GPT-5 integrates automatic reasoning into the default experience
OpenAI made GPT-5 the default ChatGPT system, routing between direct responses and deeper reasoning according to the task.
The launch reflected a broader product shift away from asking users to understand a growing model menu. A unified system could decide when additional reasoning was useful. It also showed how generative AI products were evolving from standalone models into orchestrated systems combining routing, tools, safety layers and multiple modes of computation.Sources & references 1 source
