WIRED Roundup: Why GPT-5 Flopped

Описание: This video contains Altered content or synthetic content. The launch of GPT-5 in 2025 was widely regarded as a disappointment and a setback for OpenAI. After a long wait since GPT-4.5, GPT-5 faced backlash due to performance inconsistencies, frequent errors, and a downgrade in coding capabilities compared to previous versions. Users criticized the forced migration from older models and the introduction of a new automatic routing system that often delivered poorer responses. OpenAI attempted to address these issues by adding multiple modes to improve user control and raising message limits, but the damage to its reputation was significant. The release failed to meet the high expectations set by earlier breakthroughs like GPT-3 and GPT-4, highlighting limitations in large language models' ability to generalize broadly. The launch was seen by many as a cost-saving move rather than a genuine technological advance, leading to widespread dissatisfaction among users and experts.
