GPT-5 is finally here guys! OpenAI’s first unified model that’s now in the hands of 700M people for FREE. But Elon’s Grok 4 Heavy was already smarter 2 weeks ago?
What are on FIRE 🔥
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ASSEMBLED
On August 13, we’re hosting a conversation with Paul Weiss, Managing Partner at Bluewave Technology Group, and Mae Cromwell, who brings hands-on experience deploying AI for Assembled customers. They’ll break down what actually makes AI work and where most teams go wrong.
You’ll learn:
→ Why enterprise procurement works against innovation
→ How to evaluate AI opportunities using the Friction / Frequency / Value framework
→ What successful AI implementation really looks like
AI INSIGHTS
Well folks, after 2 years of waiting, GPT-5 is finally here - first unified flagship model, and OpenAI says it's absolutely crushing every benchmark we've ever seen.
What’s new in GPT-5?
Combines o-series reasoning + GPT-series speed → a single, “unified” model.
Can autonomously handle multi-step tasks: app generation, calendar navigation, research summaries.
Real-time router chooses between quick replies or slower, deeper reasoning without user intervention.
OpenAI’s calling GPT-5 “the best model in the world,” and in some areas, the numbers back it up:
Coding: 74.9% (crushes Gemini 2.5 Pro at 59.6%).
Science Q&A: 89.4% (beats Claude Opus 4.1 at 80.9%, Grok 4 Heavy at 88.9%).
Healthcare accuracy: Hallucination rate 1.6% (vs. GPT-4o’s 12.9%, o3’s 15.8%).
Extended reasoning: 42% on Humanity’s Last Exam (under Grok 4 Heavy’s 44.4%).
For the first time ever, even free ChatGPT users get the reasoning model as their default. Almost 10% of the planet, overnight!
GPT-5’s pitch is “agent over chatbot”, a team of Ph.D. level experts in your pocket!
Why It Matters: Free access to a reasoning model keeps users inside OpenAI’s ecosystem before Anthropic, xAI, or Google can match it (even if Grok 4 Heavy still wins certain reasoning tests). Now I wonder what’s GPT-6 going to look like? And how long until we stop calling these “chat” bots entirely?

AI HIGHLIGHTS
🏫 AI pioneer Andrew Ng announced a Free comprehensive course on Claude Code in partnership with Anthropic. If you want to use highly agentic AI, join the course here.
👔 A Reddit user, a Senior DA Consultant, asked ChatGPT to explain their job to a five‑year‑old, kinda like a “toy counter” in charts. It’s funny & maybe a little existential.
🎥 Alibaba just dropped Wan 2.2, a video model with cinematic quality, smoother movements, and prompt following. These are 10 mind-blowing examples went viral.
🔥 Hours after OpenAI launched GPT-5, Elon Musk claimed his Grok 4 Heavy was already smarter - two weeks ago? A personal & technical rivalry, even without published benchmarks?
📢 OpenAI dropped a $1.5M-per-employee bomb on the AI talent war, for ~1,000 staff, costing $1.5B+. Right before GPT-5’s launch. They’re not losing anyone else!
💰 AI Daily Fundraising: AI lab Decart raised $100M at a $3.1B valuation, up 6x in under a year, with 60+ staff, profitable since day one, cutting video model costs from $1,400 to $0.25/hour.

AI CHART
Microsoft’s new CLIO framework lets LLMs adapt their reasoning in real time, rather than relying only on pre-trained logic. In tests, it tripled GPT-4.1’s accuracy on tough biomedical questions - beating even o3 (high) - and offers full steering controls for scientists who need both rigor and flexibility.
How it works
CLIO: generates feedback loops during use.
Can manage its own memory, flag uncertainties, and revise answers mid-process.
Users can:
Set uncertainty thresholds.
Rerun or alter reasoning paths.
Oversee how the AI handles ambiguous problems.
Performance results: Test: Humanity’s Last Exam (biomedical, text-only).
GPT-4.1 baseline: 8.55% accuracy.
GPT-4.1 + CLIO: 22.37% accuracy → 2.6× improvement.
Outperformed o3 (high), a top reasoning model.
If today’s models are frozen in time, CLIO makes them fluid. It means researchers could debug reasoning paths in real time, not months later with retraining. It’s like going from a GPS that only gives you one fixed route to one that can rethink your path mid-drive when the road ahead changes.
And here’s the bigger question: If Microsoft just turned GPT-4.1 into something that can think, steer, and adapt on command… what happens when they plug this into their next-gen models?
