The latest AI model from OpenAI is now available in Microsoft’s online assistant.
Microsoft has integrated GPT-5 into the web version of Copilot. The Windows app of Copilot still uses GPT-4 for now, but the new version is expected to appear later in Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and Visual Studio Code.
Better Answers
GPT-5 has just been introduced by OpenAI, with improvements in general intelligence, creative writing tasks, coding, and medical applications. A new feature automatically routes questions to the most suitable internal model based on complexity. On the site, users still need to manually activate GPT-5 via a selection menu. The description of GPT-5 on the Copilot website reads: “thinks deeply or quickly depending on the task”.
Faster and Safer
In tests, GPT-5 responded faster and more comprehensively than its predecessor. Even a light-hearted question like “which came first: the chicken or the egg?” immediately yielded a concrete answer with a detailed explanation from various perspectives. According to PCWorld, Microsoft claims that GPT-5 has one of the safest AI profiles to date, with strong protection against misuse such as malware generation and fraud.
GPT-5 is available from today in Azure AI Foundry. The rollout to other Copilot platforms will follow later. Could Microsoft finally attract the desired number of users to Copilot?
