OpenAI has announced GPT-5 in three variants: GPT-5 Pro, GPT-5 mini, and GPT-5 nano. Some of the models will be available across all ChatGPT, including for free users. OpenAI claims the new model family comes with reduced confabulations, improved coding capabilities, and a new approach to handling sensitive requests. Free users now have access to a simulated reasoning AI model. GPT-5 Pro is replacing o3-pro in ChatGPT for those subscriber tiers with access to it.

  • Coding: 74.9% (crushes Gemini 2.5 Pro at 59.6%).

  • Science Q&A: 89.4% (beats Claude Opus 4.1 at 80.9%, Grok 4 Heavy at 88.9%).

  • Healthcare accuracy: Hallucination rate 1.6% (vs. GPT-4o’s 12.9%, o3’s 15.8%).

  • Extended reasoning: 42% on Humanity’s Last Exam (under Grok 4 Heavy’s 44.4%).

Investors have historically turned to gold because of its stability. Gold can act like a safety net in your portfolio because its value tends to stay afloat – even when the stock market dives. It’s also considered a hedge against inflation, meaning its value can rise as the buying power of cash goes down. Check out our list of top-rated Gold IRA providers, including some that offer educational materials for gold-investing beginners.

Google DeepMind just open-sourced an upgraded version of Perch, an AI model that helps scientists analyze massive amounts of wildlife audio, making it easier to track endangered species in diverse environments. Perch can now handle a wider range of species and environments, from forests to coral reefs, using twice the training data of the version released in 2023.

Elon Musk has told advertisers that his social media platform, X, will start including ads, as suggestions, in AI chatbot, Grok, responses, following the shock exit of his CEO, Linda Yaccarion, last month. According to Musk, now that he has “largely succeeded” in making Grok “the smartest, most accurate AI in the world,” it’s now time for him to focus on “how to pay for those expensive GPUs.”

And with the launch of GPT-5 comes the launch of GPT-5 in Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, GitHub Copilot, and more Microsoft products. The new smart mode in Copilot allows the AI assistant to switch between models for deeper reasoning or quick responses based on the task.

AI Tutorial

Create personalized, illustrated storybooks about anything

With Gemini’s new “Storybook” feature, you can generate 10-page stories, each with a short paragraph of text that Gemini can read aloud, along with an illustration.

Here’s how:

  1. Go to http://gemini.google

  2. In the prompt bar, ask Gemini to make a storybook about any topic.

For example: “Create a storybook that explains the solar system to my 5-year-old.”

  1. You can also customize your story by asking Gemini to use specific art styles, such as ones inspired by claymation, anime, comics, and more.

  2. Optionally, you can upload your own photos or other images for Gemini to reference.

  3. Wait a few seconds for your storybook to be created. Press the Listen button to have the AI read it aloud (you can choose between higher- or lower-pitched voices), or share it.
