Big AI news today — GPT-5 has officially launched, and it’s a major change for ChatGPT users. Here’s what you need to know: 📅 When & Who Gets It - Rolling out starting today to Team and Pro accounts. - Plus accounts: expected next in the rollout window (OpenAI says “coming weeks”). - Enterprise/Edu: staged rollout to follow. - Free tier: not today—will arrive later in the broader rollout once the switch to the new default completes. - Free for everyone — from the free tier all the way up to the $200 Pro plan - GPT-5 is now the only model in ChatGPT — no more model picker or “thinking model” options 🆕 Key Changes - All tools rolled into one model — browsing, custom instructions, Canvas, code interpreter, etc. - Automatically decides when to “think” longer or just give a quick answer - Claimed fewer hallucinations and less deceptive answers - More emotionally resonant responses (think higher EQ, better tone) - Deep thinking mode only for the $200 Pro plan - New integrations coming soon: Gmail and Calendar connectors (Plus & Pro plans only) - Voice mode for custom GPTs 💡 Why It Matters For free users, this is a huge leap — you now get the flagship model with all the tools in one place. For power users, it’s an incremental but welcome upgrade: cleaner workflow, stronger base model, and no more juggling different model types. Have you tried GPT-5 yet? What’s the first thing you want to test it on?

With vacation just around the corner, I needed to clear out the fridge. Instead of guessing, I took a photo of the ingredients I had and asked ChatGPT: “Can you suggest a recipe based on what’s here?” It came back with a brilliant idea—and it actually worked! See the before and after pics below 👇 This is just one of the many ways I’ve found ChatGPT useful beyond work. Have you ever tried this—asking for a recipe, a travel plan, or something fun? 👇 Let me know what you’ve used it for outside your usual day-to-day!
