August 8, 2025 marks the arrival of a major upgrade in the ChatGPT Team workspace: GPT-5 is now the default model.
This isn’t just a new version,it’s a leap forward. GPT-5 brings together advanced reasoning, deeper context awareness, and unmatched reliability in one seamless experience.
What makes GPT-5 different?
Performs like a true expert
From coding and writing to research and analysis, GPT-5 handles complex tasks with accuracy and confidence, outperforming earlier models in essential work.No more model-switching guesswork
GPT-5 automatically adjusts its thinking based on the complexity of the prompt, removing the need to manually choose the best model for each task.Understands organizational context better
Whether it’s reading uploaded files or connected work apps, GPT-5 delivers more relevant answers by leveraging internal contex, while fully respecting existing user permissions.
One model, endless possibilities
GPT-5 now replaces all other models for Team users, offering unlimited messages and adaptive reasoning built into every interaction. Just type a prompt, GPT-5 takes care of the rest.
It supports everything already being done with ChatGPT, while also unlocking new ways to work. For ideas and best practices, the Academy for Work, official blog, and livestream replays are great places to explore.
Need more power? It’s available.
For deeper reasoning needs, Team users can also select GPT‑5 thinking or GPT‑5 pro from the model picker. Admins have the option to assign extra credits to support power users.
Prefer older models for comparison or legacy tasks? They can still be turned on in Settings for the next 60 days, available in both the model picker and custom GPTs.
Rollout in Progress
GPT-5 is being introduced gradually to maintain platform stability throughout the launch. Availability is being expanded in stages, so some users may not see GPT-5 in their account just yet. For more details and updates, visit: https://openai.com/gpt-5/
