OpenAI's GPT-5 may arrive on Microsoft Copilot alongside ChatGPT: Report

Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI is set to benefit the Windows maker yet again. OpenAI is gearing up to release GPT-5 in August, and ahead of the launch, Microsoft has reportedly been spotted testing it in Copilot. According to a report by technology-focused news platform TestingCatalog, Microsoft's experimentation with GPT-5 features within the Copilot interface suggests that Copilot is likely to gain GPT-5 as soon as it becomes available on ChatGPT.
TestingCatalog reportedly spotted a new 'Smart' mode on the Copilot app and website.
What does this mean for users
Copilot already supports multiple chat modes, each powered by different AI models, and this new addition could streamline interactions by eliminating the need to switch modes manually. According to Windows Central, the presence of this 'Smart' mode also implies that GPT-5 may blend complex reasoning with faster, lighter responses, possibly combining both capabilities in a single system. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has hinted at this direction in model development earlier.
This mode is said to enable Microsoft Copilot to be able to think deeply or quickly, depending on the task. In simpler terms, it means that Copilot will adapt its response style based on the input that the user provides it with.
GPT-5 launch: What to expect
OpenAI is reportedly preparing to release its GPT-5 model as early as August, according to The Verge. GPT-5 is reportedly designed to move beyond the traditional single-model approach. Instead, it will operate as a more flexible system capable of combining multiple models, each tailored for specific tasks. CEO Sam Altman previously indicated that GPT-5 would integrate OpenAI's o3 model along with other technologies, aiming to streamline the company's growing AI portfolio.
In the long run, OpenAI intends to unify its GPT and o-series architectures into a single, versatile framework—one capable of leveraging various tools and handling a broader range of functions.
The model is anticipated to introduce multiple tiers of reasoning and capability. Free ChatGPT users will reportedly get basic access, while Plus and Premium subscribers will receive enhanced versions.
It's still unclear which tier of GPT-5 Microsoft Copilot will implement, but the company is likely to move quickly to integrate the new model once it becomes available.
In related news, Microsoft has added a new Copilot Mode to its Edge browser, bringing AI-driven tools that enhance the web browsing experience. The feature isn't enabled by default, but once activated, it allows users to search, ask questions, and engage with websites using the built-in Microsoft Copilot panel.

Asked ChatGPT for motivation, but this user discovered a whole new use for AI instead

AI Takes on the Role of City Guide An Accidental Feature That Just Works What began as a simple request for morning motivation ended with a surprising discovery for one ChatGPT user, who took to Reddit to share their experience. The user initially asked ChatGPT to help them get motivated for a walk. The AI delivered with what the user described as a perfectly blended mix of sass and humour. But things took an unexpected turn when the user casually mentioned where they planned to responded by offering to act as a tour guide along the route. Curious, the user decided to give it a voice mode and a standard pair of headphones, the user began their walk while ChatGPT provided real-time commentary. After being told the starting location, the AI offered informative insights about the city's history and landmarks expected along the way. Despite the walk lasting over an hour and twenty minutes, the AI managed to retain full context throughout the to the Reddit post, ChatGPT didn't just maintain conversational consistency — it also impressed with accuracy. The user, who already had a strong understanding of their city's background, admitted they learned a few new historical facts during the walk. Importantly, they noted that ChatGPT didn't make any factual errors or 'hallucinate' information, a concern often raised with AI language experience seems to have highlighted a new practical use of generative AI: serving as an on-demand tour guide for everyday users. While tools like ChatGPT are often promoted for productivity, creativity, or even emotional support, this case showed it could also offer engaging and reliable educational experiences in real-time and location-aware the AI didn't access live location data, the user fed it enough cues to allow the model to anticipate upcoming landmarks. Its ability to retain memory during the session allowed it to keep track of the route Reddit user ended their post with a suggestion: others should try ChatGPT in this way. What was meant to be a motivational nudge turned into an enriching hour of learning about one's own surroundings — making the walk more than just exercise.

Elon Musk Receives $29 Billion Stock Award from Tesla

Tesla has offered the chief executive Elon Musk $29bn (PS21.7bn) worth of Tesla stock award Elon Musk, to try to retain the billionaire in the company. The decision comes after an US judge rejected Tesla CEO bonus plan that was worth over $50 billion, and ruled that the pay is "unfair to shareholders". Elon Musk has been fighting a Delaware court ruling made earlier in 2024. On Monday, Tesla informed shareholders they expect Musk's $29 billion Elon Musk $29bn shares package will keep him 'focused and incentivized' as competition for top AI talent heats up. Tesla's board on Monday detailed in a post on X, Musk's social platform, the importance of retaining the company's world-class team and keeping them motivated and aligned — starting with Musk. The board said his unique combination of technical skills, leadership, and visionary drive is 'unparalleled.' Tesla announced that it would take place if they were to see the Delware tribunal reinstated Elon Musk Tesla bonus from 2018 the company would either forfeit or exchange the most recent share aware in order to keep from an "double dip". The board of the carmaker said it was hopeful that its chief executive will get the contract Elon Musk net worth 2025 $56 billion that would make it the largest Tesla leadership payout for a CEO in American history. The contract was structured to ensure that the event that Mr. Musk didn't meet certain milestones, such as Tesla's sales, market value and the underlying profit - he could not be paid in any way. 'Musk is Tesla's biggest asset, and I view the board's action as a very positive development.' He said that during"the "AI arms race", the firm was unable to keep Musk just "semi-committed". News outlets reported that Meta (Facebook) founder Mark Zuckerberg had recently offered top developers at OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, salaries Tesla executive compensation, worth tens of millions of dollars. In addition, Microsoft's AI division, led by the former Google DeepMind Co-founder Mustafa Suleyman, recently gained numerous new hires in Google's top ranks.
