What's going on guys? Josh Wilcox here.

Now, there was some huge news today. And

if you're living under a rock, I will

fill you in. Chat GPT5 is finally here.

The long awaited model that we've all

been saying, okay, when is this model

coming? People have been asking Sam

about it. And now it is finally here. We

have GPT5 regular version. We have GPT5

thinking. And then there's even GPT5

Pro. We're going to dive into it.

Actually take a look at some of the

tests. How good is this model in when it

comes to benchmarks? And of course,

benchmarks don't mean everything. So,

we're actually going to use it in an

actual real applicable scenario. Try it

out in cursor, see what it's made of,

and look at some of the cool things

other people are doing with it so you

can get filled in and start using it

today because there has never been a

time like this where you can build a

business, build a software, build really

anything um so easily. So, welcome to

the age of builders. And without ado,

let's dive right into it. All right,

guys. So, all links I cover in today's

video will be linked down below. As

always, take a look here at OpenAI's

official uh research post about GPT5. We

can see that they say it's their

smartest, fastest, most useful model yet

with built-in thinging that puts expert

level intelligence in everyone's hands.

So essentially GPT5 is a unified system

with a smart efficient model that

answers most questions and a deeper

reasoning model which is GPT5 thinking

for harder problems. And then it also

has a real-time router that quickly

decides which to use based on

conversation type, complexity, tool

needs and your explicit intent. So GPT5

is their strongest coding model. As you

can see here, they just coded a rolling

ball miniame. They coded some pixel art

right here. Okay, so we can see paint.

You can do a typing game, a drum

simulator, lowfi visualizer. And the

cool thing is this was all these games

right here was just one prompt. So, you

know, imagine back in the day to create

something as simple as one of these

typing games. You know, it took a little

bit of time and you know, you could

actually use something like this as a

service to teach people how to type as a

software, right? Different levels and

whatnot. Now, you can do things. so

simple with these tools. All right, it's

their top model for creative expression

and writing and it's their best model

yet for health related questions,

empowering users to get informed about

and advocate for their health. So, I

mean, I don't know about you guys, but I

use chat GPT as well as Claude and

really any AI mono perplexity, whatever.

Even though Perplexity is just a rapper,

but um I use that for so many things for

my health. I've created gym plans for

myself, workout plans, meal plans. Um,

if someone's maybe like a dog or like a

family member is sick or has an illness

or if I have an illness, you know, I'll

ask AI. So, this is I mean it's good. We

can see the trajectory where AI is uh

going just with everything and health in

what in particular is something that's

really going to disrupt it already is

disrupting this space, but it's going to

continue um being hopefully a really

good help for us. So we can see here in

some academic and human evals that it

sets a new state-of-the-art across math.

So 94.6%

on a IME 2025 without tools and then

real world coding 74.9%

on the SWE

verified and then 88% on Ader Polyot.

Multimodal understanding is a 84.2% on

MMU and health at a 46.2. 2% on

healthbench hard. So, I'm not going to

spend so much time going through all

these specific evals. You can see that

there is a lot here. We got the coding

benchmarks, the humanity last exam

benchmarks, all these different ones

right here. So, um like I said, links

down below if you want to check some of

these out more in depth and can see the

comparison between some of their older

models like 03, GPT40 versus chat GPG5.

But we can see here that it is

outperforming 03 right here. So faster,

more efficient thinking. Okay, we can

see for scientific reasoning, for

software engineering, it's outperforming

it for PhD level science questions. And

then we have a much lower hallucination

rate, which is really good. Uh, now I'm

in platform.openai.com,

which is the back end for developers. If

you go to the models section here, we

can see that there is GPT5, GPT5 mini,

and then GPT5 Nano. So, um they do have

different models. Now, on the front end

side of things, they actually cleaned up

the UI. First of all, they have a nice

little uh color um UI right here, which

is actually kind quite nice. Um I do

like like they made the UI look a bit

nicer to be honest. Also too, at least

for mine, you used to have to like click

here and upload a file. Um now, you can

actually just drag it over like this,

which uh is nice. That's something that

Claude could do that uh it was just a

little thing, but they're making the UI

a little bit nicer. And also too, before

they would have all these different

models, they'd be have O40 uh 03, 03

Mini, 4.1, 4.5. And it's kind of

confusing, especially like obviously,

you know, myself as well as probably a

lot of you, you guys know each specific

model, their pros and cons, but

especially for someone that is just, you

know, using it on the day-to-day, they

don't know which specific model to use.

