GPT-5 is a bit better -particularly around consistency - and a fair amount cheaper. For all of my use cases, that's a huge win.

Products using AI powered days processing (a lot of what I use it for) don't need mind blowing new features. I just want it to be better at summarizing and instruction following, and I want it to be cheaper. GPT-5 seems to knock all of that out of the park

What is more or less a natural evolution of LLMs... The thing is, where are my benefits as a developer?

If for instance CoPilot charges 1 Premium request for Claude and 1 Premium request for GPT-5, despite that GPT-5 is (with resource usage), supposed to be on a level of GPT 4.1 (a free model). Then (from my point of view) there is no gain.

So far from coding point of view, Claude does coding (often) still better. I made the comparison that Claude feels like a Senior dev, with years of experience, where GPT 5 feels like a academic professor, that is too focus on analytic presentation.

So while its nice to see more competition in the market, i still rank (with Copilot):

Claude > Gemini > GPT5 ... big gap ... GPT4.1 (beast mode) > GPT 4.1

LLM's are following the same progression these days like GPUs, or CPU ... Big jumps at first, then things slow down, you get more power efficiency but only marginal jumps on improvements.

Where we will see benefits, is specialized LLMs, for instance, Anthropic doing a good job for creating a programmer focused LLM. But even those gates are starting to get challenged by Chinese (open source) models, step by step.

GPT5 simply follows a trend. And within a few months, Anthropic will release something probably not much of a improvement over 4.0 but cheaper. Probably better with tool usage. And then comes GPT5.1, 6 months later, and ...

GPT-5.0 in my opinion, for a company with the funding that openAI has, needed to be beat the competition with much more impact.
