I've enabled GPT-5 in Copilot settings in the browser, but it's not showing up in VS Code. Anyone seeing it in VS Code yet?

Watching the livestream now, the improvement over their current models on the benchmarks is very small. I know they seemed to be trying to temper our expectations leading up to this, but this is much less improvement than I was expecting

The hallucination benchmarks did show major improvement. We know existing benchmarks are nearly useless at this point. It's reliability that matters more.

It is frequently suggested that once one of the AI companies reaches an AGI threshold, they will take off ahead of the rest. It's interesting to note that at least so far, the trend has been the opposite: as time goes on and the models get better, the performance of the different company's gets clustered closer together. Right now GPT-5, Claude Opus, Grok 4, Gemini 2.5 Pro all seem quite good across the board (ie the…

I think you're reading way too much into OpenAI bungling its 15-month product lead, but also the whole "1 AGI company will take off" prediction is bad anyway, because it assumes governments would just let that happen. Which they wouldn't, unless the company is really really sneaky or superintelligence happens in the blink of an eye.

Governments react at a glacial pace to new technological developments. They wouldn't so much as 'let it happen' as that it had happened and they simply never noticed it until it was too late. If you are betting on the government having your back in this then I think you may end up disappointed.

Very generic, broad and bland presentation. Doesn't seem to have any killer features. No video or audio capabilities shown. The coding seems to be on par with Claude 3.7 at best. No mention of MCP which is about the most important thing in AI right now IMO. Not impressed.

It's hidden in the doc. It MCP support!!! has https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/gpt-5

OpenAI taking a page out of Apple's book and only comparing against themselves

Unlike Apple, OpenAI doesn't have nearly the same moat. The Chinese labs are going to eat their lunch at this rate.

* or governments fail to look far enough ahead, due to a bunch of small-minded short-sighted greedy petty fools.

Seriously, our government just announced it's slashing half a billion dollars in vaccine research because "vaccines are deadly and ineffective", and it fired a chief statistician because the president didn't like the numbers he calculated, and it ordered the destruction of two expensive satellites because they can observe politically inconvenient climate change. THOSE are the people you are trusting to keep an eye on the pace of development inside of private, secretive AGI companies?

I did a little test that I like to do with new models: "I have rectangular space of dimensions 30x30x90mm. Would 36x14x60mm battery fit in it, show in drawing proof". GPT5 failed spectacularly.
