Unleash GPT-5 from OpenAI immediately: A step-by-step guide for users
August 7, 2025, marks the beginning of a new era for ChatGPT users as the highly anticipated GPT-5 model is now available to everyone.
The new model, announced during OpenAI's livestream, is the smartest, fastest, and most useful version yet. It's designed to provide the best answer for every prompt, making your interactions with ChatGPT even more seamless and productive.
Starting today, GPT-5 is the default model for all signed-in users, replacing previous models like GPT-4o and others. The rollout is immediate and includes free users, as you can start testing it right away by visiting ChatGPT.com and entering your prompts.
While the rollout is underway, it's important to note that the process may take some time to reach all users, especially Enterprise and Education customers, who will gain access within the following week.
In addition, GPT-5 Pro, a version with enhanced reasoning capabilities, will be made available soon to Team, Enterprise, and Edu customers.
The launch of GPT-5 has not been affected by the lawsuit filed against OpenAI by Ziff Davis in April, alleging copyright infringement in training and operating its AI systems.
To celebrate the launch, the ChatGPT homepage now displays a message introducing GPT-5: "Introducing GPT-5: ChatGPT now has our smartest, fastest, most useful model yet, with thinking built in - so you get the best answer, every time."
OpenAI updated its website with information about the new model, including a "Try now" button, making it easy for users to start exploring the capabilities of GPT-5.
As of initial testing at 1:55 p.m. ET, GPT-5 had not been released yet. However, by the time this article was published, GPT-5 was live and ready for all ChatGPT users to enjoy.
