<p>New Delhi: India, currently OpenAI’s second-largest market, could soon become its largest globally, CEO Sam Altman said on Wednesday as the company unveiled its next-generation model, GPT-5, which will be available free to all users.</p>.<p>Hailing India as an "incredibly fast-growing" market, Altman noted the remarkable pace at which Indian citizens and businesses are adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI).</p>.<p>"India is our second-largest market in the world after the US, and it may well become our largest market. It's incredibly fast-growing, but what users are doing with AI, what citizens of India are doing with AI, is really quite remarkable.</p>.<p>"We're especially focused on bringing products to India, working with local partners to make AI work great for India and make it more affordable for people across the country.</p>.<p>"We've been paying a lot of attention here given the rate of growth and I am excited to come for a visit in September," Altman said during a media briefing.</p>.<p>OpenAI on Thursday announced the launch of GPT-5, describing it as its “best model yet for coding and agentic tasks".</p>.<p>"We’re releasing GPT-5 in three sizes in the API -- gpt-5, gpt-5-mini, and gpt-5-nano -- to give developers more flexibility to trade off performance, cost, and latency. While GPT-5 in ChatGPT is a system of reasoning, non-reasoning, and router models, GPT-5 in the API platform is the reasoning model that powers maximum performance in ChatGPT.</p>.Sam Altman says Meta offered $100 million bonuses to OpenAI employees.<p>"Notably, GPT-5 with minimal reasoning is a different model than the non-reasoning model in ChatGPT, and is better tuned for developers. The non-reasoning model used in ChatGPT is available as gpt-5-chat-latest," OpenAI said in a blogpost.</p>.<p>The new model is a major upgrade over its predecessor, GPT-4, and represents a “pretty significant step” toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), Altman said.</p>.<p>"GPT-5 is really the first time that I think one of our mainline models has felt like you can ask a legitimate expert, like a PhD-level expert, anything... We wanted to simplify it and make it accessible. We wanted to make it available in our free tier for the first time," he said.</p>.<p>Nick Turley, head of ChatGPT, added that the new model significantly improves understanding across more than 12 Indian languages.</p>.<p>"GPT-5 significantly improves multilingual understanding across over 12 Indian languages, including regional languages. So that's really exciting because as Sam mentioned, India is a priority market for us," Turley said.</p>.<p>The rollout of GPT-5 began on August 7 for free, Plus, and Pro users, with Enterprise and Education users gaining access a week later.</p>
