Overview

• Oracle says GPT-5 is now integrated into Oracle Database, Fusion Cloud Applications, NetSuite and industry suites to power natural‑language data queries, multi‑step reasoning and faster code creation and debugging.
• Independent tests report notable gains for GPT-5, including a 74.9% SWE‑bench Verified score, a 512,000‑token context window, a thinking mode for harder tasks and fewer hallucinations versus prior models.
• OpenAI acknowledged rollout mistakes after users complained about a colder tone and regressions, restored GPT‑4o as a paid option and quietly pushed a tone update to make GPT‑5 responses warmer.
• Researchers and executives continue to flag trust and safety limits, with Hugging Face finding weaker boundary‑setting in sensitive chats and OpenAI’s ChatGPT lead urging people to treat outputs as a second opinion.
• Sam Altman says GPT‑6 is already in development with a focus on persistent memory and personalization, though timing and scale will depend on compute capacity constraints.
