I might have spoken too fast. For some tasks amazing, for others is a pain. The worst thing is that OpenAI has removed the previous models so we have no choice.... let's see how things will develop over the next few days

#GPT5 is out. Superslow but the level of detail that gives is impressive at least as judged from initial accidental (I had not noticed it was rolled out as I was working on custom GPTs) use!

Hard-working and smart, nothing else defines a #scientist or an #engineer. A scientist, an engineer, is someone like you. If you are considering a path in science or technology, know this: your ideas belong here because our #superpower is you!
