks a grasp of platform ecosystems and local culture. For example, it has no idea how to use Threads, nor does it understand the Hong Kong market's network ecosystem or its "traffic secrets." These creative areas, which require deep cultural understanding, remain its blind spots.
Test 2 | Generate a test website with one line of command, and also connect to WhatsApp
GPT-5 represents a significant advancement in programming. As demonstrated in the video, it can generate a fully functional interactive website based on a single command, designed to test a user's understanding of a specific topic (such as the "DotAI AI-In-One" course), and handles all aspects, from the front-end interface to integration with external applications.
- With just one sentence, GPT-5 can generate a complete quiz app for a specific topic , as shown in the video. The content is specifically designed to test students' familiarity with AI-In-One courses (such as marketing hours and membership benefits) . This includes core features such as dynamic questions, scoring, and interactive animations.
- Integrate personalized results and sharing features. It not only creates an aesthetically pleasing interface but also integrates practical features. For example, after a quiz is completed, a results page with your score can be automatically generated, and a "WhatsApp Share" button can be triggered to send a message containing the course quiz results .
- The underlying technology behind these applications is its powerful code correction capabilities. GPT-5 has set records in industry tests (SWE-bench) for correcting real-world program errors, demonstrating that the code it produces is not only functionally customized but also more stable and reliable.
Field Test 3 | Game Development Field Test: From Text to Playable "Marketing Game"
This actual test fully demonstrated the amazing leap forward of GPT-5 in the integration of game development and business logic.
I simply asked it to create a simple game, and GPT-5 engaged me like a development partner, first teaching me how to incorporate the course sales message into the game . Once I agreed, it created a complete game, complete with characters and sound effects, in just five minutes. Most importantly, it automatically wrote the marketing message and successfully sent the course coupon , completing the entire sales cycle.
Field Test 4｜Game Development Field Test: From Text to Playable "Marketing Game"
A user requested, "Create a 'DotAI Student Whiteboard' with drawing tools, an eraser, storage capabilities, and the ability to embed a company logo."
Not only does GPT-5 perfectly generate all the required functions, but even when faced with complex instructions, even if the AI gets stuck, it doesn't stop . Instead, it proactively communicates with the user, suggesting, "Let's complete a core function first, then gradually add to it , " guiding the user step by step until the entire application is successfully constructed.
Upgrade 1｜Unified Intelligent System officially launched
GPT-5's biggest technological advancement comes from its newly designed "unified intelligent system" architecture. Unlike previous models (such as GPT-4, GPT-4o, and o3), where users had to select different models, GPT-5 fully integrates all model types, enabling a new interactive experience with automatic judgment. Users no longer need to manually select a model; GPT-5 dynamically switches between three operating modes based on the type and difficulty of the problem:
- 🔹Quick Answer Mode : Faster response, suitable for daily questions and quick information queries.
- 🔹 Deep Thinking Mode (GPT-5 Thinking) : When encountering tasks that require logical reasoning and multi-step processing, the "thinking mode" is automatically turned on.
- 🔹Instant Decision Routing : GPT-5 analyzes question type, content length, and instructional tone (e.g., "Please think deeply") to determine which processing mode to use in real time.
This "built-in judgment" is actually a continuously learning routing system that adjusts itself based on user choices, conversational preferences, and actual usage. For example, if you frequently manually switch to GPT-5 Thinking mode, it will activate the "deep problem-solving" mechanism early, saving you the trouble of resetting it each time.
Upgrade 2｜Health sector performance is more accurate and more relevant to the regional context
GPT-5's performance in the health field is one of the most groundbreaking highlights of this upgrade. According to OpenAI's HealthBench benchmark, GPT-5 significantly improved its accuracy in handling various health questions and can more proactively predict risks, clarify issues, and provide recommendations based on user descriptions.
Unlike previous models, GPT-5 doesn't simply provide a single answer. Instead, it incorporates the user's background, location, and relevant medical advice to provide a more targeted and safe response. It also better identifies potential risks in medical information. If it encounters a question it can't clearly answer, it will proactively point out the information's limitations to avoid misleading or overconfidence.
This proactive "health assistant" role does not replace medical professionals, but rather helps users be more prepared and understand diagnosis and treatment options before interacting with a doctor.
Upgrade 3｜40+ professional tasks beyond expert level
GPT-5 has reached expert-level performance in handling complex, economically valuable knowledge tasks. In recent field tests, GPT-5 has consistently outperformed human practitioners in over 40 professional fields, such as law, logistics, sales, and engineering. In particular, its performance in the advanced GPT-5 Pro mode has been recognized by external experts as "a valuable reference for decision-making assistance."
