We’re making GPT-5 warmer and friendlier based on feedback that it felt too formal before. Changes are subtle, but ChatGPT should feel more approachable now.
You'll notice small, genuine touches like “Good question” or “Great start,” not flattery. Internal tests show no rise in sycophancy compared to the previous GPT-5 personality.
Changes may take up to a day to roll out, more updates soon.

Introducing shopping research, a new experience in ChatGPT that does the research to help you find the right products.
It’s everything you like about deep research but with an interactive interface to help you make smarter purchasing decisions.
Shopping research asks smart clarifying questions, researches deeply across the internet, reviews quality sources, and builds on ChatGPT’s understanding of you from past conversations and memory to deliver a personalized buyer’s guide in minutes.
Most neural networks today are dense and highly entangled, making it difficult to understand what each part is doing.
In our new research, we train “sparse” models—with fewer, simpler connections between neurons—to see whether their computations become easier to understand.
Unlike with normal models, we often find that we can pull out simple, understandable parts of our sparse models that perform specific tasks, such as ending strings correctly in code or tracking variable types.
We also show promising early signs that our method could potentially scale to understand more complex behaviors.
Today we’re introducing GDPval, a new evaluation that measures AI on real-world, economically valuable tasks.
Evals ground progress in evidence instead of speculation and help track how AI improves at the kind of work that matters most. openai.com/index/gdpval-v0
GDPval spans 44 occupations selected from the top 9 sectors contributing to U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Tasks are constructed from the representative work of industry professionals with an average of 14 years of experience.
