DIGITIMES has noted that, in the absence of breakthrough technologies, GPT-5 has primarily focused on optimizing existing features. Key enhancements include expanding the context window to 400,000 tokens, improving reasoning and code generation, reducing hallucination rates, and supporting multimodal processing across text, images, and audio.
The introduction of a "Thinking" mode enables multi-step reasoning and long-form content generation, enhancing accuracy and reliability for complex tasks and making the model more suitable for academic and professional applications.
From a business perspective, GPT-5 has strengthened its role in education, with personalized learning modes that support customizable materials and long-form content. Its low hallucination rate ensures academic reliability, particularly benefiting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and administrative integration, while also driving revenue growth for OpenAI's enterprise customers.
