Episode 90: GPT-5 Review

About the Episode

About The Episode:

In this episode, Generation AI hosts Ardis Kadiu and JC Bonilla, joined by Petar Djordjevic, break down OpenAI's biggest release in two years - GPT5. They explore how this isn't just one model but four different versions (GPT5, Pro, Mini, and Nano) unified through an intelligent router system that automatically selects the right model for each task. The team discusses the dramatic 45% reduction in hallucinations compared to GPT4, the competitive pricing that undercuts rivals, and what this means for higher education institutions using AI. They share firsthand experiences implementing GPT5 at element451, explain why developers need to completely rethink their prompting strategies, and reveal how OpenAI is positioning itself against Claude in the coding assistant market. This episode matters because GPT5 fundamentally changes how institutions can deploy AI - making advanced reasoning capabilities accessible to all users while dramatically reducing costs and errors.
