OpenAI has officially introduced GPT-5, its next-generation artificial intelligence model, in a livestreamed event. This latest release marks a major advancement in the company’s AI journey, reinforcing its push to stay at the forefront of global AI innovation.


Introducing GPT-5, OpenAI said, “Today we’re introducing GPT‑5⁠, OpenAI’s smartest, fastest, most useful model yet, and a major step towards placing intelligence at the center of every business. GPT‑5 unites and exceeds OpenAI’s prior breakthroughs in frontier intelligence, spanning 4o, OpenAI o-series reasoning, agents, and advanced math⁠(opens in a new window) capabilities. […] GPT‑5 delivers leaps in accuracy, speed, reasoning, context recognition, structured thinking, and problem-solving. The true magic will happen when businesses start applying GPT‑5 to imagine new use cases.”

Described as a significant upgrade in terms of creative writing, complex reasoning, and computer programming, GPT-5 aims to elevate the ChatGPT experience. “For the first time,” said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, “it really feels like talking to an expert in any topic.”

“GPT‑5 is a unified system with a smart, efficient model that answers most questions, a deeper reasoning model (GPT‑5 thinking) for harder problems, and a real‑time router that quickly decides which to use based on conversation type, complexity, tool needs, and your explicit intent (for example, if you say “think hard about this” in the prompt). The router is continuously trained on real signals, including when users switch models, preference rates for responses, and measured correctness, improving over time. Once usage limits are reached, a mini version of each model handles remaining queries. In the near future, we plan to integrate these capabilities into a single model,” OpenAI further added.

OpenAI, which introduced ChatGPT nearly three years ago using GPT-3.5, has steadily evolved its models to support a wide range of use cases, including reasoning, coding, and autonomous agent workflows.

New Personalities and Smarter Processing

To enhance user interaction, OpenAI has introduced four experimental personality presets in ChatGPT – Cynic, Robot, Listener, and Nerd. These are available as part of a research preview.

GPT-5 also includes a new capability that allows it to autonomously determine how deeply it should process a user’s query, eliminating the need for manual toggling between simple and complex modes. This is expected to improve both performance and efficiency by optimising server load.

Altman Says GPT-5 Made Him Feel ‘Useless’

The debut of GPT-5 has been highly anticipated, especially after Altman hinted earlier this year that the model would exceed expectations. During a recent podcast, he shared a personal anecdote about GPT-5’s intelligence.

“I got emailed a question that I didn’t quite understand and I put it in the model — this is GPT-5 — and it answered it perfectly,” he said. “I felt useless relative to the AI.”

Nick Turley, who leads the ChatGPT team at OpenAI, emphasised that GPT-5 not only responds faster but also delivers more accurate results. “When you’re talking to this thing, it feels just a little bit more natural,” he noted.

GPT-5 Availability

GPT-5 is now accessible to users across all ChatGPT plans, which includes Team, Pro, Plus, and even the free tier. Free users will initially access GPT-5 but will switch to GPT-5 mini after reaching usage limits.

Enterprise and Education customers will gain access next week. OpenAI also plans to release GPT-5 Pro soon, which it describes as “a version with extended reasoning for even more reliable and detailed answers,” available to Team, Enterprise, and Edu users.

Developers using the OpenAI API will have access to GPT-5, GPT-5 mini, and GPT-5 nano models.

While recent leaks around the Pixel 10 lineup have largely focused on hardware, the spotlight is now shifting to software. According to Android Headlines, the upcoming Pixel 10 series will introduce powerful new camera-related AI features, set to debut at the official launch on August 20. Here’s what we know about the new features so far.

Camera Coach

One of the standout features is a new tool called “Camera Coach”, powered by Google’s Gemini AI. Designed to help users take better photos in real-time, Camera Coach will offer live suggestions by analysing the scene. This includes prompts to adjust framing, improve lighting, and make other enhancements to help you get the best shot.

While it’s unclear how fast the scene analysis will be, the feature is expected to provide instant suggestions.

Conversational Photo Editing with Gemini

In addition to Camera Coach, the Pixel 10 lineup will introduce Conversational Photo Editing. It is another AI-driven tool powered by Gemini.

This feature allows users to edit photos using natural language prompts. You’ll be able to ask Gemini to change backgrounds, remove unwanted objects, brighten the image, and more, all without needing manual editing skills. The goal is to make photo editing as easy as chatting, giving users intuitive control over edits with simple voice or text commands.

These new AI features will be exclusive to the entire Pixel 10 series at launch, including the base model. However, Google may bring these features to older Pixel devices later through a Pixel Feature Drop.