So, this is kind of good. combines all

the pros and cons of these different

models into one. And it's very simple.

We have GPT5 and then GPT5 thinking and

then pro. Now, if we go to compare

models right here, we can see we got

GPT5. Let's do GPT5 Nano and then GPT5

mini. There's also GPT5 chat here. Okay.

So, as you can see, we it shows the

reasoning, the speed of each model. So

Nano is very fast, the types of input

output it allows, and then the pricing.

So they actually made this uh some

upgrades too in the back end here. I

like this compare models feature,

especially since they have a lot of

different models. So we can see the

pricing here on a per 1 million token

basis. We got the input of GPT5 right

here of $1.25

cash input of 0 uh 313 and then output

of $10. Nano is a lot cheaper 5 cents 1

cent and 40 and then mini is 253 and

then $2. Okay. All of them have a much

larger contact window. So this is

actually a huge upgrade. 400,000

window and then a max output uh tokens

of 128 for all three models. We can see

the knowledge cut off here. So for GPT5

it was just about a year ago. So

September 30th 2024 we can see all the

different endpoints. They all have

pretty much all of them. Well GPT5 does.

These two are missing a couple for

distillation and predicted outputs. Now

the one thing is if we look at the price

of GPT5 comparative to something like

Claude right here we have Claude Opus

4.1 which if you don't know just

released maybe a few days ago and we can

see this is their most uh expensive

model as well as their top tier model.

We have the input of $15 per mill, a

output of $75. And even the Claude Sonet

4 right here of $3 per mill input, and

15 per output is still way more

expensive than GPT5. So, we can see here

$10 per output versus $75 per output and

1.5 or 1.25 per input versus $15 per

input. Then, of course, you have cash

input, too. But, uh, GPT5 is definitely

a lot cheaper. The one thing GPT5 still

doesn't beat is Gro 4 on the ARC AGI

leaderboard. Now, if you want more

updates on GPT5, check out Sam Omen's

Twitter, which I'll leave linked down

below. He's reposting pretty much

different people in the tech industry,

basically saying different things about

GPT5. Like, we can see Theo here is

saying, "I've been using GPT5 for a bit

now. The model broke me. It is so good.

I didn't know what the prices was. I

assumed it would be 03 Pro price because

it is that smart." Nope. Truly insane.

He literally said he will go into depth

for this model. There's a lot more stuff

that we could cover. You know, all these

benchmarks realistically, they don't

mean so much, right? We've seen all the

anytime a new model launches, oh, it has

this benchmark, this benchmark, this

benchmark, they do mean something. But,

uh, let's actually try and build some

stuff using cursor. Good thing about

cursor right now is for the launch week

at GPT5, since if you're on cursor, you

get it for a week for free. If I go open

up cursor, make sure you're updated to

the latest version of cursor. You can

see GPT5 and cursor CLI are now

available. So try GPT5 for free. It's

now available. And they also mentioned

their cursor CLI. So bring a to any IDE

or remote machine. So I'm not going to

go too deep into the CLI right now. But

this is actually very cool because as

we've seen with the rise of quad code,

Gemini CLI, really every company is

doing a CLI version, which you know I do

like. There's ADER. There's all these

different tools. We're actually just

going to go ahead and try GPT5. All

right. So, I'm going to create a project

here called GPT5 CRM. And we are going

to see what this tool is actually made

of. All right. If you don't know how to

check for updates, by the way, you just

click this uh settings icon, then click

check for updates. If there's an update,

make sure you update. And then you'll

see GPT5 right here. We have GPT5 normal

and then GPT5 fast. So, this is the same

model, but it's using the fast priority

processing, which is typically two times

the price. And this one is also offered

with free credits for paying users

during the week of launch. Both of these

are medium reasoning. You could also

toggle on max mode as well. All right,

so to start out, I'm going to use this

simple prompt. So, please create me an

X.js CRM with all the latest packages,

etc. to work all together. I want a nice

clean modern UI, light mode, dark mode,

and a few key features such as contact

management, calendar, task manager, no

backend at the moment, just front end.

So, I'm going to use this prompt. We can

iterate and improve upon it if need be.

