GPT-5

FrontierAvailable in FlowHunt

GPT-5 is a top-tier frontier AI model, developed by OpenAI and released in August 2025. It is a proprietary closed-weight model, available through the OpenAI API. It supports a 400K-token context window, adequate for most documents and multi-turn applications.

On the FlowHunt AI Leaderboard it is one of 24 tracked models, evaluated across 2 benchmarks. Standout scores: 88.4% on GPQA Diamond (#7 of 14); 74.9% on SWE-bench Verified (#10 of 13).

GPT-5 was released on August 7, 2025 as OpenAI’s first model to self-report above-human performance on several hard reasoning benchmarks. It was the first GPT to integrate text, image, and audio input as a unified capability at the reasoning level rather than through a pipeline of specialised models. GPT-5 set the foundation for the current frontier tier: its 400K context window was, at release, the longest available from OpenAI; its coding improvement over GPT-4o was significant enough to displace a large portion of Codex-based and GPT-4o-based development tooling. The launch drove the fastest acceleration in GPT API adoption since ChatGPT’s debut in 2022.

Note: Unified model replacing GPT-4o, o3, o4-mini, GPT-4.1. AIME 2025: 94.6%.

OpenAI was founded in December 2015 as a nonprofit AI research laboratory by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, John Schulman, and Wojciech Zaremba, with the mission of developing artificial general intelligence (AGI) that benefits all of humanity. In 2019 it created a capped-profit subsidiary, OpenAI LP, to raise institutional capital and scale model training. The company is known for the GPT series of language models (GPT-1 through GPT-5.5), the DALL-E image generation series, Whisper speech recognition, and Sora video generation. OpenAI operates the ChatGPT consumer application, a developer API, and enterprise services through Microsoft Azure. As of 2026 it maintains a close strategic partnership with Microsoft, which is the company's largest investor and cloud provider.
