GPT-5 API

GPT-5 is OpenAI’s latest flagship language model, presented as a unified, multimodal reasoning system that improves on prior generations in reasoning, coding, long-context understanding, and safety-aware outputs. It combines fast non-reasoning components with a deeper reasoning model and a real-time router that selects the best submodel for a task, enabling the system to “know when to think.”

Basic Features

• Multimodality & tooling:: GPT-5 accepts text and images (and is designed to work with external tools and browsing/agents where allowed), and OpenAI highlights improved voice, UI, integrated connectors (e.g., Gmail/Calendar) and agentic workflows.
• Expanded Context Window: Supports up to 1,000,000 tokens, allowing for far longer documents, codebases, or conversation histories .
• Context & limits: 400K token total context window (split implicitly between input and output, with typical splits such as ~272K input + 128K output )

Technical Architecture

GPT-5 is a unified system composed of:

1. A fast non-reasoning model for routine queries.
2. A deep reasoning variant (“GPT-5 Thinking”) for complex problems.
3. A real-time router that dynamically selects the optimal pathway based on prompt complexity, tool requirements, and user intent .

This design leverages parallel test-time compute for GPT-5 Pro, ensuring high-stakes tasks receive the most comprehensive processing available.

Benchmark Performance

• Coding: Achieves 74.9% on SWE-Bench Verified, surpassing prior models by over 5 percentage points and using 22% fewer tokens and 45% fewer tool calls than its predecessor.
• Health: Scores 46.2% on HealthBench Hard, demonstrating significant gains in medical reasoning and patient-focused guidance.
• Factuality: Approximately 80% fewer hallucinations in “thinking” mode compared to OpenAI o3, and 45% fewer factual errors in standard chat mode relative to GPT-4o .
• Multimodal: Excels at analyzing text, images, and video inputs, enhancing visual reasoning and perception.
• Writing: Captures literary rhythm and nuanced structures like free verse or iambic lines more reliably

Model Versions

Limitations

• Not AGI: While a leap forward, GPT-5 still lacks continuous learning and self-improvement outside of retraining cycles .
• Remaining Hallucinations: Despite reduction, verified sources are recommended for critical decisions.
• Compute & Cost: High-performance modes (Pro, Thinking) incur significant token fees and require careful budget management.
