Artificial Intelligence, robotics, and next-generation tech are moving faster than ever before — and in today’s update, we’re diving into one of the biggest stories of the year: the official release of ChatGPT-5. Alongside that, we’ll explore some major industry shifts, from Tesla shutting down its Dojo supercomputer to the rise of AI agents, privacy concerns, and even developments in VR and India’s supercomputing efforts.
Grab a coffee (or your drink of choice) — this is going to be a detailed ride.
ChatGPT-5 is Finally Here
After months of speculation, OpenAI has officially rolled out ChatGPT-5 to the majority of users. The update promises better performance, improved content generation, and more accurate results.
From a first-hand perspective, the new model does feel more refined when generating written content — especially for articles, summaries, and detailed explanations. However, for developers and coders, things are a bit mixed.
Performance, Bugs, and User Experience
Now, let’s talk about the real-world usage — because benchmarks are one thing, but how the tool behaves when you’re actually working is what matters.
I spent an entire day testing ChatGPT-5 across different scenarios — content creation, coding, browsing via integrated tools, and running it through multiple platforms like Cursor and Lovable.
Here’s what I found:
- Small Code Snippets: Works fine. Fast and accurate.
- Large Code Blocks: Frequently fails to produce a working solution, especially when fixing bugs. Sometimes it insists a bug is fixed when it clearly isn’t.
- UI Improvements: The interface is smoother and feels more responsive in the app.
- Browser Experience: On Safari, particularly on macOS, I noticed significant lag and occasional freezing — even though my RAM and storage were more than sufficient.
- Integration in Other Tools:
- Lovable now uses ChatGPT tech, but watch out for credit consumption. I mistakenly burned through ~40 credits thinking it was free.
- Cursor runs reasonably well, but certain environments feel slower.
Benchmarks and Model Comparison
OpenAI claims ChatGPT-5 outperforms many benchmarks:
- Arc AGI Test: Outperforms even O3 models at a lower cost.
- PhD-Level Data Science Queries: Produces high-quality results.
- SWE Benchmarks: Exceptional in reasoning-based tasks.
- AI Index Rankings: Medium and high-tier models rank first and second, with Grok in second place overall.
However, these are OpenAI’s own benchmarks. Independent testing often reveals discrepancies, so take them as indicative — not absolute truth.
Pricing, Plans, and Free Version Limits
The good news? ChatGPT-5 is available in the free plan — but with restrictions:
- Free users get around 20–30 prompts daily.
- The free plan uses the base model, not the medium or high-tier versions.
- Paid tiers unlock:
- Medium Model: Available in standard pro plans.
- High Model: Available only in higher-cost enterprise plans (reportedly around $200/month).
For occasional users, the free plan is more than enough. Heavy users will hit the limits quickly.
Healthcare Potential and Hallucination Reduction
One of the most notable improvements is reduced hallucination rate, especially in healthcare-related queries. The model is now more reliable when analyzing medical reports.
⚠ Important Disclaimer:
While ChatGPT can analyze health reports and give insights, it is not a substitute for a licensed medical professional. Always confirm AI-generated diagnoses with a doctor.
Customization Options in ChatGPT-5
OpenAI has introduced personalization features:
- Change color themes.
- Adjust voice options in voice mode.
- Slightly adjust behavior/personality.
However, this isn’t the deep personalization some were expecting — there’s no full “train-on-my-data” mode for personal workflows yet.
Tesla’s Dojo Shutdown and Industry Implications
In a surprising move, Tesla shut down its Dojo supercomputer project.
Why does this matter?
Dojo was intended to train Tesla’s self-driving AI using massive amounts of video data collected from its cars.
Now:
- 20 core Dojo team members have left to form Density AI.
- Tesla is partnering with Samsung for chip manufacturing.
- The shift suggests Tesla may focus less on in-house AI hardware.
This could slow down Tesla’s autonomous driving ambitions — or simply indicate a change in strategic priorities.
The AI Agent Hype vs. Reality
There’s a growing trend of videos and posts claiming:
“Create an AI agent, make millions of dollars.”
Let’s clear the air:
- Tools like n8n (official: https://n8n.io) are automation platforms — not magic money printers.
- AI agents are just automated workflows using predefined steps.
- Before you build an AI agent, you need a solid business use case.
Zapier, Pabbly, and similar tools have existed for years — the AI layer is just making them smarter and faster, not revolutionary.
X (Twitter) Ad Plans and Grok’s Position
Elon Musk’s Grok AI remains fast, good at image generation, and strong in conversational quality.
But with rising costs, X plans to introduce ads directly in AI chat responses to monetize the platform.
US Government Data Requests to OpenAI
This is a huge privacy story:
Reports indicate that OpenAI may need to hand over millions of chat conversations to the US government as part of legal disputes over data sourcing.
Why it matters:
- If these chats include personal or sensitive data, leaks could have severe privacy consequences.
- This strengthens the argument for local AI models that run entirely on your own device.
MakeMyTrip’s Myra AI Travel Assistant
MakeMyTrip launched Myra, an AI-powered travel booking assistant:
- Suggests itineraries.
- Checks availability.
- Recommends based on your travel preferences.
While AI makes this faster, similar “trigger-response” chat flows existed in earlier non-AI chatbots. The difference now is adaptability — Myra can dynamically adjust your plan mid-conversation.
Meta’s New VR Prototype
Meta showcased TSU, a VR headset prototype with improved resolution and sharpness.
But:
- It’s bulkier and heavier.
- May not be viable for mass-market release in its current form.
For now, AR (augmented reality) is likely to see broader adoption before full VR becomes mainstream.
India’s Largest Indigenous Supercomputer
The Indian government is building its largest indigenous supercomputer, based on Rudra server architecture.
The move boosts self-reliance and could significantly benefit AI and scientific research projects.
YouTube’s AI-Powered Age Detection
YouTube is rolling out an AI system to estimate viewer ages based on watch history and behavior.
This could:
- Improve content recommendations for younger viewers.
- Reduce kids’ exposure to inappropriate content.
However, it may also lead to inaccuracies — for example, if a family shares a single account.
Final Thoughts and the Road Ahead
From ChatGPT-5’s mixed coding performance to Tesla’s shifting AI strategy and privacy battles over user data, one thing is clear — the AI and tech industry is evolving at breakneck speed.
The challenge for users is separating real capabilities from marketing hype and ensuring privacy isn’t sacrificed for convenience.
