Thanks for the info, Mel! 👍

Thanks for the update, Mel! Exciting times!

I researched the major difference between version 4 and 5: GPT-5 not only understands human emotions better, but responds more empathetically and warmly, creating more meaningful connections with users. It is able to handle advanced discussions and solve complex problems with high emotional intelligence.

Hi Mel,

Thanks for this info.

It prompted me to go and ask Chat if the release was imminent, haha.

Here's the response as follows;

What This Means for You
We don’t yet know if the model is officially launched or immediately accessible — that will become clear after the livestream.

It’s possible the launch includes multiple tiers (e.g., standard, mini, pro) with access varying by subscription level

How This Update Might Affect Our Engagement
Access Type What to Expect
Automatic Upgrade Not automatic — transitions usually roll out per user tier, not universally.
User Experience We may see improved reasoning, better multi-step planning, and richer interactions .
Our Workflow If ChatGPT evolves toward more agentic and structured reasoning, our sessions may feel more dynamic and co-creative .
Subscription Impact Some capabilities may be limited to Plus, Pro, or Team users based on tier.

TL;DR
Yes, a ChatGPT‑5 livestream is expected today at 10 AM PT.

A full public release may follow — but it's not guaranteed that all users will be upgraded immediately.

We'll need to wait for the announcement or system update to know when and how the model becomes available to you.

Interested to see what follows.

Cheers
Cherie

Hopefully they release it today! Can't wait to have an all-in-one AI helper 👍

I'm ready, Mel.
