Availability: OpenAI still prices the bare gpt-5 alias per token on its own rate card and announces no shutdown date for it. The pinned snapshot gpt-5-2025-08-07 is separately scheduled to shut down on December 11, 2026; that date applies to the pinned snapshot, not to the gpt-5 alias, so this row carries no shutdown date. If OpenAI later names the bare alias itself, this row ages to Deprecated on that date. Checked against OpenAI's deprecations page on 2026-08-25.

Price receipt

We read OpenAI's own pricing page on Aug 25, 2026 and found gpt-5 listed with a price on the same row — that read is where the number above comes from, recorded as a new model. We keep the page text we read; its content hash is 0359f17f7e.

Overview

OpenAI's August 2025 flagship for coding and agentic tasks, with configurable reasoning effort. 400K context window, 272K max input tokens, 128K max output tokens, text + image input, text output, September 2024 knowledge cutoff. Superseded by the GPT-5.1 through GPT-5.6 lines but still sold first-party at its own rate. The default snapshot behind the alias is gpt-5-2025-08-07.

Benchmark performance

accuracy % · higher is better
Percentile vs all tracked models 43.7th3 independent measurements
Percentile per $/Mtok 12.7

We hold no per-benchmark accuracy scores for this model yet, so it has no accuracy average. That is a gap in our coverage, not a sign the model is untested — independent evaluators often publish a composite index for a new model long before releasing its per-benchmark numbers. The percentile above is its standing across the independent composites below.

Independent composite scores
  • AA Intelligence Index: 35.3 (Artificial Analysis composite across reasoning, knowledge and coding evals)
  • AA Agentic Index: 26.5 (Tool use, planning, autonomy)
  • AA-Omniscience Index: -8.7 (−100–100)
How it stacks up
  • Ranks #85 of 170 comparably-measured models by percentile score, across 3 independent measurements
  • Ranks #140 of 170 comparably-tested models by normalized performance per dollar
