OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged a “bumpy” launch for GPT-5, citing a malfunctioning real-time router that disrupted the model’s performance. During a Reddit AMA, Altman addressed the now-viral “chart crime” moment, where a flawed bar chart misrepresented GPT-5’s accuracy compared to GPT-4o and OpenAI o3 calling it a “mega chart screwup.” He assured users that fixes are underway, including improvements to decision boundaries and transparency in model selection. Many ChatGPT Plus users reverted to GPT-4o, prompting OpenAI to consider keeping it available. Altman emphasized GPT-5’s long-term potential despite early setbacks, describing it as a major leap toward Artificial General Intelligence and promising enhanced performance and clarity moving forward.
