ChatGPT now defaults to GPT-5 automatically selecting the model for each task, which may help beginners but feel less transparent to advanced users. A setting is still available to enable access to older "legacy" models such as o3 and GPT-4o. When turned on, these can be manually chosen from the "Other models" menu. This manual option applies only to past models. The GPT-5 "Thinking" and "Pro" versions can also be selected manually, but only by Pro subscribers.

Microsoft is bringing OpenAI's GPT-5 to its entire Copilot lineup on Windows, Mac, and mobile devices. In Microsoft 365 Copilot, licensed users can use GPT-5 for more advanced tasks. The Microsoft Copilot web app and mobile apps for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS offer GPT-5 for free through "Smart Mode." Both versions use a model router that automatically switches between a "smart, high-throughput model" and a "deeper reasoning model" depending on the task.

Developers can now use GPT-5 in GitHub Copilot, Visual Studio Code, and via Azure AI Foundry, which offers a built-in model router for automatic model selection. GPT-5 is also available in Copilot Studio for building custom agents tailored to business workflows.

OpenAI is offering ChatGPT Enterprise to U.S. government agencies for just one dollar per year. This special version comes with enhanced security and privacy features, but does not include access to the OpenAI API. The deal follows OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic joining a new GSA marketplace for AI software, which acts as a central purchasing platform for federal agencies. According to GSA Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum, the token price is intended as a trial with no long-term commitment. Data from government employees will not be used to train OpenAI's models. So far, about 90,000 federal employees are using ChatGPT.

Google is rolling out a new "Guided Learning" feature in the Gemini app, designed to help users break down complex topics step by step. Unlike standard AI answers, Guided Learning uses follow-up questions, interactive explanations, images, videos, and quizzes to deepen understanding. Similar learning tools are already available from OpenAI and Anthropic. The feature is powered by LearnLM, a model optimized specifically for education. According to Google, Guided Learning was developed with input from educators, learning scientists, and students. Teachers can also add Guided Learning links directly into Google Classroom.