According to official data, GPT-5 has set new records in metrics such as GPQA (PhD-level Scientific Question Answering), SWE-bench Verified (Software Engineering Bug Fixing), and Humanity's Last Exam (Interdisciplinary Humanities and Science Question Answering). This demonstrates that it not only accurately answers specialized questions but also possesses cross-modal understanding, reasoning, collaboration, and task planning capabilities.
Furthermore, GPT-5 can simultaneously integrate multiple tools (such as search, terminal, and programming editor) to perform multi-step tasks and conditional reasoning, and can flexibly adjust operational processes based on prompts, demonstrating high adaptability in handling highly volatile practical scenarios.
📌 DotAI editor's observation:
GPT-5's advanced reasoning capabilities go beyond simply assisting with report writing and can now meaningfully assist businesses in handling cross-departmental decision-making issues, such as interpreting regulations, analyzing complex quotes, and optimizing supply chains. For knowledge-intensive industries, it is rapidly becoming a significant productivity asset.
Upgrade 4｜The illusion rate is greatly reduced and the credibility of the content is improved
GPT-5 demonstrates significant improvements in security and honesty. Compared to previous AI models that simply refused to answer or provided ambiguous information, GPT-5 employs a new security training strategy, the "Safe Completion Paradigm." When faced with questions with dual-purpose or difficult-to-determine intent, GPT-5 doesn't reject them outright. Instead, it provides partial answers or high-level descriptions, clearly outlining limitations and alternative suggestions.
Furthermore, GPT-5's factual error rate is one-sixth that of GPT-4o when dealing with disinformation and model hallucinations. It can also self-identify when tasks are impossible due to lack of tools or limitations, clearly indicating "This task is impossible" rather than fabricating results. This ability to "speak up if you don't understand, speak up if you don't know" is a first for the GPT family, featuring a genuine response mechanism.
GPT-5 also excels at avoiding excessive pandering. For prompts designed to test the model's ingratiating tendencies, the pandering rate dropped from 14.5% for GPT-4o to under 6% for GPT-5. This makes responses more neutral, professional, and predictable.
📌 DotAI editor's observation:
GPT-5 is no longer just an AI that nods at everything you say. Instead, it proactively points out logical problems, limitations, and even corrects your assumptions. This honesty and awareness is precisely the kind of shift in style that companies are most eager to achieve when introducing AI collaboration.
Upgrade 5｜Reduce pandering and optimize style
GPT-5 addresses the overly flattering and servile nature of previous models , using fewer unnecessary emojis and delivering a more thoughtful conversational experience. Through new evaluation and training methods, the development team significantly reduced the model's tendency to echo while ensuring user satisfaction, resulting in more constructive and professional responses.
In targeted testing, GPT-5's response rate for accommodative responses dropped significantly from 14.5% to below 6%. Furthermore, the new version supports user-defined chat personalities, allowing users to set different response styles, such as calm, robotic, or soothing, based on their needs .
Upgrade 6｜From Free Version to Pro, API Fully Open
While GPT-5 is now fully available to all ChatGPT users, different versions still have significant limitations in practical use. In particular, GPT-5 Thinking (deep reasoning mode) is a resource-intensive function, and its usage is limited by account level:
API Versions and Pricing (per 1 million tokens)
Developers can use the API to access full context support (up to 400K tokens) and adjust parameters such reasoning_effortas (inference depth) and verbosity(output detail) to customize model performance and response style.
Which third-party platforms offer free trials of GPT-5?
In addition to the official ChatGPT platform, there are also several third-party platforms that provide free trial access to GPT-5, such as:
- Microsoft Copilot : Microsoft Copilot now integrates GPT-5 and supports Windows 11, Edge browser, and the entire Microsoft 365 series (including Office documents, etc.).
Perplexity.ai : Perplexity has launched the GPT-5 model, and users can automatically experience GPT-5's advanced reasoning capabilities when asking questions.
GPT-5 is not just a model, but the beginning of a new era of AI collaboration
The launch of GPT-5 signals the evolution of generative AI from a single-point tool to a "partner AI" capable of intelligent decision-making, self-adaptation, and cross-modal understanding. It's no longer just an information provider; it's a collaborative assistant that works with you to advance your work, optimize processes, and inspire creativity.
However, the real key is not how powerful GPT-5 is, but whether we are ready to collaborate with AI and build our own AI operating capabilities and workflows.
