<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nOpenAI CEO Sam Altman has admitted that the company\u2019s latest AI model \u2013 GPT-5 had a \u2018bumpy\u2019 launch. The confession was made during a Reddit Ask Me Anything session on Friday, August 8 where Altman and members of the GPT-5 team answered questions about new features, problems at launch, and the now-famous \u201cchart crime\u201d. <\/p>\n During GPT-5\u2019s presentation, a flawed chart sparked jokes online. The chart misrepresented SWE-bench Verified data, exaggerating GPT-5’s accuracy (74.9% with thinking, 52.8% without) compared to OpenAI o3 (69.1%) and GPT-4o (30.8%), likely due to swapped or misaligned bars, as noted in OpenAI’s own SWE-bench Verified documentation released on August 7, 2025.Altman called it a \u201cmega chart screwup\u201d on X (formerly Twitter), clarifying that the blog post charts were accurate.<\/p>\n One of GPT-5\u2019s main features is a real-time router that decides whether to answer quickly or take extra time to \u201cthink.\u201d But it failed on launch day, making the model appear \u201cmore bumpy,\u201d Sam Altman<\/a> said. \u201cGPT-5 will seem smarter starting today. Yesterday, we had a sev and the autoswitcher was out of commission for a chunk of the day, and the result was GPT-5 seemed way dumber,\u201d he wrote.\u201cAlso, we are making some interventions to how the decision boundary works that should help you get the right model more often. We will make it more transparent about which model is answering a given query\u201d, Sam Altman told Redditors.<\/p>\n After the GPT-5 launch, many users complained, saying GPT-4o worked better for their needs. To this, Sam Altman responded:\u201cWe are looking into letting Plus users continue to use 4o. We are trying to gather more data on the tradeoffs.\u201d \u201cWe are going to double rate limits for Plus users as we finish rollout,\u201d he added. <\/div>\nWhat is OpenAI\u2019s \u2018chart crime\u2019 moment<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
