OpenAI: GPT-5 (batch)

GPT-5 from OpenAI is designed for handling extensive text, image, and file inputs with a context length of 400,000 tokens and supports reasoning and tools integration. While it excels in certain polyglot tasks, its performance varies across different benchmarks; the blended score of 69.7 places it moderately among competitors. For those needing comprehensive input modalities and robust tool support without structured output requirements, GPT-5 might be worth considering. However, given its price at $0.625 per million input tokens and $5.0 per million output tokens, it may not be the most cost-effective option for all users, especially if a higher blended benchmark score is essential.
