I was not paid by OpenAI. I was just given access to the model in advance to try it out and share my honest thoughts. Read my full review (find it in my feed). you’ll see that I’m not 100% happy with the model. But it is really great at some things!

GPT-5 Launch: Cost, Speed, Context Impact for Leaders
By
–
GPT-5 launched yesterday. I had early access and here’s what stood out to me, and how I’d be thinking about it as a business leader right now. Three words: Cost. Speed. Context. Cost → Cheaper than o3, way cheaper if you use Nano/Mini. I do not recommend slashing budgets.

OpenAI API Compatibility Breaking Affects Research Projects
By
–
The APIs remain but the locus of use for OpenAI has been the ChatGPT interface. I have a whole prompt library for previous models, now I don’t know which ones work. People had research projects, school assignments & training programs built around them. So weird to break them all.

OpenAI retires GPT models without warning breaking user workflows
By

Suddenly retiring every other model without warning was a weird move by OpenAI. … and they did it without explaining how switching models worked or even details of various GPT-5 models …and they did it when everyone has built workflows around older models, breaking them all.