Let's go ahead and send this and see

what we get. Okay, so now I am just

simply going to run things. You can see

here that it is going to use nex.js, JS

Zustend date FNS React big calendar zod

react hook form and sauner for the

toast. Okay, so I'm going to run mpm add

and then these package libraries right

here. I'm going to allow this. All

right, so packages are now installed.

All right, now it's going to run shad

cn. So I'm going to allow that. Okay, so

now they are getting added right here to

the components.json file. All right, so

now we have our shad cn in here. Now

it's going to scan the uh layout and

page.tcxs and then um build everything

out. All right. So you can see here it

builds out all these different files and

now we are just going to allow it to

rundev

port 3000 and let's see what we get. All

right. So we have an issue here. I'm

simply just going to copy this and put

it back in the cursor. All right. Boom.

And here we have our CRM. So GBD5 CRM.

We can see light mode, dark mode. So,

that's good that it's working. You can

see contacts, tasks, calendar. So,

pretty good right out of box here. Okay.

Now, when I click on this right here,

it's actually not taking me to the page.

So, I just let um cursor know that it's

not doing that. So, it's working on a

fix right now. Okay. So, now it is

working. If I go to contacts, we can see

the contact page right here to fill out.

We can add a contact. We can go to task

here.

We can see our task right here. add a

task, a description, due date, and we

have our dates right here, which is

nice. We can do priority, add task. So,

we actually do should be able to add a

task like um make video

description. Boom. Okay. And now we have

our task. We can see we could delete it,

add it, etc. We can go to calendar here

and we can see the calendar for the

month. And this is August 2025. You can

see that it did get everything right

with the first being on Friday and all

the different days. We can see the

coloring right here is a little bit off.

We could fix that. I'm not going to

bother right now. Now, I'm actually just

saying make everything a bit more

advanced and cooler with more impressive

features and cool stuff and let's see

what we get. All right, so cursor aka

GPT5 did its thing here and we

apparently got some improvements. Let's

check it out. Okay, we're getting a

build error. Let's copy this and paste

it into cursor. Okay, so now it should

be fixed. Let's go ahead and take a

look. Okay, so it added a couple new

features like I think we can do command

K. Okay, so nice command K. And now we

can actually kind of search like a

command here. Um we can navigate like

dashboard, contacts, task, calendar.

We're getting a error here. Um I'm not

going to bother fixing this right now.

It's just a simple error. We hover over

contacts, tasks, and calendar. We could

see a graph right here, I believe, of

kind of how many tasks and contacts and

calendars we have. Right now, we have

none. So, it shows zero. If I click on

accent up here, we can actually switch

the accent to uh red, purple right here.

As you can see, it's changing colors.

So, now it's purple, now it's blue. We

go to contacts here. We could actually

uh browse um files to add contacts. We

could export as a CSV. I'm not going to

do that right now. We go to task here.

We can now see to-dos, in progress, and

done. Let's add a test task right here.

Now, we can see the test task is in

to-do right here. We click next status,

and then it's going to go to in

progress. Next status. Now, it's in

done. So, now that we are back in our

dashboard and we have one task, we can

see that there is now one task opposed

from the others that have zero. a pretty

basic CRM, but just wanted to give you a

sense of how it is out of box with a

couple different prompts. Few things

I'll say is it did a pretty good job. A

lot of the LLMs I use tend to have

trouble with uh getting shaden set up

with the XJS and there was a couple

little things here and there, but it did

a pretty damn good job. All in all guys,

this model just dropped today and I

still want to use it a lot more before I

give a final conclusion as to what I

think about this model. But as of now,

my first impressions are it is pretty

impressive and I am very excited to use

it more. Now, I will also be using it a

lot more in the front-end user interface

right here um within chat GBT, testing

it out for different things such as

creative writing, different things like

that. In today's video, we mainly

covered about the coding side using

cursor because I know a lot of you guys

are into that. But definitely let me

know what your guys' thoughts are in the

comments down below about GPT5. Does it

live up to the hype or is it just

overhyped and not as great as people

think? And if you've been using it, let

me know what some of the use cases

you've been using it are for. Is it just

for coding that you've been using it

for? Have you been using it for writing?

How do you think it compares to Claude?

Claude Opus 4.1 thoughts on it 4. And of

course, let me know down below if you

feel the AGI or not. Other than that

guys, that's pretty much it for this

video. If you're new to the channel and
