In this video, I take a deep dive into GPT-5—beyond the hype—to look at both its impressive capabilities and some glaring issues, including the “chart crimes.” I break down the real benchmarks, hidden rate limits, router problems, and what OpenAI didn’t show in their launch. Despite the flaws, I’ll explain why GPT-5 still manages to impress me in key areas.
