Wow this is huge.
GPT-5 is finally here and it’s completely unbelievable.
Practically destroying every other model in several AI benchmarks.
This is a massive upgrade from the GPT-4x’s.
Grok 4 the model I was just talking about the other day saying it was the best…
GPT-5’s coding abilities are unreal.
GPT-5 absolutely dominates industry coding tests with benchmark scores of 74.9% on SWE-Bench Verified and 88% on Aider Polyglot.
Unbelievably cheap API for such massive intelligence improvements.
SWE-Bench Verified simulates real-world GitHub issues, and GPT-5’s first-attempt solve rate outperforms every competitor.
Two BILLION tokens per minute?!
Like what do you even say about that.
I mean of course with such a mind-bogglingly low cost it’s no wonder why every AI tool (and their mother) will jump on it.
All our favorite IDEs instantly added support for it without even thinking.
Windsurf — generous as always:
But stats only tell part of the story. The real magic is in how it feels to code with GPT-5.
Cursor — you can try it for free…
You don’t have to walk it through every little thing. You just tell it what you want — “build me a login system,” “refactor this into something clean,” “find the bug here” — and it does it. One go. No back and forth. No babying it.
On Aider Polyglot the model showed exceptional multilingual coding skills — it generated and debugged code in dozens of programming languages without missing a beat.
Copilot & VS Code — never to be left out…
GPT-5 feels less like a tool and more like a teammate who never gets tired, never forgets, and somehow knows everything.
JetBrains — their Junie assistant I was talking about the other time has been out for some time now.
Super impressive snake game generation:
Everybody is absolutely loving it.
And OpenAI didn’t just drop one version — they’ve also released GPT-5-mini and nano. These are smaller, faster versions that still give you much of the coding power, which is great if you’re working on a budget or just need something lightweight for quick jobs.
All of this adds up to something big. The way we write software is changing. More and more, your job as a developer isn’t to type every line, but to describe what you want — clearly, thoughtfully — and let the AI handle the heavy lifting. GPT-5 lets you move faster, take on bigger projects, and focus on the parts of programming that actually require creativity and judgment.
Bottom line? GPT-5 coding is nuts. It’s fast, smart, flexible, and it actually understands what you’re trying to do. Whether you’re a pro dev or just getting started, this model is going to change how you think about building software.
Forever.
