GPT-5 is here, and Microsoft is integrating it into everything from chatbots to developer tools. Here's what's new, what works, and what to expect.

O penAI officially launched its new GPT-5 models today, and Microsoft is now bringing GPT-5 to Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, GitHub Copilot, and more. It’s part of a big simultaneous release of GPT-5 that will show up in Copilot as the new smart mode that I detailed in Notepad last month.

OpenAI has just released its most powerful GPT-5 model, and it’s rolling out for free in ChatGPT. Meanwhile, Microsoft is also bringing OpenAI’s GPT-5 model for free to Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Azure AI. In fact, GPT-5 is already live in the Copilot app on my Windows 11 PC, accessible via the ‘Smart’ mode.
