GPT-5 line

OpenAI
closed / Overall score: 5.0(leading)

GPT-5 is OpenAI's general-purpose model line, launched in August 2025 and continued through GPT-5.2, GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5 (April 2026), with low-latency Instant variants and the coding-focused GPT-5.3-Codex. The models are served through the OpenAI API and ChatGPT. GPT-5.6 and the GPT-6 family have since followed.

OpenAI's launch post could not be retrieved, so the capability figures are vendor-reported and unchecked against it.

Proprietary(API + ChatGPT only)

GPT-5 has no downloadable weights, no published training data, and no published training code: it is served only through the OpenAI API and ChatGPT. The later releases, GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.6, and the GPT-6 family that followed in September 2026 are listed as proprietary in the same way.

Adoption

5 high confidence
5.0

GPT-5 was the default model behind ChatGPT for logged-in users after its August 2025 launch, so its usage is attributed to the ChatGPT surface rather than to a standalone download or install count. ChatGPT's user numbers describe the product as a whole rather than GPT-5 alone, and its engine is now GPT-6 Astra.

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChatGPT recorded 2026-09-29

    Wikipedia ChatGPT article reports that "In February 2026, ChatGPT reached 900 million weekly active users." and lists GPT-6 September 2026 as the current release with Luna, Sol and Astra versions.
