Whenever OpenAI releases a new ChatGPT feature or model, it's always a crapshoot when you'll actually be able to use it. The headlines - both from tech media coverage and OpenAI itself - always read "now available", but then I go to ChatGPT (and I'm a paid pro user) and it's not available yet. As an engineer I understand rollouts, but maybe don't say it's generally available when it's not?


Weird. I got it immediately. I actually found out about it when I opened the app and saw it and thought “oh, a new model just dropped better go check YT for the video” which had just been uploaded. And I’m just a Plus user.


I asked GPT about it:

> You are using the newest model OpenAI offers to the public (GPT-4o). There is no “GPT-5” model accessible yet, despite the splashy headlines.


I can use it with the Github Copilot Pro plan.