Google’s Software-Driven Camera Strategy

Google has long leaned on software to elevate its Pixel cameras and the Pixel 10 series is no exception. While the base Pixel 10 gains a telephoto lens, it also includes smaller camera sensors across the lineup. However, thanks to Google’s computational photography, performance on these smaller sensors is expected to remain strong.

The Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL will continue using sensors similar to last year’s models, focusing improvements instead on AI and software-based enhancements.

Launch and Availability

Google will officially unveil the Pixel 10 series on August 20 with pre-orders opening the same day. The Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL are all expected to begin shipping on August 28.

FAQs

Q1. What is the Camera Coach feature in the Pixel 10 series?

Answer. Camera Coach is a new AI tool powered by Google’s Gemini that provides real-time photo suggestions, such as adjusting framing and lighting, to help users take better pictures.

Q2. How does Conversational Photo Editing work on the Pixel 10?

Answer. It allows users to edit photos using natural language prompts like changing backgrounds, removing objects, or brightening images, without manual editing skills.

Q3. When will the Pixel 10 series be available?

Answer. The Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL will be officially unveiled on August 20, with shipping starting August 28.

Instagram is rolling out a repost feature. You can now repost public Reels and feed posts, which will then be recommended to your friends and followers in their feeds. These reposts will also appear in a separate tab on your profile, allowing you or others to revisit them at any time.

Reposts credit the original creator. This means that if someone reposts your content, it may get recommended to their followers, even if those users don’t follow you. This gives creators a new way to reach a broader audience.

To repost, simply tap the repost icon on a Reel or post. A thought bubble will appear where you can add a note before pressing save.

Location Sharing via Instagram Map

Instagram is also enhancing its map feature with the option to share your real-time location with friends. This feature is opt-in and gives you full control over who sees your location. You can choose from different sharing settings such as all friends (mutual followers), Close Friends, selected friends, or no one at all. You can also opt out of sharing at specific locations or with specific people.

Your location is updated whenever you open the app or return to it after it’s been running in the background. You can disable location sharing at any time.

For parents using Instagram’s supervision tools, there are added controls. Parents will be notified when their teen activates location sharing, enabling important conversations about online safety. They can also view who their teen is sharing their location with and manage whether the feature is available to them.

Even if you don’t enable location sharing, you can still explore the Instagram map to see content tagged with locations such as stories from concerts, Reels from local creators, or posts from friends at interesting spots.

  • Notes from mutual followers (also available for 24 hours)

Galaxy Z Fold 7 Survives 200,000 Manual Folds in YouTube Live Durability Test

0

Highlights

  • In a YouTube livestream by Tech IT, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 was manually folded 200,000 times simulating over 5 years of daily use.
  • The phone rebooted early on, developed hinge creaks and a visible crease.
  • It lost speaker function at 175,000 folds but remained operational throughout.

Samsung’s latest foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, has been turning heads with its sleeker design and less noticeable crease. However, no matter what the brand claims or how impressive the device looks, there is always a durability concern when it comes to foldable devices.

A Korean YouTube creator Tech IT decided to put that to the test with a real-world folding experiment. Here’s what happened.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 – Live Manual Fold Test

In a livestream on the Tech IT channel, one of the hosts manually folded the Galaxy Z Fold 7 an incredible 200,000 times to evaluate how it holds up under long-term usage.

Unlike controlled lab tests using robotic arms and ideal conditions, this was a hands-on durability challenge designed to simulate actual daily wear and tear. Along the way, several minor issues cropped up. The phone unexpectedly rebooted sometime between 6,000 and 10,000 folds.

By 46,000 folds, the hinge began to creak. At around 75,000 folds, viewers noticed a mysterious liquid near the hinge, though it didn’t seem to affect the device’s performance.

At the halfway point of 100,000 folds, the crease became more noticeable and the hinge made a soft crackling sound, but both the display and hinge mechanism remained fully functional.

At 175,000 folds, the Fold 7’s speaker stopped working, though the issue didn’t appear directly related to the folding mechanism. Despite this setback, the phone successfully reached the 200,000-fold milestone without suffering any major failure.

That number is no small feat. Folding a phone 100 times a day amounts to over five years of use, meaning the Fold 7 stood up well under extreme conditions. While Samsung officially rates the hinge and flexible display to last 500,000 folds under standard conditions, this test showed some signs of wear like a louder hinge and a more pronounced crease. But overall, the device remained operational.

Q3. How does the Fold 7’s real-world durability compare to Samsung’s official rating?

Answer. Samsung officially rates the Fold 7’s hinge and display to last 500,000 folds under lab conditions. In the manual test, the device showed signs of wear like a louder hinge and deeper crease but still reached 200,000 folds without major failure.
