As of about an hour ago Chat GPT is totally different and if you haven't been paying for it this is good news. Here's a quick breakdown from the recent openAI livestream about what you need to know if you're just the average user of ChatGPT about what makes this so different to you. Perhaps the biggest difference for the average user is all of this is going away and if you had no idea that there were seven different models to choose from it doesn't matter anymore because with GPT5 which is gonna be the new default model this ultra smart new large language model can actually pick for you what kind of approach is best for the problem that you're asking it which means if you've never touched this thing before all of a sudden your answers are gonna feel a lot better a lot more nuanced and a lot smarter generally speaking because you've never taken advantage of any of these extra models that do a lot more stuff. And yes this new best in class model is going to be completely free for you to use so if you have not paid for chat GPT never wanted to your whole experience is gonna be greatly improved. You'll have limited access to the GPT5 model and the backup model that you'll switch to will also be GPT5 Mini which is still a way better model apparently than all those models which is there. And to the vibe coders or software engineers among us GPT5 is also way better at coding. You can prompt ChatGPT to make your own little interactive app when you need it in the moment to play with or to learn from. Next if you're a free user and you love the use of Chat GPT voice but you hate that it's cuts you off and makes you to open a new chat when you hit your limit, they've extended the limit massively for free users. They're claiming now you can talk for upwards of hours with the voice mode and if you pay for Chat GPT it's unlimited. They also pointed out that it's even more customisable you can have it talk slower or faster it even's more engaging for you and you can even set default personalities in the paid version and if you haven't tried this just know it's quite fun and very entertaining. I have a huge takeaway for most people to know about is that this model is a lot smarter and a lot more accurate so it's got to cut down on a lot of fake information that these models tend to create but it is important to keep in mind that it is not non zero so you still need to use your brain to fact check and think critically. At high level this is a smarter faster more efficient and better experience for everybody and also a lot simpler.
