OpenAI to fix GPT-5 issues, double rate limits for paid users after outrage
AUG 8 – OpenAI plans fixes and doubles GPT-5 rate limits for paid users after misjudging demand and facing criticism over limited legacy model access and performance issues.
- OpenAI unveiled its GPT-5 model yesterday, rolling it out for both paid and free ChatGPT users worldwide.
- The rollout followed previous updates to GPT-4o, which became too sycophantic, and came amid user disappointment and a broken autoswitcher feature.
- GPT-5 introduces significant improvements in reasoning, coding, and tool integration but frequently generates brief responses and inconsistently engages its enhanced reasoning functions.
- Sam Altman stated the autoswitcher bug made GPT-5 seem 'way dumber' and promised fixes including doubling rate limits for Plus users and letting users trigger a thinking mode.
- OpenAI intends to bring back older models like GPT-4o for Plus subscribers and will monitor user engagement to determine the duration these previous versions remain available amid ongoing feedback.
