We are going to double GPT-5 rate limits for ChatGPT Plus users as we finish rollout.
We will let Plus users choose to continue to use 4o. We will watch usage as we think about how long to offer legacy models for.
GPT-5 will seem smarter starting today. Yesterday, the autoswitcher broke and was out of commission for a chunk of the day, and the result was GPT-5 seemed way dumber. Also, we are making some interventions to how the decision boundary works that should help you get the right model more often.
We will make it more transparent about which model is answering a given query.
We will change the UI to make it easier to manually trigger thinking.
Rolling out to everyone is taking a bit longer. It’s a massive change at big scale. For example, our API traffic has about doubled over the past 24 hours…
We will continue to work to get things stable and will keep listening to feedback. As we mentioned, we expected some bumpiness as we roll out so many things at once. But it was a little more bumpy than we hoped for!
All these announces are scenery and promotion. Very low chance any of these "corrections" were not planned. For some reason, sama et al. make me feel like a mouse played with by a cat.
Why on earth would they undercut the launch of their new model by "planning" to do a stunt where people demand the old models instead of the new models?
