What is GPT-5 best at?

General reasoning, tool use, and structured output. For bulk or latency-sensitive work, GPT-5 mini trades some depth for much lower cost and faster responses.

GPT-5 or GPT-5 mini — which should I use?

Start on mini for high-volume, well-defined tasks and escalate to full GPT-5 only for steps that genuinely need deeper reasoning. Mixing them per step is usually the cheapest reliable setup.

Where can I find prompts built for GPT-5?

Oort lists prompts with a recommended model and a shipped project attached — filter for GPT-5 and clone one with your own key (BYOK).

OpenAI GPT-5

Releases, pricing, and capability updates for OpenAI's GPT-5 family — plus the Oort prompts proven to get the most out of it.

What to know

GPT-5 is OpenAI's flagship general-purpose family, with a smaller GPT-5 mini variant tuned for cheap, high-volume work. For builders the practical questions are usually about tool-calling reliability, structured output, context limits, and cost per task rather than raw benchmark numbers. This hub tracks releases and pricing changes as they land, and points to the Oort prompts that already run well on GPT-5 so you can start from something that ships.
