It also hallucinates less, the company said, and “minimizes sycophancy.” (How reassuring.) It seems particularly strong on coding skills, health, and assisting you in creative writing — with or without an em-dash! You can read more about how OpenAI thinks GPT-5 is great in the company press release. The model is available to Plus, Pro, Team, and Free users, with different usage models depending on what you pay.

Apple, of course, provides integration with ChatGPT via Apple Intelligence, which sends requests to OpenAI’s system when Apple can’t handle them alone. Within this integration, users are warned if they are about to use the third-party AI service. Apple has also built in privacy protection so if you use ChatGPT through Apple Intelligence, OpenAI shouldn’t store requests and your IP address should be obscured. If you pay for ChatGPT access, then the service’s own privacy promises apply.

Apple continues to develop its own AI

While Apple has extended support to the new ChatGPT model, it continues to invest in developing its own more targeted AI solutions.
