GPT-5
OpenAI has officially launched GPT-5, a new multimodal AI model that shows significant progress in almost all performance areas. With increased computing power, optimized algorithms and a massively expanded context window, GPT-5 can process significantly larger amounts of data in one go and capture complex relationships more precisely. It reacts faster, delivers more consistent results and noticeably reduces misinformation. In addition to text, the model also understands and analyzes images, audio and video content in high quality, enabling a wider range of applications, from scientific research and software development to medical analysis, creative projects and business processes. In addition, GPT-5 introduces new personalization options, enhanced interfaces to external tools and integrations that simplify use in professional and everyday scenarios.
Concrete examples / application scenarios:
Doctors can check complex diagnoses using image and laboratory data together with GPT-5.
From design to debugging: GPT-5 understands source code across multiple languages, explains complex algorithms and can optimize or document code directly.
Real-time analysis of live video streams, e.g. sports tactics or security surveillance
Support in AR and VR environments with recognition, description and modification of objects in real time
Control and adaptation of complex simulations for “what-if” scenarios in research and business
GPT-5 integrated in SharePoint
With the introduction of GPT-5, SharePoint users have new opportunities to create content faster, organize knowledge more efficiently and improve collaboration within the company.
1. automated content creation and optimization
GPT-5 can be integrated directly into SharePoint web parts, lists and document libraries (with M365 Copilot license). This allows, for example, :
Generate project documentation automatically
Summarize meeting notes
2. advanced search and knowledge functions
The AI analyzes documents, list content and metadata contextually. This means
- Semantic search – not only keywords, but also content-related connections are recognized
Knowledge graphs – GPT-5 links information from different SharePoint areas to form an overall picture
3. intelligent automation with Power Platform
In conjunction with Power Automate and Power Apps, GPT-5:
- Automatically categorize incoming information
Accelerate approval processes with AI-supported decision support
Import content directly into SharePoint pages or Teams channels
4. data protection and compliance
Data processing within the Microsoft cloud
GDPR-compliant storage
GPT-4 vs GPT-5 vs GPT-5 Pro
| GPT-4o | GPT-5 (Standard) | GPT-5 Pro | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Availability / Users | For all ChatGPT users (Free with limits, Plus with higher usage limits, API access available) | Available for all ChatGPT users; Plus, Team and Enterprise with higher limits, Free with usage caps | Pro subscription only (approx. 200 $/month) and Enterprise & Edu with extended access |
| Performance / Accuracy | High accuracy in text, languages and multimodal tasks (image, audio), fast response times, very good real-time interaction | Significantly improved: fewer hallucinations, faster thinking, higher accuracy in many areas (math, coding, health, etc.) | Even higher: with advanced thinking logic, parallelized processing, leading in complex intelligence benchmarks |
| Context window | Approx. 200,000 tokens | Up to approx. 256,000 tokens (also “extremely large” depending on the source) | Same – no special extension compared to standard mentioned |
| Multimodal & Personality | Understands and processes text, images and audio in one model; supports real-time voice with natural intonation; responds fluidly and contextually aware | Extended multimodality (text, image, video, audio), plus customizable personalities (preset styles) | Same multimodal support, but Pro brings deeper, more comprehensive thinking skills |
| Coding & tool handling | Strong basic functions | SOTA coding performance, front-end/UI design from single prompt, better tool utilization and agentic tasks | Even stronger – higher benchmark values, better quality for complex tasks, longer thought processes |
| Safety & hallucinations | Less hallucinations than GPT-4, robust safety level, good reduction of distortions | Significantly safer, fewer hallucinations, confesses limits, reduces sycophancy | Highest safety level – extensive red team tests, robust safe completions |
| Price / costs | Plus/API costs accordingly | Free with limit, Plus / Team more usage, API: approx. 1.25 $/M input token, 10 $/M output token | Pro subscription approx. 200 $/month for unlimited use and access to GPT-5 Pro and “Thinking” |
New with GPT-5 (standard)
- Million-token context window – enables the processing of extremely long texts, documents or chat histories in one go
Persistent long-term memory – remembers information and preferences from previous sessions to keep conversations consistent over time.
Faster and more precise answers – optimized calculation paths ensure fewer hallucinations and better performance in complex tasks.
Extra with GPT-5 Pro
Extended API functions – access to exclusive endpoints and special functions for developers.
- Early access to new features – beta functions and upcoming tools can be used first.
Extended tool and app integration – direct access to SharePoint, Google drive, Gmail, Outlook and other business tools.
Automated moderation & live summary of events – real-time analysis of video conferences with transcription, simultaneous translation and visual presentation of key points.
Automated moderation of hybrid events – GPT-5 can summarize and translate video conferences in real time and display key points visually.
