Episode notes
Unified GPT-5 Model Tiers
- OpenAI replaced many older GPT options with three GPT-5 tiers: GPT-5, GPT-5 mini, and GPT-5 nano.
- The system auto-selects the best tier for a query so users no longer must pick among many specialized models.
Try GPT-5 Regardless Of Plan
- Everyone, including free and paid users, will receive GPT-5 access as it rolls out.
- Expect higher usage limits if you are a paid subscriber but free users still get meaningful access.
