Description:
ChatGPT-5 is available for all ChatGPT users here are 3 great new features you can try today

FULL STORY ======================================================================Access to ChatGPT-5 is being given to all ChatGPT users You get new features like ChatGPT Voice and better writing ChatGPT-5 access is rolling out right now

At todays ChatGPT-5 launch event, we got to see exactly why OpenAI is so excited about the new version of ChatGPT. Its faster, more intuitive, less likely to hallucinate, and can integrate with your Gmail in even more useful ways to know more about you.

In fact, at one point, the OpenAI presenters actually got ChatGPT-5 to write
a eulogy to the previous ChatGPT-4o model as a demonstration about how much better its writing capabilities had become.

The eulogy was warranted because OpenAI isnt restricting access to ChatGPT-5 to Plus and Pro subscribers it is giving it out to free tier users too, so everybody now gets access to a better ChatGPT. That effectively means the end for ChatGPT-4o.

The vast majority of todays presentation was about how much better ChatGPT-5 was at writing code than previous versions, and also how much better it was
at enterprise applications, like law, health care, education, and finance.

Of course, most of us simply use ChatGPT to help us get things done in our daily lives, but there were plenty of improvements that are worth noting for everyday users, too, and theyre mostly available in the free tiers.

Lets take a look at what you get access to without paying. 1. Writing improvements

As with GPT4o, the difference between free and paid access to GPT5 is usage volume. At some point on the free tier, your access to GPT-5 will reach the usage limit, and then youll be kicked back to GPT-5 mini.

Plus subscribers will get significantly higher usage volume before that happens. That means youll get access to the improved writing ability in
GPT-5. Youll find that its prose has a lot more rhythm and beat to it than
the prose in GPT-4o did. 2. ChatGPT Voice (Image credit: Future)

With the free tier, you still only get limited access to ChatGPT-5s voice
mode (along with file uploads, image creation, and data analysis), but you should get more access per day now than you did before.

What used to be called 'Advanced voice mode' is now called 'ChatGPT voice'. OpenAI says that Standard Voice Mode retires on September 9, 2025, unifying all users on ChatGPT Voice.

ChatGPT Voice is better than before, with more natural-sounding
conversations. Hit the voice button on the mobile app for ChatGPT to give it
a go right now. 3. New highlight colors

Youve always been able to change the theme of ChatGPT from light to dark to System, but now you can add accent colors to your chats in the Settings.
These apply to elements in ChatGPT-5 like conversation bubbles and
highlighted text.

This is the first time color has been used in the ChatGPT interface, and it takes some getting used to, but I think this is a feature youll come to
enjoy. What you dont get

ChatGPT-5 has better memory, reduces hallucinations, and as a free user,
youll get all that too. So what dont you get?

Well, as before, access to the Sora AI video generator is restricted to Plus and Pro users, as is ChatGPT Agent . And in terms of new models, the super-powerful ChatGPT-5 Pro is only available to Pro users. But Im still
suck on GPT-4o?

If youre frantically hitting the refresh button on your ChatGPT page waiting for access to GPT-5 then youre not alone right now, but it is on the way.

A message on the OpenAI website says: We are gradually rolling out GPT-5 to ensure stability during launch. Some users may not yet see GPT-5 in their account as we increase availability in stages. You might also like OpenAI
